Synthetic leather Market: Segmental Overview
By type, the Synthetic Leather Market is segmented into polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, silicone, and others. In 2020, the polyurethane segment held the largest market share. Polyurethane-based leather is known for its efficiency and characteristics such as waterproof, lightweight, and soft texture. It does not fade or crack when exposed to sunlight. The upholstery made of polyurethane offers a realistic imitation of genuine leather. The increasing consumption of furniture items made of polyurethane will continue to boost its demand during the forecast period.
Based on application, the synthetic leather market is segmented into footwear, furniture, automotive, clothing, bags purses & wallets, and others. In 2020, the footwear segment held the largest market share. Synthetic leather as a replacement for traditional leather in the footwear industry has increased in the past few years. These are cruelty-free, climate-friendly, and leather-like in feel and appearance, requiring low production cost. The emergence of leather alternatives such as plant and vegan-based leather has prompted footwear brands, such as Adidas, to consider these over animal leather.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Synthetic Leather Market:
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic compelled the implementation of preventive measures that drastically altered the status of the chemicals & materials and negatively impacted the growth of the synthetic leather market. Governments across the globe have ordered the closure of their international ports, further causing disruptions in the synthetic leather supply chain, impacting the operational efficiencies of footwear, automotive, and clothing. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the availability of raw materials to prepare synthetic leather in almost all countries. Polyurethane and polyvinylchloride are the major raw materials in synthetic leather. Many countries worldwide that depend on imports of these raw materials to prepare synthetic leather have faced substantial problems procuring the material. This resulted in partial or complete shutdown of the synthetic leather production sites. However, as the economies are planning to revive their operations, the demand for synthetic leather is expected to rise globally. The expanding demand for synthetic leather and significant investments by prominent manufacturers for bio-based leathers are expected to drive the growth of synthetic leather during the forecast period.
