ACID DYES MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

However, the complex molecular structure of acid dyes can cause sensitization in humans. Exposure or ingestion of dye dust can increase risk of illness among factory workers.

Majority of manufacturers have ceased the use of these dyes, and are opting for safer and cheaper alternatives. As a result, these factors are expected to hamper the growth of the global acid dyes market.
