The global textile chemicals market size was valued at USD 26.44 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% in terms of revenue from 2024 to 2030. The demand for textile chemicals is increasing rapidly due to the booming clothing and apparel industry, driven by the rising global population, urbanization, and higher disposable incomes.
In addition, the growing trend towards sustainable and functional textiles has led to the development and use of advanced chemicals that enhance fabric properties such as durability, stain resistance, and comfort. Innovations in textile manufacturing processes, such as digital printing and nanotechnology, also require specialized chemicals, further fueling demand. Moreover, the expansion of textile production in developing countries with lower labor costs contributes to the heightened need for these chemicals to meet international quality and environmental standards.
Textile chemicals are a diverse array of substances used during the various stages of clothing manufacturing and processing to enhance the characteristics and performance of fibers and fabrics. These chemicals include dyes, finishing agents, softeners, surfactants, and other specialty chemicals that impart color, improve texture, increase durability, and add specific functionalities like water repellency or flame resistance.
