Press Release Body = Technical textiles is one of the fastest-growing and changing
areas of the global textile and apparel industry. In fact, just-style predicts that
global usage of technical fabrics for apparel will increase steadily over the next
six years with market volume and value set to increase by 23% and 17% respectively.
This increase will be due to the increasing market penetration of more technical
fabrics, such as Kevlar and Nomex, into mainstream apparel either as a blend or as a
stand alone garment.

This comprehensive report outlines the fundamental techniques and raw materials
behind technical apparel, examines the growth areas and current areas of research,
reviews some of the world leaders in the sector and provides market forecasts to
2011.

Chapter one asks \'what is a technical textile?\' and offers definitions of the market
and examples of technical fabric properties, aesthetic properties and functional
properties.

Chapter two identifies global market trends, segmenting and analysing the technical
apparel fabric market from 2001-2011. This includes fibre types and usage, advanced

fabrics. This refers to apparel that is available to purchase through conventional
routes, e.g. retail outlets, mail-order and internet shopping. Performance textiles,

responsive garments are amongst the topics discussed.
