The Functional Textile Finishing Agents Market is expected to increase by USD 736.5 million billion. As per the research report 2024-2028 published by Technavio, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.77% during the forecast period. The industry is segmented by Product (Repellent and release, Flame retardant, Antimicrobial and antibacterial, Temperature regulation, and Durable press and others), Type (Synthetic and Natural), and Geography (APAC, North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and South America).
In the global functional textile finishing agents market, the repellent and release segment held a significant market share in 2023. This segment encompasses various types of finishing agents, including water and oil repellents, mosquito repellents, and dirt-repellent agents. Water and oil repellents are topical finishing agents that protect fabrics from water, oil, and soil penetration. They function by forming a barrier on the fabric surface, preventing liquids from coming into contact with the fibers. For instance, Rudolf Group launched its Bio-Based Water Repellent Solutions in January 2021. These functional textile finishing agents modify the surface characteristics of fabric fibers, enhancing their resistance to water and oil.

Functional finishing agents play a crucial role in enhancing the performance and functionality of textiles. These agents help modify the surface of traditional fabrics, transforming them into textiles with advanced properties. Hydrophilicity, optical appearance, adhesion, and various other fabric performance properties are improved through the use of functional finishing agents. Some agents provide additional benefits such as anti-inflammatory substances, antimicrobial properties, and chemical resistance. Water-soluble polysiloxane, for instance, offers UV light resistance, water resistance, and performance enhancement. The textile finishing process involves the application of these agents to improve the physical and chemical properties of textiles. Functional textiles, including home textiles and apparel, now offer enhanced comfort, durability, UV protection, wrinkle resistance, water repellency, flame retardancy, and antimicrobial properties, all thanks to functional finishing agents. However, it is essential to ensure the health and safety of consumers and the environment. The use of chemical substances in textile finishing must adhere to stringent regulations to minimize any potential risks. Overall, functional finishing agents contribute significantly to the advancement of the textile industry by providing textiles with superior performance and desirable functions.
