Technical textiles make up for 25% of the textile market in transportation. Indian automotive sector, which is growing at a rate of 20% a year, has stimulated strong growth for the domestic textiles sector. Transportation is the largest user of technical textiles. Textiles provide a means of decoration and a warm soft touch to surfaces that are necessary features for human well being and comfort, but textiles are also essential components of the more functional parts of all road vehicles, trains, aircraft and sea vessels. In automobiles, an average 11-18 kg of textiles is used. The majority of these textiles are manufactured on account of the excellent properties inherent to polyester such as UV resistance, abrasion and tear resistance. As transportation volumes increase, the environmental issues are likely to be addressed with more efficient and lighter aircraft, trains, road vehicles and sea vessels.
