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.
