Earlier Report Observations
The Czech market for finishing agents with amylaceous basis began the period at USD 2.2 million in 2018. It contracted to USD 1.9 million in 2019, followed by a sharp decline to USD 1.2 million in 2020, largely due to supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Market size recovered to USD 1.7 million in 2021, driven by the introduction of stricter EU chemical regulations for the textile industry, which increased demand for compliant finishing agents. However, the market fell again to USD 1.5 million in 2022 as production and imports both decreased substantially.
In the following years, import values continued to drop, hitting a low of USD 545 thousand in 2024 before rising to USD 953 thousand in 2025. Exports were volatile, with a significant increase to USD 765 thousand in 2025 after earlier declines.
