Textile chemicals are used during fabric coloring and textile processing in order to improve the overall fabric quality. These chemicals find widespread application during the processing of cellulosic fibers such as cotton, jute and linen as well as synthetic fibers like polyesters and nylon. With Bangladesh emerging as one of the major textile exporting nations, the demand for textile chemicals in the country has increased sharply in the recent years. Low worker wages and easy raw material availability are some of the prime factors driving the country’s textile industry as well as other allied industries such as textile chemicals. However, due to limited technical capabilities and poor infrastructure, multinational textile chemical companies have not been able to set up their production facilities in Bangladesh. Textile chemicals are largely imported in Bangladesh from other countries due to poor chemical production infrastructure in the country. In order to capitalize on huge growth opportunities in the market, these companies are importing textile chemicals from their key production facilities in countries such as India and China.
