Textile Auxiliaries Market 2023-2030: Analysis On The Basis Of Current Industry Demand, Growth Rate, New Trends And Key Players

The textile auxiliaries market refers to the industry that produces chemicals and other substances used in the processing of textiles. These auxiliaries are added to textile materials during various stages of production to enhance their properties, such as improving dyeing, printing, finishing, and sizing processes. The market for textile auxiliaries is driven by the growing demand for high-quality and customized textile products, especially in developing countries. The use of these chemicals in textile production also helps to increase the efficiency of manufacturing processes and reduce environmental impact. However, concerns over the use of certain chemicals and their impact on human health and the environment have led to a growing interest in more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives in the textile industry.

Market Dynamics:

  • Textile industry is witnessing a rapid growth, owing to novel fabric finishes such as mosquito repellent, antistatic, antibacterial, and fire retardant materials. For instance, according to European Apparel and Textile Confederation report of 2017, the textile and clothing industry in EU 28 increased to US$ 206.9 billion in 2017 from US$ 200.4 billion in 2016. To get a finished material, various chemical auxiliaries are used in textile processing. According to a thesis ‘Towards Sustainable Use of Chemicals in the Textile Industry’ of Chalmers University of Technology, 2015, around 1.5 to 6.9 kg of chemicals are used for the production of 1 kg of garment.
  • Use of natural and environmentally safer textile auxiliaries is expected to drive the market growth, owing to stringent governmental regulations applied on use of toxic chemicals in textiles. For instance, according to the Official Journal of European Union, February 2016, textiles containing nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), a surfactant, ≥0.01% will be banned from sale within EU from February 3, 2021, as NPE is toxic to environment.
  • Moreover, to reduce the adverse effects of textile manufacturing process on environment and the toxic waste generated thereof, the Sustainable Clothing Action Plan 2020 (SCAP) was launched in 2013 by the government of U.K. along with Waste and Resources Action Program (WRAP). Their target is to reduce 15% carbon footprint; 15% water footprint; 15% waste to landfill; and 3.5% reduction in waste arising over the whole textile product life-cycle by 2020.
  • Therefore, developing a production process that utilizes lower energy and water, prevents use of toxic chemicals, and reduces waste generation is of utmost importance for textile manufacturing. Increasing awareness regarding environmental conservation is expected to drive demand for greener textile auxiliaries such as enzymes or natural colorants, which will offer eco-friendly textile processing methods in the global textile auxiliaries market.

Key players:

  • Key players operating in the global textile auxiliaries market include Croda, Huntsman International LLC, The Dow Chemical Company, Lubrizol Corporation, Covestro, AkzoNobel N.V. (Nouryon), Archroma, and Sarex Chemicals
