Synthetic Leather Market Size & Trends

The global synthetic leather market size was estimated at USD 38.98 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.87% from 2024 to 2030. Globally increasing demand from the footwear sector is expected to be a key factor propelling the overall market growth. The high cost of natural leather is another factor that has driven the need for natural leather replacements. PVC leather is another essential type of synthetic leather that has grown in popularity due to its diverse uses, including shopping bags, cosmetic bags, wallets, suitcases, purses, and travel bags.

U.S. Synthetic Leather Market size and growth rate, 2024 - 2030

The U.S. synthetic leather market has witnessed a considerable rise in consumption in the recent past. A further increase in consumption is anticipated over the next few years. Significant rise in demand for automotive synthetic leather upholstery is expected to propel the overall market in the U.S. Initiatives taken to strengthen the supply chain are projected to positively impact the market in the U.S. over the forecast period.

Uniroyal Engineered Products LLC, Coaters Inc. Leather, and Textileather Corporation are among the few manufacturers of synthetic leather in the U.S. General Motors, Fiat Chrysler, and Ford are the three largest automotive manufacturers in the U.S., who contribute to the heavy demand for synthetic leather for car interiors.

Footwear was the largest application segment for synthetic leather in 2023. The footwear industry has witnessed a significant growth in recent years owing to the rising demand from emerging markets, as consumer spending in the U.S. and some countries in Europe has slowed down slightly owing to the global recession. There has been a strong demand from countries such as China, India, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and other South Asian countries. This is expected to have a major influence on synthetic leather demand in the Asian market.

Market Concentration & Characteristics

The global synthetic leather market is fairly fragmented in nature with the presence of various key players such as Kuraray Co., Ltd.; H.R. Polycoats Pvt. Ltd.; Alfatex Italia SRL; Filwel Co., Ltd.; Yantai Wanhua Synthetic Leather Group Co. as well as a few medium and small regional players operating in different parts of the world. The global players face intense competition from each other as well as from the regional players who have strong distribution networks and good knowledge about suppliers & regulations.

Synthetic Leather Market Concentration & Characteristics

Companies in the market compete on the basis of the application quality offered and the technology used for the application of plastics. Major players, in particular, compete on the basis of application development capability and new technologies used in application formulation. Established players such as Kuraray Co., Ltd. are investing in research & development activities to formulate new and advanced plastics compounds, which gives them a competitive edge over the other players.

To maintain a strong and healthy competitive environment across the market space, the global synthetic leather companies have implemented various strategic initiatives such as acquisition & merger, new application launch, application expansion, and various others. In April 2023, General Silicone launched its new product portfolio of vegan leather. This PETA-approved synthetic leather is designed for use in consumer products such as shoes and bags.

Type Insights

The polyurethane (PU) synthetic leather segment led the market in 2023 with a revenue share of above 60.0%. It has been witnessing promising growth in product quality, variety, and yield. Polyurethane is waterproof, softer, and lighter than genuine leather and can be dry-cleaned and torn more easily than genuine hides. It also remains unaffected by sunlight. In addition, it is an eco-friendly substitute for vinyl-based products as it does not emit dioxins. All these factors are expected to increase its demand further.

The PVC synthetic leather segment is expected to grow slowly during the forecast period. PVC was the first form of synthetic leather created in 1920. It was initially produced with carcinogenic chemicals and proved to be an ideal material for applications in furnishing and household items. PVC faced significant competition from PU as PVC gave a sticky feel and could not retain body heat. As a result, its demand decreased in the clothing and bag application segment.

The bio-based product consists of polyester polyol and has 70-75% renewable content. It is softer and has better scratch resistance properties than PU and PVC. Key companies in the global market are focusing on developing new products through collaboration with polyol producers. Rapid industrialization and constant R&D will continue to supplement the segment's growth in the upcoming years.

Application Insights

The footwear segment led the market with a revenue share of above 33.0% in 2023. The use of synthetic leather in footwear is getting nearer to genuine leather, and it is increasingly replacing genuine leather in applications in handbags, briefcases, car furnishings, and clothing. Rising income levels and economic growth, especially in emerging nations, have fueled the demand for footwear. In addition, the segment is led by variations occurring in climatic conditions of different regions, which need different types of footwear.

Synthetic leather is widely used to manufacture shoe uppers, shoe lining, and soles for sports shoes, formal shoes, flip flops, soccer shoes, sandals, slippers, and boots. These shoes also are cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and long-lasting. Synthetic leather shoes possess higher water resistance than genuine leather shoes, which can get stained due to exposure to certain elements. Faux leather shoes are durable enough to be used for a more extended period when walking or running.

Global Synthetic Leather Market share and size, 2023

The increasing athleisure trend of incorporating athletic shoes into the daily lifestyle is also expected to propel segment growth. The price of faux leather footwear products is three times cheaper than the ones made from animal hide, boosting segment growth. The furnishing industry is also one of the major application areas for synthetic leather as it has become more affordable than animal hides.

There is a wide range of synthetic leather materials available in the market that serve varied requirements of the furnishing industry in terms of color, texture, and fabric look. Moreover, such artificial alternatives can be used in marine furnishing as it is saltwater resistant. Faux leather is used in cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, and agricultural vehicles as it is lighter than animal hides. Polyurethane is the most widely used material in the automotive sector as it is non-sticky and softer than other products. The wallets, bags, and purses segment are estimated to witness significant growth over the coming years due to the high product demand. Using faux leather enables the production of lightweight, breathable, scratch- and water-proof, and easy-to-maintain bags.

The application of synthetic leather in manufacturing wallets, bags, and purses has increased significantly in recent years. Synthetic leather is extremely popular since it is softer than natural leather and has high durability. Synthetic leather wallets, bags, and purses are easy to maintain as they are lightweight, breathable, waterproof, and scratchproof. The lower cost of synthetic leather has also been a significant factor driving the demand in this market. Baggit, Solo, Zara, Lavie World, and Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc. are some brands that use synthetic leather to create a wide selection of elegant and trendy bags. With the evolving textile technology, consumers prefer vegan fashion, which refers to adopting non-leather products. Thus, synthetic leather serves as the most suitable alternative in textile applications. PU synthetic leather is also used in clothing, where it is used to create spandex and add buoyancy to competitive swimsuits.

Regional Insights

The Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2023 with a revenue share of above 44.0%. China, India, and South Korea are expected to be the significant growth-driving economies in APAC. Rising disposable income, coupled with the increasing population, will provide numerous opportunities for the market. China is one of the prominent markets for leather in terms of production and sales.

Synthetic Leather Market Trends, by Region, 2024 - 2030

However, the coronavirus outbreak has severely affected the country’s manufacturing output. Several manufacturers have either closed or slowed down their operations to contain the spread of the virus. Limited production in the manufacturing industry due to a halt or slowdown in operations, limitations on the supply and transportation in the country, and infrastructure slowdown are anticipated to negatively affect the demand for synthetic leather from the end-use application in the near future.

The market in North America is expected to grow at a slow rate on account of the saturation of more prominent domestic fashion brands. There have been growing concerns from animal rights organizations such as PETA, WWF, and others, resulting in growth restraints in the leather market. The demand for synthetic leather goods in the region has increased.

The European market witnessed significant growth owing to the flourishing automobile and consumer appliances sectors in the region. Amid the global crisis, governments in the region are focusing on bio-based, low-cost, and long-lasting products. This factor is expected to fuel the market growth for synthetic leather in this region.

Synthetic Leather Market Dynamics

Drivers: Growing Demand for Footwear Sector

The footwear industry has witnessed significant growth in recent years owing to the rising demand from emerging markets, as consumer spending in the U.S. and some countries in Europe has slowed down slightly owing to the global recession. There has been a strong demand from countries such as China, India, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and other South Asian countries. This is expected to have a major influence on synthetic leather demand in the Asian market. Increasing investment by foreign players will further propel industry penetration in emerging economies shortly. Luxury brands have been among the first to respond to global consumer spending shifts. In 2016, brands like Prada opened 27 new stores in Asia Pacific, which amounts to approximately 35% of the total number of stores of the brand. Such initiatives are expected to play a crucial role in improving the market penetration of synthetic leather brands over the next few years.

Viable Alternative to Natural Leather

Natural leather is obtained mostly by animal killing and various guidelines and laws are newly established by countries to protect animal rights. This has become a major hurdle for natural leather manufacturers in several countries. Growing awareness among consumers regarding animal exploitation, aided by programs run by organizations such as PETA, plays a major role in increasing the demand for leather alternatives. The growing supply-demand gap in the natural leather industry is majorly responsible for manufacturers opting for synthetic leather. Another major driving factor is its cheaper manufacturing cost. The cost of production of synthetic leather is less than that of natural leather and has an easier manufacturing process. This leads to increased investment in synthetic leather and helps improve overall market penetration. Manufacturing activities of natural leather, especially tanning, lead to pollution which is another major reason leading to the shift in preference toward synthetic leather. Stringent environmental laws and government regulations have been influential in promoting the demand for synthetic leather.

Restraints: Damaging Effects of PVC and PU

PVC is derived from plastic sources and contains carcinogens and other toxic chemicals that can transfer to the user’s skin through contact. Furthermore, PVC has a very slow rate of biodegradation and therefore harms the environment. Similar toxicity concerns do not apply to PU, as it is only toxic during its production and, once dried and sealed, does not represent a threat as with PVC. The production of PU fabrics can be toxic for factory workers, as it releases harmful chemicals. The production process involves the use of solvents mostly used for painting polyurethane in liquid form on a fabric backing. Solvents required in this process are highly toxic. However, new polyurethane versions use waterborne coatings, which do not have the same kind of damaging impact on the environment as exhibited by other grades. This is expected to be a key aspect in terms of overall product development and sustainability. In addition, synthetic leather made from PU or PVC cannot be remade into leather products, as it does not recycle very well and cannot be reused when it is worn out.
