TECHNICAL TEXTILES

India is rising and moving ahead with opportunities in every sector. For the past four years India’s GDP has grown up to 8%, and is assumed to remain consistent at 8-9% for coming years. According to Goldman Sachs, India’s economy will exceed the economy of Europe and Japan by 2030 and that of the US by 2045.Such a growth is possible because of the increase in household incomes and the predicted growth in agriculture, manufacturing and service sectors. Also the consumer spending level is growing over 5% per annum which has resulted in the on-going growth of organized retail sectors. Talking about the technical textile industry in India, it is said to be its initial stage as it contributes only 3% of total consumption. But, it would be wrong to say that India’s technical textile industry is still sleeping. It has woken up to the enormous potential of the technical textile sector and is predicted to grow faster in next two decades than the growth withstand by US and Europe in last three decades. This is said to become possible with the growing middle class, young and educated population. And Technical Textile would be one of the most promising sectors in this growth. And the factors like, the global economic change, strong government support, the introduction of appropriate legislation, the development of tests and standards, and widespread recognition of the need for more trained personnel, etc. also playing the valuable role in driving the industry to the farthest destination. Thus it won’t be wrong to say that, “Technical Textiles in India- A sleeping volcano prepares to erupt.”

Abstract Technical Textiles is expected to be a rapidly emerging sector for Indian economy from a consumption perspective as well as trading opportunities. In this paper, researcher searches the answer of the question: Is India witnessing an improvement in Technical Textile trade? Attempts are being made to solve this question by studying the trade of India’s Technical Textiles in the past decade i.e. from the year 2001-2002 to 2009-2010. The meadows of Technical Textiles have not been adequately explored and gives due importance in the Indian context so far, and it is an area where the industry can do extremely well. In order to estimate the future and scope, the researcher makes efforts to project the export and import of India’s Technical Textiles from the year 2010-2011 to 2014-2015. For this purpose, time series analysis is used in order to examine the data and finding out the trend values of Technical Textiles trade of India for the next 5 years. The results suggest that both export and import of India’s Technical textiles are rising year on year basis but at the diminishing rates and the export from India are larger than the import, which leads to the conclusion that India’s Technical textiles trade will be rising in the coming years. Key Words: Technical Textiles, India, Export, Import, Trade Trends.

Indian textile industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world. Textile Industry is providing one of the most basic needs of people i.e. clothing. It is one of India's oldest industries and has a prominent presence in the national economy as it contributes to about 14 per cent of manufacturing value-addition and provides gainful employment to millions of people. Indian textile industry is the 2nd largest industry after China. In last few years, China has started importing significant volumes of fiber and yarn from India. Bangladesh is also one of the destinations where Indian textile exports have grown in last few years. Apart from this though the Indian textile play very important role, there are many Challenges Faced by the Indian Textile and Apparel Industries like; Indian textile is not very known in the global market, increasing labour charges, lack of skilled labours, lack of infrastructure etc. The Government of India has started promotion of its 'India Handloom' initiative on social media with a view to connect with customers, especially youth, in order to promote high quality handloom products as India Handloom Brand. The Textile Sector in India ranks next to Agriculture and it occupies a unique place in our country. An Indian textile contributes about 14% of total industrial production and 30% of total exports as well as second largest employment provider after agriculture. This research paper deals with present, past and future of textile industries as well as type of improvements which are done to uplift their position.

Currently, the use of Textile is being continuously expanded in fields including medical, military, structural, telecommunications, electronics, and aerospace etc. applications. Thus the importance of the textiles increases constantly. The specific and critical character of the technical applications imposed a dynamic change in the fields of the design, engineering, production and testing. The traditional empirical approach has been replaced by the careful modeling, calculation of the properties, prediction of the behavior and the final evaluation of the performance. The modern approach is reflected on the majority of the recent research results, the patents and the scientific publications of the academic and industrial research community.

In the era of wearable computing, intelligent systems are breaking the bounds of traditional textiles and their design. The integration of the technologies with clothing, accessories, upholstery, or industrial technical textiles provides higher user-comfort and enables their seamless use in everyday activities. Investment in spinning and weaving equipment are increased very rapidly in Countries which is producing and exporting textiles. The Government will devise suitable measures to facilitate that the Textile Industry grows at the rate of 18% per annum. The Government will also take efforts to address the labour force will be generated by creating new infrastructure and also by strengthening the existing ones. Government of India is moving towards increasing productivity for increasing export growth of textiles. Purchasing new machinery or enhancing the quality of the existing machinery and introducing new technology can also be very useful in increasing the research and development (R and D) related activities that in the modern era are very important for increasing the industrial growth of a country. Some of the recent trends and developments of Textiles business will be discussed in this article.

The role of textile industry in the economy of Pakistan in undoubtedly outstanding and the efforts made in vitalising this sector through balancing, modernization and restructuring are showing good results. An important area of the textile sector worthy of serious attention, and where products from the industry are non-existing is tech textile or technical textile, i.e. high performance textiles. This is the area of textile products that are specially designed for high performance applications. Examples of such products include bullet proof jackets, flame retardant textiles, medical textiles (sutures, gloves, bandages, etc.,) clothing for battle and air fields etc. This is the arena of products manufactured to meet the requirements of specific function rather than fashion. A large volume of business is awaited there if the small project investment, in research and development, is initiated.

Growth of textile market needs a stable and sustainable ideas for the economic growth of our country. Now-a-days majorly synthetic and power looms are used in the production of technical textiles, having an adverse impact on our environment as well as on utilization of natural fibers and. The increasing demand and awareness about the benefits of utilizing natural fibers an ecofriendly various product has created an urge for the researchers to develop products using conventional fiber to product production process. Thus, in this paper the innovative idea of utilizing minor fibers like ramie and sisal as soundproof material andby using various traditional spinning and weaving techniques of our country has been discussed. Also, seeking for collaboration and get benefits of various government policies and schemes for the artisans which will help in overall growth and development of our country.
