Technical textiles that are used in this automotive or transport sector are called “MOBILTECH.” The latest developments in aircraft, shipbuilding as well as motor vehicle and train manufacture, all can be largely attributed to MOBILTECH, a non-apparel textile.

Mobiltech today covers not only isolation and safety aspect but also focuses on comfort and style. The customers look for aesthetically pleasing interiors, great comfort and fuel economy. Textile components in automobiles consist of either visible components like upholstery, carpets, seat belts, headliners etc. or concealed components like tyre cords, hoses, belts, airbags etc.

The increasing disposable income levels and rising living standards in emerging economies such as China and India has an immense contribution toward the development of the modern market. In addition, these countries along with growing Middle East market has created new avenues for major manufacturers.
