Description

Nobody has a crystal ball. Changes supersede each other rapidly. This is bringing the concept of ‘strategic planning’ nearer in time. In most cases looking 2-3 years ahead is the standard and scenarios are defined and evaluated in a wider spectrum.

This book is derived from the Roadmap Textile Service 2030 project of FTN (the Dutch Textile Service Association). FTN commissioned a project in 2011 to describe the market conditions in 2030. The main objective of this project was to identify an innovation program and research projects to modernize the textile care industry and prepare for market demand in the future. This book describes the expected market demand and necessary technological changes needed to respond to this market demand. The “App Store Textile Service 80% reduction of energy consumption” research program was launched in the Netherlands in November 2011 and will be launched in Europe at Texcare Frankfurt.

100 project idea’s The “App Store Textile Service 2030” study developed a future plan for textile services including innovations in the fields of textile materials, new and targeted functionalization and care techniques, information and communication technology and logistics. These tasks are grouped into 16 innovational topics. These cover some 100 project ideas for (inter)national prospects for the short, medium and longer term. These were supported by FTN-members with a letter of intent for a total value of almost 9 million euro for the next 5 years. Experts who are part of the project estimated that the implementation of the new research program can realize a reduce of energy consumption of 80% .

In 2016-2017 this study has been re-evaluated in a smaller but similar setup. It has been a challenge to correctly design a PTC roadmap from 2010 to 2030, this re-evaluation study is enclosed with the book as well.

SUMMARY OF THE ENCLOSURE:

The past 6 years the speed of change has accelerated. Digitisation of society and the ‘platform era’ emerged from nothing at fast pace. Start-ups such as Airbnb, Über and Alibaba were inconsequential. Snapchat didn’t exist, WhatsApp was hardly used and Tesla’s weren’t seen on the road yet. Self-driving cars were a fantasy concept and ‘crowdfunding’ was an unknown term. Technology soars, drones… they did exist, but chances are you had never seen one!

In the Roadmap 2030 the vision on services and organisation within the professional textile care industry is formulated, focusing on the most important market segments: Healthcare, Trade & Industry, and Hospitality & Recreation.
