Acid Dyes Market Definition
The acid dyes market is an important segment of the chemicals and materials industry. This industry deals in the manufacturing and distribution of acid dyes across the world. These dyes are water-soluble anionic compounds that are developed using methods such as Exhaust, Beck, and Continuous (carpet). Their fixation rate is around 80% to 90% for their use in several industries. The growing demand for acid dyes from leather industries due to their wash fastness, high light fastness, and rubbing fastness has boosted the market growth. This market is expected to rise significantly with the growth in the fabrics industry across the world.
The growing demand for chemical dyes such as Nitroso, Triphenylmethane, Xanthene, Azine, Quinoline, Ketonimine and some others has boosted the market growth. Also, the advancement in dyeing methodologies such as levelling, fast, milling and super milling has shaped the industry in a positive way. Moreover, the rising application of these dyes in wool and silk dyeing and synthetic polyamide (nylon) is expected to boost the growth of the acid dyes market.
The ongoing research and development activities related to natural dyes, along with the growing adoption of nanotechnology in the dye industry, is expected to create ample growth opportunities for the market players in the future. In May 2022, Archroma launched Nylosan S. Nylosan S, a metal-free and halogen-free acid dye used for several applications in sportswear.
