The usage of technical textile materials in the industries around the world has been growing rapidly. In many developed countries like USA and Japan, technical textiles account for over 35% of the textile industry output. For developing countries, such as China, the share is well over 19%, but in India, it is only 5%. The fastest growth prospects appear to lie with entirely new markets such as India and other newly-emerged Asian economies. 

First, India has to explore more applications of domestic industrial textiles market. The objective must be to leverage the central government's policy of expanding infrastructure to support the domestic development of industrial textiles. Secondly, India must encourage proprietary innovation. The aim is to develop advanced fibres for mass production and diversified applications. The development of advanced fibres and composite materials such as high-performance carbon fibres, aramid fibres, polyphenylene sulfide, advanced polyethylene, basalt fibres, polyamide and new polyester should be seriously undertaken and encouraged. Other product innovation can centre around new fibres generated by farm crop waste and bamboo; textiles made of degradable and renewable fibres; and biological cellulose fibres. Next comes the industry and the Government's role in promoting proprietary development of textile machinery and equipment for the manufacture of industrial textiles. One more area of concern is establishing various systems of standardisation. The ultimate aim is to formulate industrial and technical standards for carbon fibres, high-performance fibres, eco-friendly textiles, functional textiles and relevant equipment. Standards in the use of speciality textiles for such sectors as aviation, aerospace, water control, agriculture, transportation, construction, new energy, environmental protection and medical care should be formulated or updated. Updates in the standards of product testing for export and inspection systems are also needed. Last but not the least is that the internal corporate management should also be improved to ensure a good practice in corporate governance, quality management and production safety to give a boost to technical textiles.
