According to 6Wresearch, South Africa Conductive Yarn Market size is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 12.4% during 2024-2030. The growing demand for smart textiles due to increasing disposable income, changing lifestyles, and rising awareness about health and fitness, has led to an increase in demand for conductive yarn in the country. Conductive yarn manufacturers are able to produce more efficient and durable products due to advancements in technology. This has resulted in higher adoption of conductive yarn in various industries, including healthcare, military, and aerospace.
The development of new materials and production techniques has also expanded the potential applications of conductive yarn. The government initiatives have created a favourable environment for conductive yarn manufacturers and have led to an increase in investments in the sector. Further, the conductive yarn is a relatively new technology in South Africa, and the production process is complex and costly. This makes it difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the market. There is a lack of awareness about conductive yarn among consumers in South Africa. Conductive yarn faces competition from other advanced technologies such as printed electronics and wearable sensors. These technologies offer similar functionalities and are often considered more cost-effective.
One of the prominent players in the conductive yarn market in South Africa is Amann & Söhne GmbH & Co. KG, a German company that specializes in sewing and embroidery threads. The player offers a variety of conductive yarn products for various applications such as smart textiles, automotive electronics, and medical devices. Textronics Inc., a leading provider of smart textile solutions, is also a significant player in the South African market. The company offers conductive yarns and fabrics that enable the integration of electronic components into clothing and other textile products. Other key players in the industry include Swicofil AG, Chargeurs Wool (Pty) Limited, and Statex Produktions & Vertriebs GmbH.
The conductive yarn industry in South Africa is subject to government initiatives aimed at promoting technological innovation and job creation. The Department of Science and Innovation, through its Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), has been supporting research and development in the field of smart textiles. In 2019, TIA launched the Advanced Textiles and Smart Materials (ATSM) project, which aims to develop smart textile solutions for various industries, including healthcare, defense, and sports. The government has also introduced initiatives such as the Technology Innovation Program (TIP) and the Seed Fund Program to support startups and small businesses in the conductive yarn industry.
The South African conductive yarn market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years. The increasing demand for smart textiles and wearable technology, along with the government's focus on promoting innovation and sustainability, are driving the growth of the market. With advancements in technology and materials, there is a growing trend towards the use of conductive yarns in various industries such as healthcare, automotive, and sports. The market is also expected to benefit from the growing awareness about the benefits of using conductive yarns, such as improved comfort and performance. With the increasing demand for electronic products and devices, telecommunications, and defence equipment, the future looks bright for the conductive yarn industry in South Africa.
According to Ravi Bhandari, Research Head, 6Wresearch, the Metallic Type segment is experiencing growth in the market. These types of conductive yarn are widely used in various industries such as electronics, aerospace, and sports equipment due to their high conductivity and durability. The demand for metallic-type conductive yarn is increasing in South Africa due to the growing use of electronic devices, the rising demand for lightweight and flexible materials in various applications and advancements in technology.
In terms of application, the Anti-Static Fabric segment dominates the market. Anti-static fabric is widely used in industries such as electronics, healthcare, and textile manufacturing to prevent static electricity buildup that can damage sensitive equipment or cause harm to workers.
