With Government programs like the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM) encouraging market expansion, India is emerging as a global leader in the production of technical textiles.
The US is a leader in the medical textiles industry, specialising in biodegradable surgical fabrics, and its automobile industry is adopting lightweight and recyclable textiles.
