13. Macro Trends: The next decades will see materials with different tensile, thermal and optical properties, integration of IT into fabrics, and linkage of our bodies to the network for medical and communication purposes, via clothing or skin-wearables. Smart fabrics will expand the qualities and characteristics of clothing, for instance, anti-odour properties can be added to fabric. Globalization has led to outsourcing, particularly in the textile industry. Companies are increasingly managing global supply chains, making them sensitive to international politics and natural events, like weather patterns and disasters. EMERGING TRENDS
