The Traditional Textile Sector in Israel x
There is a solid core of traditional textile industries in Israel, functioning in
an inherently small market, with fierce international competition, and which
have gone through multiple economic crises along the years. These
industries characterized by being: x
• Diverse in areas of expertise within the textile manufacturing fields,
including: fiber and yarn manufacturing, nonwoven, apparel
manufacturing – knitting, weaving, coating and fabric treatment, and
technical textiles – such as weft knitting

Traditional Textile Sector – characteristicsx
• Multiple manufacturing facilities distributed globally
• Innovation and R&D centers located in Israel
• Emphasis on export and collaboration with prominent global players
(MNE’s)
• Generally with a readiness to distinguish themselves based on advanced
technology, materials or design

Some Facts and Figures about the Israeli Textile Industry:
• Total yearly sales 1.9 Billion $
• Total exports in 2014 of textile garment and accessories: 800
million $
• ~100 manufacturers are members in the Fashion & Textile
Association

Exports of apparel merchandise, Rate of Change, quarter-on-quarter 2008-2013 (seasonally adjusted, US$ terms)

When examined more closely:
Exports of apparel merchandise accounts for only 15% of the industry’s
revenue (2011); The majority of apparel manufacturing is for the
domestic market
65% of revenues from the industry are derived from 42 factories
classified as export-intensive industries (exports account for more than
50% of revenues or exports exceed NIS 10m and account for at least
25% of revenue)
This proportion indicates the particular difficulty that the industry is
facing in competing with overseas production

Nonwoven industryx
The largest sub-sector, with large volume manufacturing facilitates in Israel.
is the Nonwoven industry:
• Estimated direct sales of 500 Million $
• 70% is manufactured for export
• Collaborating with GME’s such as:

To distinguish themselves traditional textile companies put an
emphasis on innovation, and focus on developing premium products
and services

Local ecosystem contributing to innovation
x
• Israel’s start-up ecosystem – looking for implementation and application
fields, sometimes find it in textiles
• Advanced scientific activity in areas of medical sciences, material
sciences, Nano technology which sometimes overlaps with textiles
• Strong local industries such as: plastics, printing, agriculture and Nano
technology & composite materials

The intersections between the textiles industry and high-techx
Some potential intersections begin to emerge, which would not necessarily
be categorized under “smart fabrics” such as:
• Software for fabric/garment simulation
• AR/VR technologies
• Material innovation – especially Nano technology and composites
