Based on type, the woven textile segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2016 to 2021. Woven textiles are widely utilized by various end-use industries such as military & defense, healthcare, and sports & fitness. As these textiles offer high standard performance in shielding and conductivity, they are considered to be the preferred type of conductive textiles utilized across the globe, thereby boosting the growth of the woven textile segment.

Based on end user, the sports & fitness segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR from 2016 to 2021. Increased awareness about health, fitness, and wellness, globally has led to a high demand for wearable devices, as they are mainly used to monitor sleep, calories consumed, heart rate, and blood pressure, among other health parameters. Conductive textiles are used in the manufacture of products, such as smart shirts that record heart rates, intelligent bands that track physical activities, and other fitness monitoring devices. Thus, increase in demand for such health monitoring devices has contributed to the growth of the conductive textiles market.

Key market players have focused on the adoption of new product launches, technological enhancements, partnerships, and collaborations to cater to the demand for conductive textiles across various applications. The maximum number of developments in the global conductive textiles market was reported in 2016.

In October 2016, HITEK Electronic Materials Ltd. announced the arrival of a solution, which helps eliminate the restrictions faced by conductive fabrics. It has been a challenge for the industry to print directly on the fabric surface. The newly developed technique of printing is made using nanotechnology that does not affect the conductivity or performance of the fabric.

In February 2016, Parker Chomerics launched Therm-a-gap MCS30 that not only exhibits long-term thermal and physical reliability but also is resistant to thermal oxidation degradation. Therm-a-gap MCS30 is a series of low weight-loss, fully cured thermal filler pads for low deflection force applications with moderate thermal conductivity and high reliability.

In June 2014, AiQ partnered with Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (Taiwan) and Broadcom Corporation (U.S.) to provide smart shirt wearable solutions for vital sign tracking systems. The Intelligent Sensor Shirt is integrated with conductive fibers that sense a wearer's heart rate, skin temperature, and breathing rate, and send it to a device on the sleeve. This gadget can easily pair with a tablet, phone, or other mobile devices via Bluetooth.

In February 2014, the Japanese firm NTT, a parent company of DoCoMo, collaborated with Toray Industries to develop a nanofiber-laced clothing with conductive fibers, and a wristband that monitors vital signs and transmits the information to smartphones.
