Textile manufacturing is one of the world's oldest industries. In the past 10 years textile production and consumption have followed a growth rate of about 3-4% on an average.

The global market of textile chemical industry was USD 15 billion in 2007 and reached at USD 17.5 billion in 2011 at an average growth rate of 5% annually. Among all the regions China, USA and Western Europe possess the maximum potential as they accounted for more than 35% of the total textile chemical industry in 2011. Textile market is expected to grow at USD 22 billion by 2017 at an expected CAGR of 4% during 2011-2017. The overall growth in global textile chemical consumption in the past three years on a volume basis was about 3% per year. Textile chemical market can be categorized on three bases:

• Application basis

• Chemical types

• Finished products

On application basis, Colorants and auxiliaries segment possess maximum potential, while segment finishing chemicals is growing faster among all. By chemicals, polymer segment shares largest part of textile industry and expected to lead the market in coming five years on an average growth of 8% annual. By finished products segment Carpets and rugs is expected to grow fastest in among all in coming year five year.

The rise in demand for apparel, furnishings, and floor coverings is driving the growth of textile chemicals industry. New products are going to introduce in coming future for medical, construction and interior textiles and wearable electronics will lead the market for textile industry. One of the major factors of concern regarding environment like CO2 emission restrains the growth of textile chemical.

Textile chemicals are generally defined as the compounds, intermediates and chemicals used in the processing and manufacturing of textiles. Textile chemicals improve and optimize the manufacturing process and endow the final product with a specific function or a particular desirable appearance, like greenhouse fabrics that reflects the sun, flameproof furniture fabrics, durable airbags for vehicles and many such textiles. Modern textiles are almost impossible to produce without chemicals. 

During the manufacturing process, textiles have to go through a long process of chemical and non-chemical treatments. From pretreatment to its finishing, there are various categories and subcategories of textile chemicals including: 

• Pretreatment chemicals 
• Textile dyeing chemicals 
• Dyeing and printing chemicals 
• Finishing chemicals 
• Antistatic agents 
• Other specialty chemicals 

Textile fabrics can be produced directly from webs of fibers by bonding, fusing or interlocking to make non-woven fabrics and felts, but their physical properties tend to restrict their potential end-usage. The mechanical manipulation of yarn into fabric is the most versatile method of manufacturing textile fabrics for a wide range of end-uses.

There are three principal methods of mechanically manipulating yarn into textile fabrics:

• Interweaving: It is the intersection of two sets of straight threads, warp and weft, which cross and interweave at right angles to each other. Weaving is by far the oldest and most common method of producing continuous lengths of straight-edged fabric
• Intertwining and twisting: Intertwining and twisting includes a number of techniques, such as braiding and knotting, where threads are caused to intertwine with each other at right angles or some other angle. These techniques tend to produce special constructions whose uses are limited to very specific purposes. 
• Inter-looping: It consists of forming yarn(s) into loops, each of which is typically only released after a succeeding loop has been formed and inter-meshed with it so that a secure ground loop structure is achieved. The loops are also held together by the yarn passing from one to the next.
