Dye Intermediates Market Segment Analysis:
By Type, Mono Chloro Benzene Based Dye Intermediates, Monbenzidine Based Dye Intermediates, MPD Based Dye Intermediates, and Other. Mono Chloro Benzene Based Dye Intermediates are dominating the type segment of dye intermediate market. Mono Chloro Benzene is a clear colorless liquid with mol. Weight 112.56 and purity min 99.9% by GLC. Mono Chloro Benzene is soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. Due to their colorless nature and solubility, they are highly preferred in dye intermediates. Mono Chloro Benzene is also utilized in dye intermediates, manufacturing of phenol, aniline, and solvents for paints, heat transfer medium, and pesticides.

By Application, Paints, Printing Inks, Textiles, Plastics, Paper, Hair Dyes, and Other. The textile industry is dominating the application segment of dye intermediates. Dye intermediates are used to dye cotton, wool, silk, and can also be used in dyeing fabrics. Various types of reactive dyes use in the dyeing industry are sulfur dye for cotton and viscose, mordant dye for cotton, wool, silk, pigment for cotton, manmade fiber, and mineral for cotton, wool, silk. Textile dyes are compounds used to color fabrics. The dye soaks into the fabric and changes it chemically to set the dye permanently and do not come off on multiple wash and use. Dye is specifically used to make the textile decorative and attractive.
Globally, the textile industry consumes about 80% of the total production due to the high demand for polyester and cotton. Polyesters are estimated to account for a larger part of dye consumption in the country and the application of polyesters is projected to grow faster in the forecast period. Following are the applications of dyes in the textile Industry.
