Natural Dyes Market by Type (Plant Based, Animal Based, Mineral Based), Structure, Form, Application, End-Use Industry (FnB, Cosmetic & Personal Care, Pharmaceuticals, Pulp & Paper, Packaging, Stationary & Art Supplies) - Global Forecast to 2029
The natural dyes market is projected to reach USD 6.4 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.7% from USD 4.8 billion in 2024. Synthetic dyes are one of the most chemically intensive industries and is a major contributor to water pollution. Synthetic dyes are non-biodegradable due to their chemical structure, adversely affecting the environment. The textile industry, which is a major end-user of dyes, accounts for around 6.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The dyeing process in the textile industry is a highly energy-intensive process as it requires large amounts of water to be heated. According to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report on sustainability and circularity in the textile value chain, the dyeing and finishing process contributes to around 36% of the entire textile value chain's impact on climate. Moreover, according to European Parliament, textile production is estimated to be responsible for around 20% of global clean water pollution from dyeing and finishing products.
