Indigo is an important dyestuff used in the production of denim, one of the world's most popular fabrics. The oldest dye used in textile dyeing is indigo. For ages, many countries such as China, Japan, and India specialized in the use of this color. India is home to the world's oldest indigo dyeing center. These factors are expected increase the demand for indigo dyes from the textile industry during the forecast period.

In West Africa, indigo clothing symbolizes wealth and prosperity. The blue and stripped clothes were normal Cameroonian clothes. In Japan, the use of silk was banned during the Edo period, hence people started using cotton. At that time, it was difficult to dye cotton fibers in colors other than indigo. Presently, indigo is an important color in the production of the summer kimono. Indigo-dyed viscose fabric has high application as mosquito net, as it protects against all flying insects.


The global economy is growing rapidly, due to the rising standard of living and exposure to modern technologies. Rising disposable income changed the lifestyle of people. Changing lifestyle is positively affecting the market and the popularity for denim jeans is rising. Indigo dyes have a modern resonance in the production of denim, which is widely used in the fashion world. Over 1 billion pairs of jeans are dyed in indigo blue color each year.

According to a recent poll, the average American woman owns 18 denim items in her closet, the bulk of which are in blue colors ranging from the deepest ocean blue to the palest sky blue. According to a Gap denim color chart, majority of women like blue denims in varying tints. Medium blue was chosen by 39 percent, dark blue by 24 percent, and light blue by 16 percent.

Dyes play an important role in the medical industry, where they are used to treat diseases and cure disorders. Indigo, which has an intense dark blue color, is probably the oldest and most well-known dye. Indigo dyes are made from the Indigo naturalis plant. Indigo derivatives come in a variety of colors and shades, including yellow, green, brown, and violet. They are the main ingredients of an indigo naturalis formulation, along with indirubin (red) and its derivatives. It is often used as a heat remover in Chinese medicine to treat a variety of diseases.

Indigo naturalis, known as Qing Dai in Chinese, has a salty flavor and cooling effects. It has an effect on the liver's activities, resulting in the removal of harmful heat from the body and a drop in blood temperature. Furthermore, it relieves convulsions. It causes various diseases such as, hemoptysis accompanied with elevated temperature, nose bleeding, chest pain, mouth ulcers, mumps, throat and larynx inflammation, and children's convulsions. These factors are expected to boost the market in the coming years.


Textile manufacturing techniques require a lot of water and harmful chemicals. They contribute to environmental damage by discharging untreated dye effluents in the form of sludge into nearby aquatic environments. Natural indigo dye damages the environment. It takes a long time to degrade and pollutes river water, making it impossible for plants and animals to survive in the absence of sunlight.

Indigo dye has a negative impact on groundwater, rivers, and streams. Strict government rules regarding indigo dyes used in various industries such as textile are anticipated to hamper the demand for indigo dyes in the forecast period. Increasing attention to environmental protection and prevention of the spread of pollution led the government to take action and impose strict regulations on the use of indigo dyes, which is expected to hamper the growth of the market in the coming years.


Key manufacturers are using modern techniques for manufacturing indigo dyes, which is projected to boost the demand for the product during the forecast period. Research & development activities create opportunities for new developments in indigo dyes, which is projected to fuel the market in the coming years. Researchers from the University of Georgia in the US created an indigo dyeing procedure that is an environment-friendly alternative to current methods. The technology saves water and eliminates hazardous chemicals that pollute the environment during the dyeing process. It simplifies the procedure and ensures a larger amount of color than traditional approaches.
