CEH: Dyes

Apr 2021. Over the past 30 years, the production of dyes in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan has decreased significantly, while production in Asia, particularly in mainland China, India, and South Korea, has increased. Many of the changes in the dyestuffs industry began in about 1990 as a result of fierce price competition and the globalization of world trade, especially textile manufacture. In the last 30 years, dye production has moved closer to the point of consumption. Mainland China now accounts for 40–45% of world dyes consumption. Mainland China and India are also major exporters of dyes, as well as large quantities of important raw material and dye intermediate chemicals, which are subsequently modified for use in Western countries. The Western countries are no longer producing commoditized textiles and dyes, but instead emphasizing value-added products.
