Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Apparel and Leather Products Manufacturing Market Global Briefing 2017" report to their offering.

The Apparel and Leather Products Manufacturing Market Global Briefing provides strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global apparel and leather products manufacturing market.

The apparel and leather and allied products market comprises establishments involved in the manufacture and sale of apparel, leather and related products.

Asia was the largest region in the apparel and leather manufacturing market in 2016, accounting for 36% market share. This is due to high demand for ready to wear apparels from countries such as China and India, which also has large population base. The Americas was the second largest region accounting for 33% market share. Europe was the third largest region accounting for 25% market share.

Technological advances in material sciences and nano technology is stimulating the demand for smart fabrics. Smart fabrics have digital components such as sensors embedded in the fabric. They have the ability to interact with the individual and their environment, by tracking and communicating data about the individual and environment to other devices through sensors and conductive yarns. They are widely used in fashion, entertainment, medical, transportation, sports and fitness and military. For instance, Ralph Lauren in 2014 launched technology enabled tennis shirts that monitored hear rate, breathing and stress levels among players.
