Denim Finishing Agents Market Share & Growth | Forecast 2031

Report Description

The global denim finishing agents market was valued at USD 1.77 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 3.17 Billion by 2031 expanding at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. Denim fabrics are widely recognized for their durability and appearance. The performance and appearance of denim materials largely rely on an appropriate finishing process.

The fabric is mechanically and chemically handled after weaving to make it soft and stabile. The process of finishing involve several stages which includes brushing, singeing, stretching, drying, and shrinking. The primary steps of brushing eliminates impurities and evens the denim fabric surface.

Stretching controls the hand and stiffness of the fabric and guarantees its dimensional stability by compressive shrinking. These fabrics are sent for making up; wherein, the fabric is cut into appropriate width depending on the required size.
