According to TechSci Research report, “Leatherette Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Leatherette Market stood at USD 5.61 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 4.20% through 2030. Initiatives taken by government based on leatherette has led to favorable market conditions for the Global Leatherette Market. Several factors contribute to the growth of various leatherette products.
Recent R&D efforts have led to the development of next-generation polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride formulations that offer improved durability, elasticity, breathability, and resistance to wear and environmental stress. These advancements are particularly beneficial in industries such as automotive and furniture, where materials must withstand prolonged use while maintaining a premium look. Moreover, the leatherette industry is witnessing a growing emphasis on sustainability-driven R&D. In response to rising environmental concerns and demand for eco-friendly products, companies are exploring bio-based and plant-derived alternatives to traditional petrochemical materials.
One key area of focus is the promotion of eco-friendly alternatives to traditional leather. Many governments have implemented policies to reduce environmental impact and support the development of synthetic, cruelty-free materials. This includes funding for research and development in bio-based or recyclable alternatives to PVC and PU-based leatherette, aligning with global sustainability goals. In addition, incentives and tax benefits are being offered to domestic manufacturers of synthetic leather to boost local production and reduce dependence on imports.
