Reactive Dyes Global Market Report 2024

The reactive dyes market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.62 billion in 2023 to $2.92 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to a shift towards cellulosic fibers, extensive utilization in apparel and home textiles, compliance with regulations and eco-friendly properties, the globalization of textile manufacturing, and advancements in research and development in dye chemistry.

The reactive dyes market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.3 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion into technical textiles, a heightened focus on sustainable dyeing practices, the development of biodegradable and eco-friendly formulations, increased demand in emerging markets, and the global economic scenario. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass advancements in digital printing technologies, innovations in dyeing technologies, a focus on cold water dyeing processes, the customization and specialization of reactive dyes, and an expansion in the apparel and fashion industry.

The anticipated growth in the textile sector is set to drive the expansion of the reactive dyes market in the future. The textile sector encompasses industries primarily engaged in clothing design or manufacture, as well as the distribution and utilization of textiles. Reactive dyes find application in the textile industry for printing color and design on cellulosic fibers such as cotton, linen, and other fabrics. The upsurge in the textile sector is expected to contribute to the growth of the reactive dyes market. For instance, in June 2020, Euratex, a Europe-based European Apparel and Textile Confederation, estimated that the textile and garment industry in the EU-27 region reached €147 billion in 2021, marking an 11% growth over 2020. Additionally, in January 2020, the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles reported that China's apparel and textile exports amounted to US$291.22 billion, a 9.5% year-over-year increase, contributing to a 1% rise in the nation's overall product exports. Therefore, the expanding textile sector is a driving force for the reactive dyes market.

The anticipated growth in the paper industry is poised to propel the reactive dyes market in the future. The paper industry involves the production of paper and paper products using wood pulp or other fibers. The expansion of the paper industry leads to an increased demand for vibrant and durable colored paper products. Reactive dyes play a crucial role in coloring paper and paper products, especially as the industry diversifies its products and adopts advanced printing technologies. For example, in September 2022, the International Energy Agency reported a global paper output of 415 metric tons in 2021, reflecting a 4% improvement over 2020. Additionally, in May 2022, the Indian Paper Manufacturers Association projected that India's paper consumption would grow annually at a rate of 6 to 7%, reaching 30 million tonnes by the fiscal year 2026-27. Therefore, the expanding paper industry is fueling the growth of the reactive dyes market.

Product innovation emerges as a key trend gaining traction in the reactive dyes market, with major companies focused on developing new technological solutions to enhance their position. For example, in November 2021, Huntsman International LLC introduced the third generation of its 'AVITERA SE' polyreactive dye. Uniquely designed with low-temperature and high-speed wash-off technology, this dye reduces water and energy requirements by up to 50% and increases mill output by up to 25% or more. The dye exhibits high chlorine resistance and is tailored for strict Japanese and US laundering requirements.

Major companies in the reactive dyes market are investing in the development of new reactive dyes with reduced processing times to gain a competitive advantage. Processing time in dyeing refers to the duration during which a material undergoes the dyeing process to achieve the desired color or pattern. For instance, in June 2023, CHT Group launched the BEZAKTIV ONE, a range of reactive dyes designed for water and energy-efficient dyeing processes with reduced processing times. This innovative collection offers strong dyes, enabling cost-effective and eco-friendly dyeing with superior wash-off performance. Addressing environmental concerns in textile production, BEZAKTIV ONE is suitable for cotton and other cellulosic fibers. The CHT Textile Dyes App's BEZAKTIV Soaping Advisor facilitates easy process optimization for textile dyers.

In February 2023, Archroma acquired Huntsman Textile Effects GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is expected to combine resources, providing fashion brands and the global textile industry with high performance and innovation while respecting natural resources. Huntsman Textile Effects GmbH is a Germany-based global provider of high-quality dyes, chemicals, and digital inks to the textile industries.
