  2. World’s Leading Industries

  3. Alice In Wonderland By Lewis Carroll Thru The Looking Glass – What Alice Found ? From Dream to Reality In Textile Reflection/Reversal Novel Perspectives Satire Declining Profits Dreaming Innovation Alienation Uncertainty Adulthood Maturing Industry Moral Choice and Social Etiquette Globalization

  4. Where do we stand globally? • Middle East in Turmoil • Oil price volatility • World-wide financial imbalances • Recession in US and Europe • Energy and water costs on the increase • Sustainability & Environmental Awareness • China becoming important economic player • Strained East - West Relations

  5. Some More Points to Consider - Globally • Slower textile consumption internationally • Less than 2% growth forecasted through 2020 • U.S. apparel market growth at just 1% • China & India will become dominant suppliers through 2010 • Africa and certain Asian and Subcontinent countries will gain in importance • Significant price deflation due to current economic meltdown and overcapacity

  6. Current Textile Malaise We have made the whole smaller than the sum of its parts.

  7. World Fiber Consumption 53.7 MT 63.7 MT 76.5 MT 98.7 MT 15 MT 22 MT 30 MT 40 MT Others Cellulose Cotton Polyester Incremental annual fibre demand in KT 700 800 1000 1400 2000 2500 2200 Source: PCI Polyester has flexibility to cater to incremental demand

  8. Energy Consumption from Fossil Sources

  9. Reshaping the Textile and apparel industriesFrom Past to Future • Cost oriented approach – by relocating product sourcing to low cost regions but trying to be faster, • Innovation oriented approach – by enhancing efforts in innovation based on technology, branding, quality and product diversification by reinventing to high knowledge content products with reduced labor intensive repetitive tasks, • Productivity oriented approach – by increasing productivity based on technology

  10. Future Directions • “Intelligent” adaptive textiles • controlled comfort , antimicrobial activity, self cleaning potential • “Intelligent” knowledge based technical textiles • locally compressive behavior and complex actions e.g. comfort type mattresses for disabled persons, intelligent car seats • Hybrid multifunctional textiles for protective clothing • improved protection (a barrier against the selected types of radiation and particles) with improved comfort

  11. Advanced Production Technology

  12. AdvancedMaterials

  13. Effects of size

  14. Sustainability- Bioprocessing

  15. Conclusions • The only constant for Textiles is Change • Reshaping textile industry strategy depends on cost, innovation and productivity • Reorientation for new growth opportunities is determined by technology (product & process), new material development and creating new business models

  16. The Textile Challenge Together we can make the whole largerthan the sum of its parts
