The increasing adoption of reactive dyes drives market CAGR for reactive dyes. The majority of organic chemicals used to dye textiles are in the group called reactive dyes. Reactive dyes have the ability to make chemical compounds with fiber, the primary constituent of cotton fibers, as well as covalent bonds with the substrates that need to be colored. Reactive dyes are incorporated into the fiber, decreasing the likelihood of washing away. The textile industries that produce cotton, silk, nylon, and wool largely employ reactive dyes. Any changes in these sectors immediately impact the market for reactive dyes.
The textile and leather industries are the key drivers for reactive dyes. The textile sector, a large end-user of reactive dyes, is expected to grow dramatically in the coming years as a result of a number of variables, including an increase in disposable income, an increase in population, and shifting consumer preferences. Additionally, it is anticipated that the textile sector and consequently the market for reactive dyes would be driven by the regularly shifting fashion trends and the increased popularity of branded clothing during the projected period. However, over the projected period, strict rules enforced by various governments are anticipated to restrict the market for reactive dyes.
The main reasons propelling the market for reactive dyes are the expansion of numerous application industries, including paper, textile, wood, leather, and others. The globalization of living styles and the increase in population both contribute to growth.
In 2024, Archroma will introduce a new version of Avitera SE, the established reactive dye technology for cellulosic fibers and blends, which tests suggest can lower water and energy use by 50%. Branded as Avitera SE Generation Next, this latest addition to the portfolio claims to provide an improved cost-to-performance ratio for new dark and extra-dark shades, making it more accessible to mills looking to meet brand and retailer environmental requirements, according to Archroma.
The Reactive Dyes market segmentation, based on type includes reactive cold dyes, reactive hot dyes, reactive HE dyes, reactive ME dyes, and others. The reactive cold dyes segment dominated the market. Cold reactive dyes are applicable at temperature between 25 degree C to 50 degree C. These dyes are highly reactive with fiber at the temperature mentioned above.
The Reactive Dyes market segmentation, based on function, includes monochlorotriazine, vinyl sulphone, bi-functional, and others. The monochlorotriazine category generated the most income. Reactive dyes of this kind are less reactive and substantial. These dyes require harsher conditions to fix cellulosic materials because of their limited reactivity. Pour water between 80 and 85 oC over the powder and thoroughly swirl it to make these colours easily soluble.
The Reactive Dyes market segmentation, based on application, includes cotton, paper, nylon, leather, and others. The cotton category generated the most income. Reactive dyes of this kind are less reactive and substantial. Reactive dyes are mostly used to colour cellulose fibers, such as cotton, although they are also becoming more and more popular for colouring wool and polyamide. Reactive dyes come in a wide variety and allow for the employment of numerous dyeing procedures.
