Why performance apparel? |
|
Performance apparel represents one of
the fastest growing sectors of the international
textile and clothing industry. Market growth is
being fuelled by the emergence of new fibres, new
fabrics and innovative process technologies.
The market is also being boosted by
changes in consumer lifestyles. People are living
longer and spending more time on leisure activities.
New high-tech fabrics are being developed for a wide
range of active sports such as aerobics, athletics,
running, cycling, hiking, mountaineering, swimming,
sailing, windsurfing, ballooning, parachuting,
snowboarding, and ski-ing.
Exciting innovations are emerging in
fire retardant materials and those which protect
against extreme temperatures. Added to that is the
growing market for corporatewear
which, in some
cases, is becoming increasingly fashion-oriented.
And, increasingly, high-tech fabrics
and apparel designed for high performance wear are
crossing over the boundary into everyday fashion. |
