Textile and Garment

The textile and garments industry is among the largest manufacturing sectors in the world. After global supply disruptions and consumer demand fluctuations of recent years, the sector has largely bounced back and is continuing on a growth trajectory. The global market size was valued at $1,065 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach upwards of $1,500 billion by mid 2030-s.

Experiences from previous years as well as new developments are shifting priorities in the sector.

Recent trends for textile and garment include:

• Recent developments in healthcare have decisively revamped the biomedical textiles sector as demand for innovative absorbent, sterile, and flexible medical apparel and textiles continues to surge.
• A significant shift is happening towards sustainable practices in apparel manufacturing, including the use of recycled and upcycled materials. Innovations like enzyme-based recycling and advanced depolymerization are leading the way toward a circular economy within the textile industry.
• The industry is embracing advanced manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and robotics to improve production efficiency and precision, drive complex design, reduce waste, and lower production costs.
• A growing trend towards personalized and customizable garments, driven by consumer demand for unique and individualized products. AI and data analytics are being leveraged to predict consumer preferences.
