Textile Chemicals - Market Size, Market Share, Market Leaders, Demand Forecast, Sales, Company Profiles, Market Research, Industry Trends

The US market for textile chemicals will reach $2.6 billion in 2006, driven by a rebound in domestic textile mill fiber consumption and gains in value-added finishing chemicals. Polymers will remain the largest product type while enzymes register the most rapid gains. Carpets and rugs will be the fastest growing end use.

This study analyzes the 2.7 billion pound US textile chemicals industry. It presents historical data for 1992, 1996 and 2001 and forecasts to 2006 and 2011 by product (e.g., polymers, colorants, surfactants, starches, sodium chemicals, enzymes, silicone products); by function (e.g., dyeing and printing, finishing, coatings, preparation, sizing); and by end use.

The study also examines the market environment, details industry structure and market share, and profiles 41 companies including DyStar, Noveon, Ciba Specialty Chemicals, and OMNOVA.
