CarlisleIT’s ARACON conductive yarns are ideally suited for use in smart textiles, with unparalleled washability, conductivity, and the strength of DuPont™ Kevlar®. ARACON yarns and braided EMI shields offer superior shielding effectiveness versus traditional copper wire solutions and provide significant weight savings in military, automotive and other smart textile applications.

As part of the agreement, Myant and CarlisleIT will combine their respective expertise related to textile computing and high-quality fibers and connectors to develop specific applications for use across industries. The two companies will also develop a collaboration for ongoing innovation towards next generation yarns and connectors.

In announcing the partnership, Tony Chahine, founder and CEO of Myant Inc., notes “Our partnership and exclusive agreement with CarlisleIT solidifies Myant’s leadership of the textile computing category, and our efforts to connect each of us to the world around us, and in so doing create proactive and anticipatory solutions for health, wellness and everyday living.”

He adds, “This partnership guarantees Myant access to the most conductive, high-quality computing yarn on the market, with a significant ability to scale production alongside Myant’s growth.”

John Berlin, President of CarlisleIT, notes that “our agreement with Myant puts us at the leading edge of a quickly evolving industrial category – textile computing – with significant potential to immediately impact CarlisleIT’s existing client base with new innovations and processes. We expect this deal will be significant to CarlisleIT’s short and long-term success in textile computing applications.”

Together, Myant and CarlisleIT are at centre of a transformation of advanced manufacturing and the culture of “making” in North America. As part of this agreement, CarlisleIT becomes a partner in Myant’s Digital Textile Factory initiative that seeks to democratize access to textile computing knowledge and assets. The Digital Textile Factory will give entrepreneurs, innovators and established industry players access to a virtual factory for ideation, research & development, access to yarns and connectors, and design and manufacturing at scale. In so doing, this initiative will propagate and democratize advanced manufacturing techniques and access to the most advanced textile computing machinery in the world. The Digital Textile Factory will also help establish and export standards related to textile computing and its use as a platform across industries.

Conductive Fiber Market Revenue is expected to reach US$ 1.3 Bn in 2019

Conductive fibers recorded a volume sales of approximately 42 thousand tons, equating a value of US$ 1.2 billion in 2018. As per the insights culled by the latest report of Future Market Insights (FMI), the global conductive fibers market is likely to spectate high growth over the course of the forecast period, driven by a plethora of factors.

The growth in sales can be attributed to the increasing use of conductive fibers in electromagnetic shielding, in light of growing electromagnetic pollution with the near-ubiquitous use of smartphones, smart watches, and similar electronic devices.

"Adoption of conductive fibers continues to face technical and commercial challenges w.r.t the sensor size on the technical front and limited awareness on the commercial front. Manufacturers prioritizing their investments in industry-specific development of conductive fiber are likely to add new application dimensions and revenue channels to the market, finds FMI's report".

Copper over Silver - The Base Material Shift to Look Out for

Future Market Insights' study identifies that the conductive fibers market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of approximately 11% through 2029. Manufacturers are shifting away from cotton and wool towards nylon and polyester materials, owing to the growing consumers' proclivity for synthetic fibers. The study finds that as conductive fibers market operates within the inner circle of the environmental norms, graphene has been emerging as cost-effective, compatible, and environmental-benign coating for the development of e-textiles.

Opportunities abound for conductive fibers manufacturers in Asia Pacific as identified by FMI's report with the establishment of manufacturing facilities of industries in developing countries such as India and China. Growing investments in the military & defense and aviation & aerospace sectors are likely to navigate the conductive fibers market to lucrative lanes as demand for tech togs and wearable electronics has been on a surge to beat harsh environmental conditions. However, intense focus on revamping the legacy military and defense infrastructure and a quest for technologically-forward equipment for army personnel has been channelizing high investments in the conductive fibers market in North America.

The study points towards the evolving preferences of end-use industries for comfortable plus cost-effective textiles, which has been instigating a shift of manufacturers towards the integration of copper from silver in electronic circuits. The report opines that silver being a rare material is cost prohibitive in nature, which makes copper a suitable material for the development of conductive fibers.

 

Conductive Fibers Market - Vendor Insights

Some of the leading players in the conductive fibers market encompass Toray Industries, Kuraray Co. Ltd., NV Bekaert SA, Seiren Co. Ltd., William Barnet & Son LLC, Ascend Performance Materials LLC, Perlon Group, Ronda Industrial Belts Technology Ltd., Swicofil

These players are focusing on expanding their business by marking their presence in overseas territories. In addition, manufacturers are seen working towards the expansion of their product portfolios by introducing feature-rich conductive fibers. As the study finds, the global conductive fibers market operates under the degree of fragmentation with large number of players striving towards acquiring high market share.

·         Nov 23, 2015: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND THE INDUSTRIAL FABRICS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL TO HOST FIRST-EVER SMART FABRICS SUMMIT

WASHINGTON - Today, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced it will partner with the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) to host the first-ever Smart Fabrics Summit on April 4, 2016 in Washington, D.C. The Summit will provide a forum for public and private sector leaders in technology, apparel, and textiles to highlight recent developments in the smart fabrics industry, identify opportunities for collaboration, and discuss key industry challenges.
 
Recent advances in technology have brought together the apparel, technology, and textile industries to develop new capabilities in fabrics with the potential to change how athletes, patients, soldiers, first responders, and everyday consumers interact with their clothes and other textile products. Known as 'smart fabrics', these new high-tech products have the capability to interact with their user or environment, including tracking and communicating data about their wearer or environment to other devices through embedded sensors and conductive yarns. The applications for this new technology are broad, with most smart fabric product development seen in the fields of defense, fitness, health, and public safety.
 
In the upcoming years, the smart fabrics industry will continue to make technological advances and expand into new, untapped markets. The world market for smart clothing is projected to grow from a base of $17.2 million in 2013 to approximately $600 million by 2020, according to research firm Tractica LLC.
 
As "America's Innovation Agency", the Department of Commerce plays a unique role in facilitating greater collaboration between the public and private sector leaders to spur new advancements in the industry and encourage the creation of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. The Smart Fabrics Summit is an opportunity to discuss critical topics impacting the Smart Fabrics industry including research and development funding, intellectual property rights, standards, classification, and health regulations.
 
The Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) is the leading trade organization representing the advanced textiles industry. Founded in 1912, IFAI represents over 1500 member companies including manufacturers and suppliers of smart fabrics, shade fabrics and other specialty textiles.
