From the present situation in the textile finishing industry, it is evident that revolutionary innovations are not in sight and that attempts to work with new processes must first prove successful in special sectors. The dyestuff and auxiliaries market will depend on the price to the same extent as technical progress approaches an end point. The trend toward a splitting up of the market into fashion and nonfashion goods will intensify the regional shift in the production of standard qualities. Whereas in Western Europe and Japan the proportion of highly fashionable qualities is increasing and some are even exported, in the U.S. the parallel development of both types of goods will continue, as befits the size and multifariousness of this market.
