The document discusses various types of technical textiles and their uses in different industries. It defines technical textiles as textile materials manufactured for their functional properties rather than aesthetics. It then describes different types of technical textiles - Agrotech, Buildtech, Clothtech, Geotech, Hometech, Indutech, Meditech and Mobiltech. For each type, it provides examples of applications and market size in India. Geotech and medical textiles have the largest market share in India. The document emphasizes that technical textiles are chosen for their performance over aesthetics.
