The Canadian textile industry has lost much of its competitiveness since the global elimination of quotas at the end of 2004, particularly in mass markets. In a bid to revive the industry, Canadian technical textile producers are being encouraged to focus on specialised materials such as technical textiles and other value-added textiles (OVATs). This report provides an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT), as well as profiles of selected leading technical textile companies in Canada.
