Textile materials are important components for innovative products. Their importance is steadily growing. The range of application reaches from airbags in car industry, textile sealings and filters in industry, fibre composites for sport equipment or aircrafts up to textile concrete in building industry and textile implants in medicine. The term "Technical textiles" covers all those textile materials not belonging to clothing and home textiles in a classical sense. Technical textiles are mainly developed, produced and applied under the aspect of functionality.

The development and production of technical textiles has been a growing market for many years. In the 90s technical textiles in Western Europe rose in average by 6% per year. Considering the total textile production, their share increased from 18 % to 25 %. Experts estimate that nowadays the quantitative share of technical textiles in Germany is already at 45%. Annual growth rates of 3.8 % on average are predicted for the world market of technical textiles.
