The textile industry has been undergoing a structural crisis for more than 30 years and has some difficulties in finding a level of suitable growth. The sector's potential of growth is important because of the emergence of new outlets thanks to smart textiles and the increasing trend of Quantified Self.
Raising the subject of smart textiles does not imply to limit oneself only to the textile industry. Quite the opposite, these new clothes are at the intersection of multiple disciplines such as electronics, chemistry or computing. So, technological advances are the foundations of these new offers even if they are still facing numerous problems of acceptability and technical stakes connected with their lack of maturity. Smart textiles approach various markets and target specific consumers today.
