Dublin, April 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Global Bio-based Leather Market” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The Global Bio-based Leather Market is expected to grow from USD 668.6 million in 2023 to USD 902.4 million by the end of 2028, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.20% from 2023 through 2028.
Bio-based leather is emerging as a key disruptor in the global leather industry. This innovative material is attracting significant attention due to its animal cruelty-free and eco-friendly nature, thus holds immense potential to revolutionize the global fashion sector. Nowadays, research is focused on environmentally conscious and even vegan material in the fashion industry, as these are believed to have the potential to play a key role in building the future of fashion and fabrics.
At present, the overall bio-based leather market is at a niche stage; however, it is expected to register rapid growth during the upcoming years, led by expanding application areas, material developments and rising consumer awareness. Bio-based leather holds incredible potential in terms of sustainability, performance, durability, diversity and application space.
In recent years, mainly as the post-pandemic phase began, there has been a major shift in preference for sustainable and vegan materials. In addition, in light of strict environmental regulations across Western countries, the willingness to adopt new-generation materials has also surged. As a result, businesses and governments are actively seeking to lower their dependency on environmentally harmful products (Baliwan and Diwan 2021). Bio-based leather is viewed as a key means of reducing dependency on natural and plastic-based leather, which are increasingly seen as supporting animal cruelty and being toxic for the environment. (Kefale, et al. 2023)
Growth in the bio-based leather market is also being driven by novel technologies that are substantially advanced and thus are able to meet desired application requirements for performance, durability, texture, color and other factors. Finally, bio-based leather is also experiencing rising demand across application sectors such as footwear, accessories and clothing. Major luxury brands such as Stella McCartney, Gucci, BMW and Hugo Boss, among others, have collaborated with bio-based leather manufacturers to develop innovative products.
