With the growing number of institutes and universities venturing into the research and development of heating fabrics and smart textiles, the technology development and the fabrics development in the recent years have given rise to several new products to the segment. Carbon fiber-based and polymer-based fabrics have shown an exponential increase in production for multiple applications such as military, sports, and healthcare. For instance, wearable heating system with a controllable e-textile-based thermal panel by Istanbul Technical University has given rise to products such as Loomia’s electronic jacket. There have been several such cases whereby the information provided by the research studies of the universities is based on the product development of a company. Moreover, several companies also collaborate with institutions and universities to do the research on their behalf, thereby reducing the R&D costs.
