Abstract: As people’s desire for a healthy and comfortable life grows, functional textiles evolve constantly due to advancements in science and technology. Functional knitted products have gradually become one of the development hotspots. In this context, the paper first analyzes the development of technology for functional knitted products, including functional raw materials, knitting techniques, and functional finishing.Then, the paper exemplifies the current status of functional knitted products in moisture absorption and perspiration, antibacterial, ultraviolet protection, waterproofing, and electromag-netic shielding. Finally, the market status of such products is analyzed and the future development trend is predicted. Func-tional knitted products have a wide range of varieties and applications. Although the development of technology is not yet mature, with the continuous innovation and advancement of textile technology, future functional knitted products will con-tinue to evolve in an intelligent, diverse, and environmentally friendly way.
