Synthetic Leather Industry Overview
The global synthetic leather market size was valued at USD 33.7 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0% from 2022 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 important type of synthetic leather that has grown in popularity due to its diverse variety of uses, which include shopping bags, cosmetic bags, wallets, suitcases, purses, and travel bags. It is used in various applications including fabrics, footwear, clothing, upholstery, and others where a leather-like finish is required, and the material is unusable, unsuitable, and cost-prohibitive. The production process has evolved over the past few years for the shell coating to go on top of the synthetic polymer blend.

However, the recent spread of the coronavirus across the globe has drastically impacted the demand for synthetic leather owing to the several preventive measures taken by various governments to limit the spread of the pandemic. This has led to the fall in the demand and trade of synthetic leather across the globe and is expected to have a negative impact on the market growth in the coming years. Emerging regional markets such as China, India, Brazil, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam are expected to play a major role in the product demand. Extensive usage of synthetic leather in the footwear industry in several other regional markets is also expected to contribute to the growth of the global industry over the next few years.
