In 2023, India imported acid and mordant dyes and preparations totaling approximately 688 thousand kilograms. From 2024 through 2028, the import volume is forecasted to decrease steadily, starting at 671.28 thousand kilograms in 2024, and declining annually to reach 604.21 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years of approximately -2.0%.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in manufacturing capabilities within India that might reduce reliance on imports.
Developments in environmental regulations that could affect the production and consumption of certain dyes.
Emerging markets and industries that could influence demand for these imports.
