Abstract
Industry 4.0 is a phenomenon that describes technological advancement in all sectors to bring the best business practices and to create a sustainable society. Textile sector which remained at the forefront in the past three industrial revolutions is lacking its spot in the fourth industrial revolution, making it difficult to sustain in the competitive environment. The sector can realize the benefits of Industry 4.0 by following a systematic strategy to implement it. To follow a systematic strategy, it is important to have the necessary background knowledge and ongoing trends in the field. For this purpose, we reviewed and analyzed the current literature to know the status of Industry 4.0 in Textile sector. This review mainly focused on three categories: the type of research, focused technology in Industry 4.0, and focused dimensions (i.e., applications, influencing factors, and opportunities). This review will prepare researchers to conduct the research in the field and will suggest solutions to implement Industry 4.0 in textile sector
