As of 201, Asia Pacific was identified as the highest gainer in the global industry, on the backdrop of rapidly surging use of textile chemicals, especially since the region is world’s biggest textile manufacturer. Fast-paced industrialization, advancing economic status and favorable government policies also act in favor of the textile chemicals market of the region. The availability of low-cost labor combined with the surge in exports as well as evolving lifestyles of the mass in the face of rising urbanization should also raise the consumption rate of textile and ultimately textile chemicals in the following years. Interestingly, the Indian market has emerged as a strong contender, with most of the manufacturers in the country increasingly focusing on spending generously on product innovation, largely encouraged by the Make in India programs as well as various other initiatives by the government. Robust preference for apparels that come in varying designs and textures among the youth has landed India among the top textile industries in the world. Also, with the rising disposable income of the consumers and the emerging trend of casual clothing seems to be working in favor of the textile chemicals market in the country.

The huge industrial bases across Europe and North America along with the rampant demand for technical textiles across healthcare, construction and automotive sectors have been favorable for the textile chemicals market in these regions. Technical textiles enjoy high demand in North America, especially in the US, given the rapidly surging product use in numerous applications including manufacturing, medical and chemical. Significant preference for stain-resistant, luxurious, and anti-microbial fabrics in the region has set off the growth rate of the regional market as well. The emergence of advanced technologies including sterilized textiles should further benefit the North American market. The European market is witnessing booming sales of high quality and branded fabrics amidst the high sense of fashion. Europe has managed to gain the upper hand in the global market with the rising uptake of smart technologies in coloring of fabrics.

Industrialization rate has been rising across emerging countries like Chile and Brazil, making Latin America a strong market for textile chemicals. On the other hand, presence of a thriving infrastructural base in UAE, Saudi Arabia and GCC has made MEA a lucrative market.
