Mobiltech — Transport Technical Textiles
category
Mobiltech encompasses technical textiles engineered for automotive, aerospace, marine, rail, and other transportation applications including seat fabrics, airbags, tyre cord, belting, filtration, acoustic insulation, composites, and safety systems. Products are manufactured from polyester (PET), nylon (PA6, PA66), aramid (Kevlar, Twaron), carbon fibre, glass fibre, PP, and specialty fibres using weaving, knitting, nonwoven, braiding, and coating processes. Global mobiltech market is valued at $28.4 billion (2024), projected to reach $46.2 billion by 2030 at 8.5% CAGR, driven by electric vehicle lightweighting, aircraft production growth, autonomous vehicle interiors, and tightening safety and emissions regulations. Automotive accounts for 65% of mobiltech consumption, followed by aerospace (18%), marine (8%), and rail (9%).
Role
Delivers engineered textile solutions that are safety-critical, performance-defining, and structurally integral to every major transport mode — from airbags saving 30,000 lives annually to carbon fibre composites reducing aircraft weight by 20% — bridging advanced fibre science with transportation engineering to meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and sustainability.
