Abstract
Consumers and technology are guiding the developments of textile/apparel firms for the next millennium. By the year 2050, the world population will have almost doubled to 11 billion. The industry will have to satisfy this increasing demand in a fast-pace global com-puterized environment. Technological development will focus on real time information flow, new faster and flexible processes, and mass customization systems integrating the consumer in the pre-production creativity and design phase.
