The Southeast Asia textile scouring agent market is experiencing robust growth, valued at USD 280 million in 2024 and projected to reach USD 420 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. This expansion is driven by the region’s rapidly developing textile manufacturing sector and increasing demand for sustainable textile processing solutions.
Textile scouring agents are essential chemicals used in fabric pretreatment to remove natural impurities like waxes, pectins, and oils while improving dye absorption. The market is witnessing a shift toward bio-based formulations as manufacturers respond to environmental regulations and sustainability requirements from global apparel brands.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Vietnam dominates the Southeast Asian market with a 35% share, followed closely by Indonesia (25%) and Thailand (20%). The region’s textile exports reached over $45 billion in 2022, with Vietnam’s garment sector growing at 8-10% annually. This expansion creates substantial demand for efficient pretreatment chemicals across cotton, polyester, and blended fabric processing.
Major textile processing hubs like Ho Chi Minh City and Bandung are implementing stricter wastewater discharge standards, accelerating adoption of environmentally friendly scouring solutions. Meanwhile, Thailand’s sportswear manufacturing cluster is driving demand for advanced nano-based scouring technologies that offer superior cleaning performance.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market is primarily driven by three factors: rapid textile industry expansion, tightening environmental regulations, and technological innovation. Textile production in Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia has grown 8-12% annually over the past five years, directly increasing chemical demand. Meanwhile, sustainability mandates are pushing adoption of bio-based scouring agents, which now represent 25% of the market.
Significant opportunities exist in digital solutions like IoT-enabled dosing systems that can reduce chemical usage by 18-22%. Service-based chemical management models are also gaining traction, particularly in Thailand and Malaysia, where performance-based contracts account for 15% of industrial chemical transactions.
Challenges & Restraints
The market faces several challenges including raw material price volatility – ethylene oxide prices have fluctuated up to 60% within single quarters since 2021. Chinese competitors control about 40% of the regional market through aggressive pricing, undercutting local producers by 15-25%.
Technical barriers also exist, as many mills require substantial capital investments of $250,000-$500,000 to adopt advanced scouring technologies. Knowledge gaps persist, with only 35% of textile technicians receiving formal training on modern scouring chemistries.
