By revenue, the mobiltech category accounted for the largest proportion of share in the global technical textiles market. The segment is likely to sustain its market share over the forecast period due to the rapid growth of the automotive industry.Woven technical textiles dominated the market with a share of 63% in 2015. The ability to confer different physical and mechanical properties to textiles by using different weaves is attributed to their market share. However, nonwoven technical textiles will gain prominence over the forecast period.In terms of consumption volume, Asia-Pacific (APAC) accounted for more than 46% of the share in the global technical textiles market in 2015. The region is likely to sustain its market share and grow considerably during the forecast period. On the contrary, Europe, the middle East, and Africa (EMEA) held the smallest share despite Europe being the prominent consumer of technical textiles.
