Around 50 leading companies will showcase sustainable products, services, and technologies for textile dyeing, printing, and processing, including natural dyes. The event will host knowledge sessions on Colour Science, covering measurement, automation, and AI, and Natural Dyes & Bio-Based Solutions, focusing on industry challenges.
DyeChem World is the only dedicated exhibition for the textile dyes and chemicals industry. It aims to promote sustainable chemical solutions, processes, and technologies that minimize environmental impact while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Organized by Textile Excellence, this exhibition provides a platform for industry players to engage with customers and explore the latest advancements.
Dyes and chemicals are vital to the textile and apparel industry, playing a crucial role in sustainability. With growing regulations on eco-friendly manufacturing, the industry is shifting towards sustainable raw materials, processing techniques, and finishing technologies. Textile dyeing, printing, and finishing are among the most polluting stages in production, increasing the need for environmentally friendly solutions.
In 2022, India produced approximately 398,000 metric tons of dyes and pigments, with about 80 per cent consumed by the domestic textile industry. India manufactures around 700 varieties of dyes, pigments, and intermediates, supplying other sectors like paper, plastics, and printing ink. Maharashtra and Gujarat account for 90 per cent of India’s dyestuff production, with over 1,200 factories.
India exported dyes worth $2.25 billion in 2023-24, while imports stood at $297.63 million. The overall chemicals industry exported $20.38 billion and imported $27.11 billion during the same period.
The exhibition will showcase textile dyes, pigments, inks, and colorants, along with textile chemicals, enzymes, and auxiliaries. It will also feature special textile finishes like anti-odor, antimicrobial, wrinkle-free, moisture-wicking, and flame-retardant treatments, as well as water-treatment chemicals for ETP, WTP, and ZLD processes.
