High-value-added products such as technical textiles are increasingly in demand in global markets. In the last decade, many countries have transformed their production processes towards producing these products, aiming to become more competitive in the international arena in terms of economy. This study aims to reveal the current situation of the textile industry and its transition to higher value-added technical textiles in Türkiye, particularly in Bursa, as one of the textile hubs. Current global trade volumes of products, import-export data, and Türkiye's position in this sector are analyzed. Additionally, technology and market trends for technical textile products are discussed. The number of global exports in technical textiles increased to approximately 118 billion dollars, increasing by 3.38% compared to the previous year. Türkiye's exports in 2021 were realized as 2,413 billion dollars, a decrease of -12.91% compared to the previous year. Calculating the Grubel-Lloyd Index in Türkiye's technical textile product groups revealed that the intra-industry trade is two-way, except for a few product groups. The average index value for all technical textile products was calculated as 0.7968. Technical textiles are classified into 12 subcategories according to their application areas. It is anticipated that by 2028, the most significant trade items will be in the Mobiltech, Indutech, and Packtech subcategories of technical textiles.
