Functional fabrics, also called ''functional textiles,'' are materials that contain integrated elements for controlling or changing a given application. For example, some fabrics may wick moisture to keep the user cool or contain fibers that minimize odor. Functional textiles are textile materials produced with inbuilt functionalities to meet the end-use requirement apart from their basic purpose. Therefore, they have integrated functions of controlling or adjusting based on the intended application. The functional properties are incorporated in the material at different stages of production such as fiber, yarn fabric, or garment stage. Most of the functional materials used are chemical agents with the ability to control different functional properties such as antibacterial, ultraviolet (UV)-protecting, anticrease and fluorescent whitening agents, antimicrobial activity, water repellence, self-cleaning properties, and flame-retardant and UV-protecting properties.

As environmental awareness rises, the trend towards sustainable textiles has gained significant momentum. Manufacturers are increasingly adopting eco-friendly materials and processes in the production of functional fabrics. Innovations include the use of recycled fibers, biodegradable finishes, and low-impact dyeing techniques, which help reduce the environmental footprint of functional textiles. The integration of technology into textiles is another key trend. Smart fabrics embedded with sensors, conductive fibers, and even energy-harvesting capabilities are revolutionizing sectors like healthcare, military, and sports. These textiles can monitor vital signs, regulate body temperature, or even charge devices, opening new avenues for innovation. There is a growing interest in textiles that can adapt to the wearer’s needs. Temperature-regulating fabrics, for instance, can adjust to changing body temperatures, while fabrics with adjustable levels of moisture-wicking or breathability cater to individual comfort. This trend is driven by consumer demand for more personalized and performance-driven products. The global health crisis has increased the focus on hygiene and safety, especially in medical textiles. Functional fabrics with anti-microbial properties, such as those used in masks, hospital gowns, and bedding, are becoming increasingly essential. This trend is expected to continue as hospitals and healthcare institutions prioritize infection control. Functional fabrics are increasingly being incorporated into outdoor gear and sports apparel. Breathable, moisture-wicking, UV-protective, and water-resistant fabrics are key for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes. This market trend is being fueled by the increasing popularity of outdoor activities and sportswear as part of a healthy, active lifestyle. The demand for fabrics that offer a combination of multiple properties—such as water resistance, UV protection, and breathability—has led to the development of hybrid fabrics. These multi-functional textiles are being used across various sectors, from military uniforms to outdoor wear and work uniforms.
