ReportBuyer.com, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report analysing the market for military clothing.

The publictaion Profile of TenCate: a supplier of high-tech fabrics for military wear reports that the demand for military clothing, body armour and other military equipment has risen sharply.

The report shows that the rise is because of the  need to protect soldiers in conflicts arising from the  so-called war on terror – especially in Afghanistan and Iraq – and has greatly benefited a number of fibre, textile and clothing manufacturers in the Western  world.

Authors of the report note that the ever present threat of terrorism has raised concerns about the vulnerability of military forces in general, and troops in war zones in particular. Governments  around the world have sharpened their focus on military preparedness – including  how best to clothe and equip their countries’ soldiers. They have invested heavily  in the development of military uniforms which improve a soldier’s performance and comfort and offer the potential to save lives during combat.

They further note that as a result, developments in military clothing are being made today at a faster pace than at any time in history. New battledress concepts which harness nanotechnology  and other advanced technologies have been devised with a view to helping the  performance of soldiers on the battlefield by improving their ballistic protection,  reducing the weight they carry, optimising their camouflage and amplifying their  physical strength.

The report notes that developments in military clothing have been driven mainly by changes in the ways  in which wars are fought. Because modern warfare is more likely to take place  in congested urban streets than on battlefields, today’s military clothing has  an appearance and performance characteristics which contrast sharply with those  of uniforms worn by soldiers fighting in the trenches during the First World  War.
