The market for textiles making use of

nanotechnologies will reach US$13.6 billion

by 2007

Expand to US $115 billion by

2012

The value of nanomaterials supplied to the textile industry will reach US$8.6 billion by 2012

Nanotechnologies will provide incremental improvements to existing textile sectors, but offer the highest growth in the non-traditional sectors.
