Textile Chemicals for Technical Textiles comprise geotechnical, medical, hometech, clothtech, and aggrotech. This segment is expected to witness substantial growth in the global textile chemicals market over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to a number of factors, such as rising standards of living, the rising disposable income, and the rapid growth of the construction industry worldwide.
Dyes and
dye products dominated the European textile chemicals market in 2018. The
dyeing process is a common process used to add color to textile products. It
involves putting the textiles into a solution containing a dye and specific
chemical materials. The dye particles form an uncut chemical bond with the
fiber particles. As a result, the finished products are often high in quality.
Moreover, technical textiles use these textile chemicals to enhance their
durability and reduce the risk of wear and tear. Dyeing auxiliaries, for
example, are used to wash and dye yarns, alter the substrate for coloration and
improve the application medium's stability. Other segments include carriers,
anti-foaming agents, and peroxide killers.
The global
textile chemicals market is predicted to reach USD XX billion by 2028. Economic growth and technological
advancements will contribute to the textile
chemicals for technical textiles market's
steady growth. The rising demand for textiles in the transportation industry is
again fostering the market growth.
Textile
fibers do not retain 90 percent of the organic chemicals and auxiliaries that
they contain. Many of these chemicals are disposed of in waste, while some are
released into the environment. Moreover, VOCs are also released during printing
processes and thermal treatments. Further, this is because thermal energy and
fossil fuels are responsible for air pollution. Archroma, Dow, Wacker Chemie
AG, Evonik Industries AG, and Huntsman International LLC are some of the key
players.
