Dyes Market Segment Insights

Dyes Market Product Type Insights

The Dyes Market segmentation, based on product type, includes reactive dyes, disperse dyes, vat dyes direct dyes, acid dyes and others. The reactive dyes segment held the majority share in 2022 contributing to around ~54-58% with respect to the Dyes Market revenue. Reactive dyes are among the class of organic compounds that are primarily used for dyeing textiles. Reactive dyes possess properties to form covalent bonds with substrates that are to be colored, and they also form chemical bonds with fiber, which is the main component of cotton fibers. Reactive dyes become a part of the fiber, making it less likely to be washed away. Reactive dyes are primarily used in the cotton, silk, nylon, and wool textile industries.  Moreover, frequently changing fashion trends along with a rise in popularity of branded clothes is expected to drive the textile industry and thus the reactive dyes market during the forecast period.

Dyes Market Application Insights

The Dyes Market data has been bifurcated by application largely into textile, leather, paper, printing inks and others. The textile segment dominated the market in 2022.

In February 2024, Birla Cellulose introduced its newest creation, Birla Viscose - Intellicolor, at the esteemed Bharat Tex event, marking a groundbreaking development. Birla Cellulose is positioned to revolutionize the textile industry by introducing its unique solution, which effectively tackles a persistent issue in traditional reactive dyeing. Intellicolor is an innovative breakthrough in the dyeing process, utilizing Cationic or Basic dyes. It has an impressive dye exhaustion rate of over 95%, which is higher than traditional procedures. It obviates the requirement for salt and soda ash in the dyeing procedure, simplifying operations and diminishing environmental consequences. Reactive dyes provide enhanced color vibrancy by creating brighter tones with more tinctorial value and color depth, while using lower dye concentrations. As a consequence, there is a drop in the amount of chemicals used, a reduction in utility usage, shorter processing times, and a lower requirement for dye volumes. This ultimately promotes sustainability in dyeing operations. In classic or traditional reactive dyeing techniques, the utilization of reactive dyes frequently requires the inclusion of substantial amounts of salt into the dye bath.
