Global Water Base Pigment Ink For Textile Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Water Base Pigment Ink For Textile market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1497 million in 2025 to US$ 2455 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, global production of water-based pigment ink for textile reached approximately 180,000 tons, with an average selling price of USD 8,500 per ton, total production capacity of about 220,000 tons, and an average gross margin of around 35%.
Water-based pigment ink for textile refers to a type of digital textile printing ink formulated with water as the primary dispersion medium and insoluble pigment particles as colorants, combined with dispersants, binders, and various functional additives. The ink forms a stable film on the fabric surface through the binder, allowing pigments to adhere firmly to fibers. Post-printing fixation typically requires only drying or heat curing, without steaming or washing, offering simplified processing, broad fabric compatibility, and strong environmental advantages.
From a market perspective, demand for water-based pigment ink for textile is mainly driven by the increasing penetration of digital textile printing and stricter environmental regulations. Compared with reactive and disperse dye ink systems, water-based pigment inks offer shorter processing routes, lower water consumption, and reduced emissions, leading to expanding adoption in both DTG and industrial digital textile printing. Asia-Pacific, particularly China, represents the largest production and consumption base, while Europe and North America maintain steady growth in high-end apparel, fast-response supply chains, and sustainable textile applications.
