The chemical industry is a major component of the economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2020, for the U.S., the value added by chemical products as a percentage of GDP was around 1.9%. Additionally, according to the World Bank, Chemical industry in the U.S. accounted for 16.43% to manufacturing value-added in 2018. With the growing demand from end-users, the market for chemical products is expected to grow in future. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Program), the sales of chemicals are projected to almost double from 2017 to 2030. In the current scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest chemical producing and consuming region. China has the world’s largest chemical industry, that accounted for annual sales of approximately more than USD 1.5 trillion, or about more than one-third of global sales, in recent years. Additionally, a vast consumer base and favorable government policies have boosted investment in China’s chemical industry. Easy availability of low-cost raw material & labor as well as government subsidies and relaxed environmental norms have served as a production base for key vendors globally. On the other hand, according to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry), the chemical industry in India was valued at 163 billion in 2019 and it contributed 3.4% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 6th in global chemical production. This statistic shows the lucrative opportunity for the investment in businesses in Asia Pacific countries in the upcoming years.
Growth Drivers
The scouring agent market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by function into sizing agent, stains agent, lubricating agent, alkali-resistant agent, mercerizing agent, penetrating agent and wax removing agent. Out of these, the sizing agent is attributed to garner the highest revenue by 2031. High consumption of starch and polyvinyl alcohol, the two most important materials used in textile sizing is expected to fuel the market growth. Recently, it was calculated that global consumption of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) is forecasted to grow at a rate of 4.7% from 2021 to 2026. Further, the production volume of starch in India was accounted to be 690 thousand metric tons during the fiscal year 2018.
Regionally, the global scouring agent market is studied into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region. Amongst these, the market in Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2031. The primary reason for the market growth in the region is the rising population along with their increasing demand and manufacturing of textiles. The recent statistics revealed that China was the top-ranked global textile exporter in 2021 with a value of approximately USD 118.5 billion, almost 52% of the total textile export market in Asia. Bangladesh is also a leading textile exporter with a value around USD 39 billion. Another growth factor of the market is the high involvement of the population in the clothing industry.
