Agenda
What can statistics and market research data tell
us about the past, present and future of UK
technical textiles?
How has the climate for innovation changed over
the past three decades?
Where do future opportunities and growth
prospects lie for UK industry ? What will be the
drivers of innovation?
Time for a change in terminology ?

Scope – technical textiles
“Textile materials and products manufactured
primarily for their technical performance
properties rather than for their aesthetic or
decorative characteristics”
Textile Terms & Definitions, The Textile Institute
... but many shortcomings as a definition
Few reliable statistics
Commissioned by DTI (and updated for MatKTN)
to prepare an overview of UK TT
Developed and researched DRA TT model
