In The 2016, Smart Wear Can Add Value To Clothing.

With the continuous development of science and technology, the clothing industry has also come to the concept of intelligent wear. In the coming 2016, intelligent clothing can increase the value of clothing.

The word "wearable" is becoming outdated. Now, as long as wearable technology is mentioned, it will be described in more streamlined buzzwords.

Bracelet, smart watch, smart ring and so on.

According to industrial analysis, in the near future, wearable will be directly described as "clothing".

Facts and data

According to the MarketResearch.com survey, 26 million smart garments are expected to be shipped in 2016.

More and more companies are beginning to produce smart clothing, technology has become more stable, no longer easy to failure, people also pay more attention to technology content year by year; all factors have contributed to the growth of market share.

However, the biggest reason may lie in the willingness of consumers to wear watches, because not everyone likes to wear watches or bracelets, but everyone wears clothes, which is the trend of clothing manufacturers and technology companies.

The clothing industry produces 19 billion garments a year, 150 times the output of mobile phones, and of course it becomes the future goal pursued by many manufacturers.

Smart sportswear

market size

At present, the sports industry is the main body of intelligent clothing productivity, and many intelligent technologies used in clothing are wearable fitness equipment.

Fashion companies are also beginning to try to enter the market. For example, Ralph Lauren's smart tennis shirt and Tommy Hilfiger launched solar jackets, but this year we need to rely on innovative fabrics and sensors to accelerate development.

Smart fabric: Project Jacquard

In June 2015, two new projects, Project Soli and Project Jacquard, were announced to redesign touch gestures and develop smart textiles.

The Soli project wants to apply touch screens, clicks and slides to other things that we use to control cell phones.

For this reason, Google has developed some small radar sensors that will respond to hand movements.

For Project Jacquard, Google developed conductive yarns to make woven fabrics responsive to touch and gesture possible.

According to Google's introduction, sensor grids can also be woven into fabrics to create large interactive interfaces.

Smart clothing

In 2016 CES exhibition, Samsung smart clothing attracted much attention.

Samsung's smart suit sends "do not disturb" messages to your colleagues when they are wearing no space.

The Samsung smart belt can identify individual waistlines and record the number of steps per day.

If the wearer gets the calories per day, he sends the message to the user.

Digitsole smart shoes can record shoes wear, automatically close to the wearer's ankles, for heating and other functions.

Manufacturers and designers want to integrate smart clothing into the design series. First, determine which functions can add value to clothing.

For those without a technical team, finding the strategic partner with a technical team is the best choice. This is the simplest way to produce sensors, fabrics, and other software.
