"Future Fabrics and Technologies" - a glimpse into what's to come.

1. Energy Harvesting Yarns

Georgia Tech researchers have already developed energy-harvesting yarns that could be integrated into washable textiles. These yarns collect static electricity caused by friction. Researchers claim that this “supercharged” fabric should be able to harvest enough electricity to charge your phone. So don’t be surprised if your kid’s newest sweatshirt comes with a USB port. 

2. Haptic Feedback Sportswear

Did you know that the Nadi X yoga pant from Wearable X could help you perfect your yoga postures? This pricey pant features built-in accelerometers and vibrating motors woven into the fabric around the hips, knees, and ankles. They are programmed to guide you through your Yoga Aasanas through gentle vibrations.

By 2025, you could very well expect big sportswear brands to launch collections that will help you get better at the gym, soccer, or even ballet! 

Did you know that our range of Flexilastic ultra-stretchable yarns helps improve performance and comfort by up to 58%? Know more.

3. Clothes with sensors to collect Medical Data

Collecting medical data is no longer limited to wearables and medical device probes. Several brands have already begun marketing their innerwear and shirts with strategically placed ECG, respiration, and physical activity sensors. These garments can collect data for up to 75 hours and upload it to the cloud without frequent charging or making the wearers feel conscious. These products could play a huge role in monitoring the people on both sides of the spectrum - the health-conscious and the chronically ill. Guess hospitals now can finally retire those indecent patient gowns!

4. Fabrics that help you control your Phone 

Imagine having a jacket that lets you know when you get calls, messages, app notifications, and even allows you to drop pins on your favorite locations - all this without taking your phone out of the pocket. That is what the Levi’s Commuter Trucker Jacket promises to deliver. It comes with the Jacquard smart-tag developed by Google, woven right in. The tag allows users to control their phones with various gestures that could also be quickly reassigned. So no, that funny cyclist you saw this morning wasn’t slapping himself on the wrist. 

5. Communicative Coutures

While your current clothes might reflect your personality a little, the collections from CuteCircuit could help you make a statement - literally. Yes, the brand’s clothes and accessories have built-in electronics to display social media messages. Hmmm, so when do they get speakers?   

6. Sneakers made from discarded Plastic

According to National Geographic, we produce about 600 million tonnes of plastic every year. About 45% of this is for single-use purposes, and a whopping 91% of this category is not even recycled! When these plastic materials pollute the oceans, they break down into microplastics. And guess what? These microplastics have been found everywhere, from Mount Everest to the Mariana trench. Furthermore, these microplastics break down into microfibres that are being increasingly detected in Drinking Water Supply Systems. 

Popular brands like Adidas are now championing the cause of using ocean plastic and plastic bottles to make shoes and swimwear. And a million pairs of these shoes have been sold till now. 

We are playing our part to help the planet with Poly-Go-Round , our recycled polyester yarn made from used plastic bottles. Know more.

7. Self-Cleaning Clothes

Scientists have made further improvements on Antimicrobial Yarns by building metal nanostructures on cotton threads. When exposed to sunlight, these nanostructures self-clean surface-level grime in about 10 minutes. Hold on. This technology is still a work in progress. So don’t throw out your washing machine yet. 

While you are doing your laundry, please take a minute to know more about PuriFlex , our range of antimicrobial yarns for Denim, Sportswear, Hosiery, Home Textiles, Uniforms, Floor Carpets, and more.
