textiles as well as to nonwovens.
The sector of technical and innovative textiles is a reality which
is gaining more and more importance in terms of size, thanks to the
technological features of its products and to its continuous offer
of new and promising market niches.
The growing importance of this sector is confirmed by following figures:
| - |
technical textiles account for 23%
of the European textile market; |
| - |
their world consumption is equivalent to 19.6
million tons and will reach 33.7
million tons in 2010, with an average growth rate of
yearly 3.8%; |
| - |
this sector boasts in Italy a turnover of
1,200 million Euros and employs 6,000 people. |
Italian textile machine manufacturers follow the development of this
sector with keen attention. ACIMIT estimates that over
100 of their member companies operate in the manufacture of
specially designed or modified machines for the production of innovative
technical textiles and nonwovens. This sector produces a though minimal
but steadily growing turnover, accounting for
5 to 10% on the total turnover of ACIMIT's member companies.
ACIMIT's project named TECHNICAL TEXTILES
is aimed at:
- making member companies updated on the characteristics of the
sector of technical textiles,
- supporting the activity of member companies already involved or
interested in the sector.
