As outlined by the Ministry of Textiles on India’s National Technical Textiles Mission portal in the article “Technical Textiles products are divided into 12 broad categories,” technical textiles span a wide array of industries and applications. These high-performance fabrics are engineered for functionality rather than aesthetics and play a crucial role in agriculture, construction, defense, medical care, and more.

Technical textiles are divided into 12 sectors, each with a specific role. Agrotech aids agriculture with UV-resistant, biodegradable fabrics. Buildtech reinforces construction through insulation and durability. Clothtech supports apparel manufacturing under extreme conditions. Geotech strengthens infrastructure with filtration and soil separation. Hometech enhances home goods like carpets and blinds. Indutech serves industrial uses such as filtration and gaskets. Mobiltech powers transport with materials for airbags and aircraft. Meditech covers medical and hygiene products. Protech offers protective gear like firefighter suits. Sportstech improves athletic gear, and Oekotech supports environmental protection. Together, these sectors show the wide impact of technical textiles.
