A sewing machine is a piece of electrical equipment, comprising a mechanically driven needle used to stitch different types of cloth.
Sewing machines were first deployed during the Industrial Revolution to reduce the amount of work in cloth-producing companies.
Rising demand for technical textiles production globally has emerged as the key growth driver for the sewing machine market.
Technical textiles refer to functional fabrics, which have both natural and synthetic fibers such as Nomex, Saran, Vinyon, and Spandex.
The demand for technical textiles has increased due to product characteristics such as high strength, superior insulation, and high thermal resistance.
Sewing machines have also been increasingly deployed in various industries such as aerospace and automotive industries in the production of different products such as car body belts, aircraft webbings, insulation felt, automobile carpets, and helmets.
Increasing integration of automation technologies in sewing machines is expected to positively impact the overall sewing machines market.

Integration of Advanced Technologies In Sewing Machines Could Help Fuel Product Demand in Future
Also, manufacturers could look to integrate different types of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and Internet of Things, which could help produce improved quality sewing machines that can be deployed in an extensive range of applications in industries.
Most sewing machines are affordable and this feature of them makes it easy for cloth manufacturers to purchase machines in bulk, thereby helping in the growth of the overall sewing machine market.
Sewing machines are easy to use and help manufacturers save time on training employees at production units, on how to operate these machines.
Sewing machines can be used to decorate an extensive range of products and help anyone showcase their creative side, by allowing them to develop different types of designs.
The stitches obtained using sewing machines have been found to be less severe than other pieces of equipment. Most sewing machines deploy two strands of thread simultaneously. On proper execution, the stitches obtained are stronger and have higher resistance.
As a result, due to this product feature, the demand for sewing machines is expected to pick up in future, thereby propelling the overall sewing machine market.
Government initiatives and measures, promoting the benefits of using sewing machines to manufacture different cloths are expected to have a positive effect on the global sewing machine market.
Some of the commonly-used sewing machines include cylinder-bed sewing machines, flat-bed sewing machines, long-arm sewing machines, and post-bed sewing machines.
COVID-19 Pandemic Dents Growth in the Global Sewing Machine Market
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth in the overall sewing machine market.
With manufacturing facilities forced to shut down temporarily or permanently owing to lockdowns and social distancing regulations imposed by governments in a bid to contain the spread of the virus, the sewing machine demand witnessed a steep decline. This impacted the growth in the overall sewing machine market.
While sewing machines have been extensively deployed in an extensive range of applications, they have their disadvantages, too, which could negatively impact product demand.
Sewing machines are affordable, but on the downside, incur significant maintenance costs. As a result, it becomes vital for consumers to keep the equipment in excellent working condition for long time periods.
