Synthetic leather also called as artificial leather is a material that is used as a substitute for leather in fabric, furniture upholstery, footwear, clothing, etc. This type of material is mostly used where the leather finish is desired but the real leather cannot be utilized due to its cost or in the case where real leather is unsuitable. The most frequently used materials for the manufacturing of synthetic leathers include polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride, basically a plastic based material. Low cost and durability are some of the advantages for increasing use of synthetic leather in various end use sectors.
The global synthetic leather market is expected to grow at an exponential rate over the forecast period. The key reason behind the surge in market growth includes the increasing use of synthetic leather in the footwear and clothing industry. Leather is always a luxurious choice for many customers, who like to use it as a fabric for clothing, upholstery, or footwear. However, the increasing prices of genuine leather put limitations on buyers, owing to this demand for synthetic leather is on the rise form the last couple of years. Moreover, growing awareness regarding animal cruelty regulations has drastically shifted the focus of manufacturers toward synthetic leather, which has been one of the major factors contributing to the rapid expansion of the global synthetic leather market.
In addition to this, the benefits associated with synthetic leather especially in the automobile is that it involves minimum maintenance in comparison to genuine leather, also it does not fade or crack easily. Synthetic leather is a very cost-effective and animal-friendly alternative which is why the demand is on the rise in many other end use sectors. However, a disadvantage associated with synthetic leather such as the absence of pores and comfort may hamper the growth of the market. As it does not permit air to pass through the fabric, it allows sweat to accumulate in clothing and car seat coverings. However, innovations to produce more environment friendly materials such as bio-based leathers will provide lucrative growth opportunities to the global synthetic leather market during the forecast period.
COVID-19 pandemic shook the overall leather industry. The Asia Pacific is the largest leather producer region. However, the pandemic affected the regional leather industry market growth to a considerable extent. Yet, the effect of pandemic was seen to be less to moderate on synthetic leather product export. With the unavailability of original leather in the market, market players grab the opportunity to increase the export of artificial leather. Also, increasing demand for synthetic leather in the healthcare industry has also maintained the revenue flow during the pandemic period.
The global synthetic leather market is categorized into material type, application, and region. Based on material type, the global synthetic leather market is bifurcated as polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, and bio-based. The application segment for the market is split into footwear, furnishing, automotive, clothing, bags, sports, and electronics.
