Abstract

The textile industry has undergone significant changes due to the advancements in digital technology. This mini review aims to examine the impact of digitalization on the textile industry, including product design and development, production, and distribution. In product design and development, the integration of computer-aided design (CAD) software has enabled designers to create more accurate and detailed designs, simulate the behavior of fabrics and garments, and collaborate more effectively with other team members. Digitalization has also made it possible to store and access design data and information more easily. In production, the use of digital tools has led to a more streamlined and efficient process, reducing the need for physical prototypes and enabling faster decision-making. In distribution, online retail platforms and e-commerce websites have allowed manufacturers to reach a wider audience and sell their products directly to consumers, resulting in increased competition and a more efficient distribution process.
