4. CURRENT A FUTURE MARKET SCENARIO
Value-wise share of each segment in Indian technical textile market in US$
million (2009-10)
5. Buildtech segment comprises of textiles or
composite materials used in the construction of
permanent and temporary buildings as well as
structures like, architectural membranes, hoardings
and signages, tarpaulins, awnings, scaffolding nets,
etc.
Indian Buildtech market is estimated at US$ 547.1
million (2009-10), over 50% of which is contributed
by tarpaulins and around 40% by the floor and wall
coverings. Hoardings and signages account for 8%
share of the buildtech market
7. High-strength, high-modulus textile fabrics are increasingly
being used in the Building and construction industry as a
replacement for more traditional materials , Such as wood,
concrete, masonry and steel. The mechanical properties of
fabrics made With aramid carbon and glass fibres , combined
with cross-linking resin systems to form a Composite, provide
civil engineers with a range of new materials that offer high
strength to weight, High stiffness to weight, and extreme
flexibility in design and used.
Fabrics for sun protection made of polyester and combined
with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Or polytetrafluroethylene
(PTFE) coatings offer many applications and provide function
combined With design to modern architecture, where flexible
roofs and wall coverings are a feature.
