According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Bonded Leather Market is growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. Bonded leather is a synthetic material made by combining leftover scraps of real leather with a bonding agent, usually polyurethane or latex. These leather fibers are processed into sheets, which are then coated with a layer of polyurethane or similar materials to give them a smooth, uniform appearance. Bonded leather typically contains a significant percentage of recycled leather but is more affordable and durable than genuine leather.
According to a report published by a Portugal-based provider of statistics on the footwear sector worldwide, in august 2022, sales of the leather products and saddler business increased by 16% in the first quarter of 2022.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Growing demand in upholstery and furniture
As consumers seek stylish and durable options at lower prices, bonded leather offers an attractive alternative to genuine leather. It is increasingly used in sofas, chairs, and other upholstered furniture due to its cost-effectiveness, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Manufacturers also benefit from bonded leather's versatility, which allows for a wide range of textures, colors, and designs. This trend boosts market growth by making bonded leather a preferred choice in both residential and commercial furniture.
Restraint:
Lower perceived quality
Bonded leather is often perceived as lower quality due to its composition of recycled leather fibers mixed with adhesives, which can make it less durable and prone to wear over time. This perception of inferior quality compared to genuine leather hampers its market growth, especially in premium segments where consumers prioritize longevity and authenticity. As a result, some buyers may opt for higher-end materials, limiting the adoption of bonded leather in luxury or high-performance products.
Opportunity:
Expansion in automotive industry
Bonded leather is widely used for seating, trim, dashboards, and other interior features due to its durability, aesthetic appeal, and affordability compared to genuine leather. As automakers focus on providing luxurious yet affordable interiors, bonded leather offers a viable alternative to traditional leather. Furthermore, the growing trend of electric and eco-friendly vehicles, which prioritize sustainable materials, boosts the adoption of bonded leather in vehicle production, further propelling market growth.
Threat:
Environmental concerns with chemicals
Environmental concerns with bonded leather stem from the chemicals used in its manufacturing process, such as adhesives and coatings, which may contain harmful substances like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and plastics. These chemicals can have negative environmental impacts during production, disposal, or recycling. . Companies are pressured to develop greener alternatives, but the transition can be costly and challenging, slowing market expansion.
Covid-19 Impact
The covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted the bonded leather market by disrupting manufacturing processes, supply chains, and raw material availability. Consumer spending declined during the economic downturn, leading to reduced demand for non-essential goods like furniture and fashion accessories made from bonded leather. However, as the economy gradually recovered and the demand for eco-friendly, affordable materials increased, the market showed signs of rebound. The rise in home-based activities and e-commerce also contributed to modest growth in certain segments.
The bonded leather rolls segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The bonded leather rolls segment is predicted to secure the largest market share throughout the forecast period. Bonded leather rolls are large, flexible sheets made from recycled leather fibers combined with bonding agents. They offer an affordable, eco-friendly alternative to genuine leather, providing similar texture and appearance at a lower cost. Bonded leather rolls are versatile, durable, and can be easily cut, sewn, or molded, making them ideal for both mass production and customized applications.
The footwear segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The footwear segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to its affordability, durability, and eco-friendly properties. It is commonly used for making insoles, linings, and uppers in shoes, offering a leather-like appearance and texture at a lower cost than genuine leather. Its versatility allows manufacturers to create fashionable, lightweight, and sustainable footwear options. The growing consumer demand for eco-conscious and budget-friendly products has contributed to the rising use of bonded leather in footwear applications.
Region with largest share:
Asia Pacific is expected to register the largest market share during the forecast period driven by increasing consumer demand for affordable, eco-friendly products. Countries like China, India, and Japan are key markets, with rising urbanization and middle-class populations fueling demand for bonded leather in furniture, automotive interiors, fashion, and accessories. Additionally, the availability of cost-effective manufacturing and a large workforce further strengthens the region's position as a key player in the global bonded leather industry.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is expected to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period fuelled by growing consumer interest in sustainable and cost-effective alternatives to genuine leather. The United States and Canada are key markets, where bonded leather is widely used in furniture, fashion, and automotive industries. Additionally, rising consumer awareness about environmental issues and the availability of bonded leather at competitive prices are driving the adoption of this material in various sectors across North America.
