Market Drivers

The Middle East & Africa (MEA) textile chemicals market size is anticipated to grow at a substantial rate during the forecast period.

Population increase, government efforts that are encouraging, and the expansion of the garment industry are the main drivers of this development. Egypt is home to the most prolific textile clusters in all of Africa, while Turkey is among the top five global exporters of textiles. The South African Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has authorized a $355.65 million grant to support the country's apparel and textile industry.  

The UAE's textile sector is flourishing as a result of encouraging government efforts, the most recent of which is the goal of making Dubai a global center for fashion by 2020. The creation of technological textiles and cutting-edge textile goods is piquing the attention of UAE manufacturers. These developments might boost output, enhance product quality, and facilitate on-time order fulfilment. Over the next years, these factors will further fuel demand for textile chemicals across the Middle East and Africa.

Market Restraints

The textile chemicals industry in the Middle East and Africa is hampered by a lack of raw materials and price fluctuations. Another drawback is the powder coating section since there are other options that are much more cost-effective. Many textile chemicals are also termed carcinogenic and thus pose a great risk of causing cancer to the workers, which is another drawback to the industry.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Market

Coronavirus has created significant problems for the textile chemicals market by affecting the textile and cosmetic industries. This pandemic has damaged major economies in the Middle East and Africa; nevertheless, the textile chemicals industry has remained unscathed throughout this time owing to the absence of regional presence of textile chemical firms. 

The cosmetic and textile industries originally suffered due to a lack of demand and output, but it has been well offset by the increasing need for healthcare items. Investing in this area ceased, and textile chemicals were marketed as a luxury item that was out of reach for low-income African nations. Furthermore, huge imports from China, the disease's epicenter, led in a full suspension of commerce in the early stages of the pandemic, which had a considerable detrimental effect on tiny regional manufacturing firms.
