Advancements in Sport Textiles

By Priyanka Ramakrishnan

The SPORTTECH sector includes specialist apparel for specific sports each with its own particular functions. The performance fibres, yarns, fabrics and finishes developed for this specialist sector are increasingly transferring to the mass market in the high street. The increasing cultural importance of sportswear in fashion meant that only 25% of
sportswear was used for active sports or during exercise. The report indicates 17.6% growth in the sportswear market over the next five years resulting in UK sales of 5 billion in 2007. Consumers demand high levels of comfort, design and easy care in all types of clothing. However, in sportswear, where thermo-physiological comfort can significantly enhance the performance of the wearer, the use of innovative textile products and materials is increasingly common. The dramatic growth in the active-wear and sportswear sector has significant implications for the textile industry worldwide.
