TTNA to raise frequency of technical textiles & nonwovens trade show

The agriculture sector represented eighteen percent (18%) of the total companies, while the transportation sector (including aerospace) accounted for seven percent (7%). The industrial sector opportunities represented three percent (3%), while the medical sector accounted for two percent (2%).
Agriculture Sector
As detailed in a report by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Textile Management, the agricultural sector accounted for eight percent (8%) of total consumption of technical textiles in 2000 in volume terms, but only six percent (6%) in dollar value. Consumption is projected to nearly double in this decade (2000-2010) from almost 1.4 million tons to just under 2.0 million tons.
Agrotextiles are viewed as being one of the fastest growing and most important markets in the future. The growth in agrotextiles relates to an increase in population worldwide, including the demand for more and better quality foods in soil that is often compromised. As a result, varieties of agrotextile products have been developed for specific purposes such as energy efficiency, type of crop, land, forest or animal needs and geographic location.
Transportation Sector
According to research by David Rigby Associates, the transportation sector of the technical textile category represented the single-most valuable world market for technical textiles at $25.6 billion in 2000. It is one of the largest users of "engineered" nonwovens. Although only modest volume growth and even slower value growth are forecast in the longer term, Mobiltech will remain the most valuable application area and is predicted to reach $29.3 billion by 2010.
In a Fall 2004 International Nonwovens Journal article, William C. Smith noted that the average car uses over 33 square meters of textile fabric of all types for interiors alone – nonwovens represent just over ten percent (10%) of that with about 3.64 square meters per vehicle. Add the "working" fabrics under the hood – filtration, sound absorption and the like – and the usage is much greater.
“We are continually looking for ways to enhance the experience and engage new participants in Techtextil North America,” said Stephanie Everett, the show's manager. “TTNA 2009 promises to deliver a new mix of global decision makers and suppliers, more innovation and increased opportunities for all participants, and demonstrates Messe Frankfurt's continuing commitment to the growing technical textiles industry.”
