| Abstract | ||||
| The traditional concept of the term “Textiles” is no longer similar to the currently international concept related to that field. This traditional concept that used in Arab countries depends only on normal textiles and garment. But, the currently international concept has extended to contain a lot of other functional applications because of modern technologies that has been used in that field. The modern concept named “Technical Textiles”. Textile industry in the Arab region has connected with the traditional concept of textiles. Therefore, this industry is limited to garment and normal textiles only. This in turn led to the decline and lack of employment opportunities and the weakness of investment opportunities in that area. The study discussed several developmental prospects that depend on modern applications of technical textiles in several fields such as medicine, engineering, industry, environment, agriculture, protection, sport and so many other fields. The study cleared also the status of international market of technical textiles, that showed that technical textiles are reported to be the fastest growing sector of the textile industrial Sector. What is relatively new is a growing recognition of the economic and strategic potential of such textiles to the fibre and fabric manufacturing and processing industries of industrial and developing countries alike. Finally, the study showed the processes that help to transfer the technical textiles concept to Arab countries, and the role of this new concept in developing and improving the commercial and economical status in that region | ||||
