Abstract Developing environmental consciousness has led to a global increase in the use of natural dyes. They are mostly used in India's handloom industry to dye silk and cotton, which is then exported to the United States and Europe. Small enterprises and commercial dyers have recently shown a great deal of interest. "Economic opportunities and challenges in commercializing natural dyed handloom products" are the subject of this article's systematic review. The articles, which were found in EBSCO, Research Gate, and Google Scholar, covered the years 2000–2024. PRISMA 2020 (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta Analyses) is the methodology employed for the review. To gather information, the researchers employed interviews, questionnaires, and observation. The Indian textile industry is increasingly using natural dyes from plant, animal, and mineral sources as sustainable alternatives to synthetic dyes, helping both the environment and traditional practices. This shift presents opportunities for India's export market while promoting cultural heritage and innovation in dyeing techniques. The article critically examines the dyeing industry's status, highlighting challenges such as technological advancements, environmental concerns, and market dynamics. It emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices and innovation to meet contemporary demands and discusses the socio-economic implications for dyers and the broader textile industry, balancing traditional methods with modern requirements.
