Market Research Reports, Inc. has announced the addition of “Global Smart Textiles Market for Military 2016 - 2020” research report to their website www.MarketResearchReports.com

Lewes, DE -- (SBWire) -- 12/22/2016 --Report forecast the global smart textiles market for the military to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% during the period 2016-2020.

Smart textiles or smart fabrics are created by integrating electronic components into them to increase the functionality of the product. Some of the integral parts of smart textiles are sensors, actuators, and control units. These fabrics are capable of interacting with the environment and have the ability to react to physical stimuli from thermal, mechanical, electrical, and chemical sources.

Smart textiles are capable of health monitoring, ballistic protection, and inducing technological applications like global positioning system (GPS) system and sensors. Many countries are increasingly emphasizing on providing smart textile-based clothing to soldiers, primarily for protection, safety, and better connectivity and coordination.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global smart textiles market for the military for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the expenditure of each region (Americas; Europe, the Middle East, and Africa [EMEA]; and Asia-
Pacific [APAC]) on acquiring these smart textiles/fabrics for enhanced performance of soldiers on battlefields..

The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
- Americas
- APAC
- EMEA

According to the report, soldiers carry a substantial amount of weight during any combat mission including the equipment and protective clothing. Every piece of armor that soldiers wear except the eye protection consists of a textile component. Conventional blast protection systems and protective armor were bulky and caused fatigue, which affected the mobility of soldiers. However, the introduction of smart textiles in the military clothing has enhanced its capabilities and functions and also reduced the total weight that soldiers need to carry.

Further, the report states that smart textiles may not be easy to clean and maintain as sensors and actuators are integrated into them. This equipment is required to be kept away from chemicals and frequent washing, as even a small breakage in the continuity of the circuit may damage its proper functioning. Electronic components may get detached during cleaning, which again is likely to pose a threat when it comes to properly fitting back the devices onto the uniform.
