Textile Dyes - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics

The global market for Textile Dyes is forecast to reach US$ 9.5 billion by 2024, driven by the growing demand for organic dyes and pigments against the backdrop of strong preference for sustainable textiles and clothing and the ensuing replacement of dyes with pigments. The increase in environmental pollution caused by the use of toxic substances such as lead, arsenic, and heavy metals in dyes, colorants and pigments has brought textile manufacturing under the yoke of stringent regulations.

Biodegradable, nontoxic and natural dyes are therefore expected to witness strong demand. Organic pigment colors, in this regard, are poised to witness robust gains supported by the growing popularity of bright aesthetics and the comeback of neon and fluorescent colors in the fashion industry; rising voluntary environmental stewardship among consumers; demand for organic pigments on cotton and cellulosic fiber; continuous development in organic pigment chemistry; lower carbon footprint as compared to synthetic pigments derived from coal tars and petrochemicals; premium pricing benefits enjoyed by organic clothing and the ensuing increased investments in eco-friendly pigment printing processes.

Other major factors influencing growth in the textile dyes market include the enduring importance of color in fashion as “color messages” flashed by clothing remain vitally important in expressing emotions and personality traits; innovations in textile chemistry that help prevent soiling and dye transfer; regulatory restrictions induced rise in interest in plant based dyes sourced from roots, berries, bark, leaves and wood; growing popularity of waterless dyeing technology supported by the launch of industrial dyeing machines that utilize carbon dioxide (CO2) as a replacement for water; growing commercial value of liposome-based dyeing agents and additives; growing preference for chrome-free tanning in automotive upholstery applications supported by technical, economic and environmental benefits. Asia-Pacific represents the largest and the fastest growing market worldwide with a CAGR of 7.4% over the analysis period led by factors such as shifting of production bases to low cost Asian countries such as China, India, and Bangladesh; expanding population and a parallel increase in clothing and furnishing needs; and growing base of middle-class population in India and China with high discretionary income and resulting increase in demand for fashion apparel.
