Technical textiles used in clothing and fashion applications are called 'clothing technology', or 'clothtech' in English. Clothing technical textiles include fibres, yarns and textiles used as technical components during the production of clothing. Lining, wadding, interlining, sewing thread and other insulation materials used in clothing production are among the 'clothtech' products. Clothtech products are used in practical and high performance sportswear, outdoor clothing and protective clothing. As athleisure becomes more popular and people become more aware of personal protection, there is a greater need for 'clothtech' products. In addition, nonwovens and technical textiles in the clothing category always find buyers at higher prices than products in all other categories. The global clothing technical textiles market is predicted to grow by 18.34% by 2028. The market, which had a size of 20.55 billion dollars in 2020, is expected to reach 24.32 billion dollars in 2028. In addition, while 2.13 million tons of clothing technical textiles were produced in 2020, it is estimated that this figure will reach 2.49 million tons in 2028. Again, while the unit price per kg of clothing technical textiles was 9.64 dollars in 2020, this figure is predicted to be 9.76 dollars in 2028.
