The normal textile and leather markets for producers in the western world are depressed since decades of years. Textile production is moving to the south and to the east. Nevertheless the demand for textiles will still grow worldwide.

In textiles for fashion the growth will be higher than the growth of the world population.

Moreover, in technical textiles the demand will be much higher because of the possibilities to replace known materials as wood or metal by high sophisticated man made textile products. These new textile products have specific chemical or physical properties as heat and cut resistance as well as resistance against abrasion, high resistance against different chemicals, thermo regulation, antimicrobial properties, sun protection, etc.

Technical textiles are used for example in the following areas:

• Advanced and Protective Clothing (Fire-fighters, Military, Workers with risks to have accidents in various professions, etc.)
• Protective Home Textiles (Flame-retardant Upholstery, Carpets, Window Coverings, Curtains,..)
• Safety Textiles (Aircrafts, Cruise Ships, Hotels, Public Buildings, Trains,..)
• Industrial Textiles (Filtration, Packing, Geotextiles,..)
