E-textile health monitoring refers to advanced fabrics integrated with electronic sensors designed to detect and measure physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiration, and body temperature. These smart textiles enable continuous, real-time health tracking while offering flexibility, comfort, and the ability to support remote medical assessments.
The primary product types of e-textile health monitoring include wearable e-textiles, implantable e-textiles, and others. Wearable e-textiles are garments or fabrics embedded with sensors and electronic components that facilitate real-time monitoring, tracking, and interaction with physiological, biomechanical, or environmental data. They incorporate technologies such as sensor integration, wireless communication, and conductive materials. The key materials used include conductive yarns, conductive fabrics, sensors, and other components. E-textile health monitoring systems are utilized in various applications, including cardiac, respiratory, activity, and temperature monitoring, and are employed by end-users such as hospitals and clinics, homecare settings, sports and fitness sectors, military and defense organizations, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers' margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
The e-textile health monitoring market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides e-textile health monitoring market statistics, including e-textile health monitoring industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an e-textile health monitoring market share, detailed e-textile health monitoring market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the e-textile health monitoring industry. This e-textile health monitoring market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The e-textile health monitoring market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $2.81 billion in 2024 to $3.59 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.9%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising adoption of wearable healthcare devices, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, growing demand for continuous health monitoring, heightened awareness of remote patient care, and expanding investments in smart textile technologies.
The e-textile health monitoring market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.50 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.5%. Growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by the increasing use of wireless communication technologies in e-textiles, a greater focus on elderly and homecare monitoring, rising demand for real-time vital signs tracking, growing need for remote patient monitoring solutions, and ongoing innovations in conductive and flexible materials. Major trends anticipated during this period include the integration of AI and machine learning into e-textile devices, advancements in flexible and stretchable sensors, enhanced connectivity through wireless communication and cloud platforms, progress in energy harvesting and battery-free textile technologies, and the incorporation of multi-parameter monitoring systems.
The growing adoption of remote patient monitoring solutions is expected to drive the growth of the e-textile health monitoring market in the coming years. Remote patient monitoring refers to technologies that allow healthcare providers to collect and evaluate patients' health data remotely using connected devices and digital platforms. The increasing use of remote monitoring solutions is primarily driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, as these technologies enable continuous tracking of vital signs and early identification of health issues, leading to timely medical interventions and a reduction in hospital readmissions. E-textile health monitoring supports remote patient monitoring by integrating sensors into fabrics that measure physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiration, and body temperature in real time, allowing continuous and comfortable tracking of patients. For instance, in August 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported that nearly one million enrollees received remote patient monitoring in 2024, reflecting a 27% increase from 2023. Therefore, the growing demand for remote patient monitoring solutions is contributing to the expansion of the e-textile health monitoring market.
The increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders is expected to propel the growth of the e-textile health monitoring market going forward. Respiratory disorders are conditions that impair normal lung and airway function, making breathing and oxygen exchange more difficult. This rise is mainly due to increasing air pollution, which damages lung tissue and leads to conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other respiratory illnesses. E-textile health monitoring assists in managing respiratory disorders by continuously tracking breathing patterns, allowing early detection of irregularities and enabling timely medical responses to prevent complications. For instance, in October 2024, the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) reported that 8.2 million people were newly diagnosed with tuberculosis in 2023, up from 7.5 million cases in 2022. Therefore, the increasing incidence of respiratory disorders is supporting the growth of the e-textile health monitoring market.
In November 2024, Myant Corp., a Canada-based technology company, acquired Nanoleq AG for an undisclosed amount.
