Green Transformation Becomes a Core Trend
Driven by both global carbon neutrality goals and domestic environmental policies, the textile auxiliary industry is accelerating its green transformation. New environmentally friendly products, such as bio-based fluorine-free waterproofing agents, have obtained USDA bio-based certification and ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) certification. While maintaining waterproof performance, they effectively address the pain points of traditional products, such as color change and whitening upon handling. In 2024, the application rate of such products in outdoor sports fabrics exceeded 30%. It is projected that by 2030, the market size of environmentally friendly auxiliaries will reach 40 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate exceeding 15%. At the enterprise level, leading companies such as Zhejiang Transfar Chemical Group have established bio-based auxiliary production lines, using nanotechnology to improve product degradation rates and drive the industry from "end-of-pipe treatment" to "source carbon reduction."

Intelligentization and Functional Integration Open Up New Tracks
With the explosive growth in demand for smart textiles, textile auxiliaries are upgrading from single-function to multi-functional products. For example, graphene-modified auxiliaries, through nanotechnology, enable fabrics to possess both conductive and antibacterial functions, finding wide application in the smart wearable field. Phase change material auxiliaries, through intelligent temperature control technology, enable clothing to automatically regulate temperature. In 2025, the market size of nanocomposite auxiliaries exceeded 5 billion yuan, with intelligent temperature control auxiliaries accounting for over 40%. Furthermore, multifunctional chelating agents, by integrating functions such as water treatment and dye stabilization, simplify production processes and improve efficiency by over 20%, becoming the preferred solution for technological upgrades in printing and dyeing enterprises.

Industrial clusters and globalization are reshaping the competitive landscape.
The Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions, with their complete industrial chains, occupy 65% of the national textile auxiliaries market share. Guangdong, in particular, achieved an output of 1.2 million tons in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 18.6%, becoming the world's largest supply base. Simultaneously, enterprises are accelerating their globalization efforts, circumventing trade barriers by establishing factories and R&D centers overseas. For example, Huntsman is building a bio-based auxiliaries production base in Southeast Asia to serve the local textile industry; while domestic companies are raising technological barriers by acquiring international brands. It is expected that by 2030, China's share of the global textile auxiliaries market will increase from 25% to 35%, becoming a core force in the upgrading of the global industrial chain.
