Indiens Sportmarkt im Aufschwung

In Indiens Mittelschicht wächst nicht nur das Einkommen, auch das Interesse an  Sport und das Bewusstsein für einen gesünderen Lebensstil nimmt zu. Sportarten wie Laufen, Radfahren oder Teamsportarten sind sehr beliebt und versprechen Potenziale für die Sportartikelindustrie. Ob Bekleidung oder Sportgeräte, die wachsende Anzahl an Konsumenten treiben deren Nachfrage nach oben. Experten gehen davon aus, dass mit den Marktveränderungen, Indiens Sportmarkt in den kommenden Jahren einen enormen Aufschwung erleben wird. Die indische Regierung unterstützt darüber hinaus diese Entwicklung und subventioniert zum Beispiel mit Projekten wie der staatlich initiierten „Fitness-Bewegung“ den Bau von Sportstätten. Private Initiativen wie India@75 fördern das Bewusstsein für Sport in der Bevölkerung und verfolgen das Ziel, Indien zum Medaillengold bei den Olympischen Spielen zu führen. Gut ausgebildete Trainer, hochwertiges Sportequipment und der Ausbau der Infrastruktur stehen dabei im Fokus.

Im Rahmen der Global Sports Business Show findet am 17. November in Mumbai die erste ISPO Academy in Indien statt. Der Fokus liegt 2017 auf den Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung auf die Textilindustrie.

Investitionschancen in Brasilien 

Wie der Olympische Geist die Begeisterung für Sport stärken kann, ist am Beispiel Brasiliens zu sehen. Der Anteil an sportlich Aktiven in der Bevölkerung ist nach den Spielen deutlich gewachsen. Neben Fußball sind Volleyball, Tischtennis, Schwimmen und Futsal die beliebtesten Sportarten. Vielversprechend ist derzeit der brasilianische Outdoor-Markt. Dieser setzt pro Jahr 300 Millionen US-Dollar um und wächst im Durchschnitt jährlich um 25 Prozent. Inzwischen werden zwei Millionen Outdoor-Sportler verzeichnet. Stark ist zudem die Textilindustrie: die Bekleidungshersteller exportieren 15 Prozent ihrer Produktion in andere südamerikanische Länder.

Die erste ISPO Academy in Brasilien findet als Teil des Sports Business Forums in São Paulo statt. Der inhaltliche Fokus der ISPO Academy liegt auf der Sport- und Textilindustrie und zeigt das Potential des brasilianischen Marktes auf.

Delivering naturally advanced innovations @ MunichFabricStart

TINTEX presents a new and fresh campaign with contemporary images that signal the launch of the Autumn Winter 2019 Jersey collections presented by CEO Mario Jorge, who describes the new ‘Naturally Advanced’ position as moving on from making beautiful organics and natural materials to the next level with advanced hybrid nature/hi-tech smarts, with added value creativity, thanks to focused investments that will serve and secure our customer demands both now and in the seasons to come.


THE COLLECTION. Come and see the autumn range of more than 80 new qualities and style and discuss your own tailor made needs designed to fit the Fashion, Sportswear, Athleisure and Underwear sectors. The TINTEX Collection uses at least 60% of more sustainable materials, such as Tencel, Organic cotton, Naturally organic linen, recycled and recovered smart materials including polyesters, nylons and now a new recycled stretch elastane too. Out of preference, and in keeping with its ethos of creating low impact fabrics, the major part of the collection eschews the use of animal based fibers, with the limited exception of some organic wool, silk and cashmere blend qualities.

Archroma offers coating, repellency & release, fire protection & color solutions at techtextil 2017. WHY? Because it´s our nature!

“These products reflect Archroma’s commitment to delivering responsible products and solutions, and underscore our key principle as a company that we continuously challenge the status quo in the deep belief that we can make our industry sustainable,” stated Miquel Vila, Head of Technical Service, Brand & Performance Textile Specialties, EMEA. At the booth, Archroma will highlight in particular the following solutions and innovations:


COLOR
Archroma will be displaying its Printofix TF high-performance pigment preparations for outdoor applications. These are mainly suited for synthetic fabrics that are specifically developed for sunshades, camping tents, umbrellas and industrial applications where other dyes cannot meet the very high requirements of light and weather fastness. Printofix TF pigment preparations are easy to handle and allow the creation of colors that can resist light, weather, ozone or heat.

FIRE PROTECTION
Archroma made a commitment back in 2011 to use only non-halogenated technologies for its global range of Pekoflam products. This range is ideally suited to help customers face today’s ecological challenges and fulfill ever stricter safety regulations, regardless of the application. The company’s non-halogenated portfolio includes select products that are assessed for compliance to labels such as GOTS or OEKO-TEX(1) Standard 100 and that are in line with today’s global requirements for industrial and consumer safety.


REPELLENCY & RELEASE
Archroma's innovative next-generation fluorochemical alternative is PFOA-free* C6 Nuva N supporting the switch away from long-chain fluorotelomer products that may contain PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid). These products provide long-lasting and excellent repellency and release effects, are easy to handle and non-sensitive regarding compatibility with other finishing chemicals. They allow covering the full spectrum of repellency and release needs in technical textile applications.

They also can be combined with finishing specialties, such as Pekoflam fire retardants, Nuva N and Smartrepel release and repellence solutions, and Sanitized(2) antimicrobial products. These products allow for more sustainable, tailor-made coating solutions for applications such as technical textiles, automotive, nonwoven, personal protective equipment and sportswear. With its diverse selection of advanced, sustainable and customizable solutions, Archroma is ideally positioned as the system supplier of choice for textile mills and nonwoven manufacturers. As Miquel Vila puts it: “Visit us at Techtextil to learn more about products that offer cutting-edge functionality while also being safer and more environmentally friendly. It's our nature!”

Swiss companies Schoeller and Textilcolor develop revolutionary polyester dyeing

An exciting new development, resulting from a Swiss collaboration between textile manufacturer Schoeller and auxiliaries and dyes specialists at Textilcolor. ecodye is a new auxiliary concept used, in particular, in polyester dyeing processes. The technology accelerates the dyeing process and contributes to cutting costs, while at the same time helping to preserve the environment with a low level of demand on resources.
Less time, less water, less energy – the new ecodye auxiliary concept allows eco-friendly and cost-saving dyeing processes for polyester yarns and piece goods. It shortens the heating phase, thus accelerating process time by more than 30 percent. At the same time, it reduces energy consumption by 20 percent and the water requirement by 25 percent, as the goods can be cleaned in the cooling dye bath.

In addition, ecodye improves the dyeing levelness in polyester textiles. Spots and dye agglomeration are almost completely avoided, and the precipitation on the goods that arises as a result of polyester oligomers are no longer evident. ecodye provides good shade stability and avoids reproduction problems from batch to batch, thus reducing the rate of double staining and increasing the capacity utilization and productivity of the dyeing mill on a long-term basis.


Following a successful launch phase, ecodye has already been able to provide numerous positive test results. The technology is being used by polyester-processing customers in categories including outdoor, sportswear and technical knitted fabrics, primarily in Europe, South and Middle America, Turkey, Bangladesh and China.
