Smart clothing monitors the wearer’s physical condition. Smart shirts bodysuits, pants, and undergarments are some of the products that provide biometric data, such as pulse rate, temperature, muscle stretch, heart rhythm, and physical movement; this data is transmitted via Bluetooth to an app in real-time. The integrated technology monitors the material conditions of the user and uses big data analytics to predict and show the results. Also, smart clothing technologies can sense and monitor environmental conditions, as well.
Smart clothing market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.6 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 5.3 billion by 2024; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 26.2%. Rising demand for monitoring bodily activities through sensors and increasing the adoption of smart clothes for various end-user industries are expected to fuel the growth of the smart clothing market during the forecast period.
Smart clothing market for active smart textiles is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Vibrant smart textiles can sense and react to the stimuli; this has increased their usage in many applications in most of the end-user industries. For instance, phase-change materials are used for heat storage and transfer. This type is used to produce outfits used in sports, firefighting, defense (bulletproof jackets), and other professions. Textile products can be made more comfortable when a textile material can react to the environment. Thus, the market for active smart textiles has proliferated in recent years.
