It cannot be predicted. For example...

INT takes 4 bytes in the database, but the value '0' will take 2 bytes in the dump ('0' and ','), whereas '-2000111222', which fits in INT will take 12 bytes. ENUM and SET expand significantly. VARCHAR, unless the text is non-ascii will not expand much (mostly two quotes and one comma). Etc, etc.

So, the factor of 1.6 that you got is within the what can be expected.

Consider piping the output to some compression package (zip, etc); that might shrink the result by a factor of 3.
