Electronic Textiles (e-textiles) are fabrics that feature electronics and interconnections woven into them, presenting physical flexibility and typical size that cannot be achieved with other existing electronic manufacturing techniques. E-textiles, refers to fabrics that can function electrically as electronics and behave physically as textiles Electronic-textile research is closely related to wearable computing research, but in many ways its own distinct field. Wearable computing explores technologies that are portable and attached to or carried on the body, but e-textile research has a slightly different focus: investigating electronic and computational technology that is imbedded into textiles. E-textile researchers strive to build devices that are as soft, flexible and comfortable as traditional cloth artifacts.image002CAGR projections from 2016-2026 for key e-textiles markets. Using Sensors provide a nervous system to detect signals, thus in a passive smart material, the existence of sensors is essential and wireless option gives the ultimate availability to measure information or to send data instantly. All over the world there is a large field to work with and characterizes key market sectors including 'Sports & Fitness', 'Medical & Healthcare', 'Wellness', 'Home & Lifestyle', 'Industrial, commercial, military', 'Fashion' and 'Others' (including automotive) giving more opportunities
