Impact of COVID-19 on Synthetic Leather Market
Asia Pacific is the largest manufacturer of leather and synthetic leather. The leather industry has been adversely affected during COVID-19 which has, opened up avenues of opportunities for synthetic leather. According to the Financial Express, industry experts gradually realize that the focus should now be on non-leather footwear exports, as varieties of non-leather footwear accounts for 86% of the total footwear consumption. This was the observation of a cross-section of domestic footwear makers. Recently, there has been a rise in demand for synthetic leather from the makeshift hospitals and healthcare institutes all around the world for beds and furniture to facilitate various patients suffering from COVID-19 and other diseases. These beds and other furniture mostly have medical-grade synthetic leather coverings and are antibacterial or antifungal in nature. In the case of the automotive industry, it has faced a major setback as the sales of the cares have dropped in the first half of the year, which has indirectly affected the demand for synthetic leather as it is mostly used in making the interiors of the cars. In addition, the fluctuation in the raw material prices of synthetic leather has also affected its market.
Synthetic Leather Market Dynamics
Driver: No Animal Killing Involved
According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), more than a billion animals are slaughtered for their skin and hides every year. Most of the genuine leather comes from emerging economies such as China and India, where animal welfare laws are not enforced properly. However, stringent laws are likely to be enforced in Asia Pacific and the rest of the world, which will increase the demand for substitutes of pure leather. Thus, companies are focusing on alternatives to genuine leather, which is generally called synthetic leather. Synthetic leather does not involve killing animals, and manmade ingredients are used for its manufacturing.
Restraint: Harmful Effects of PU and PVC on Humans
Raw materials such as polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) used to manufacture synthetic leather are harmful to human and animal health and the surrounding environment. PU is an isocyanate, which possesses potential harm to the lungs, as it causes asthma attacks and lung irritation. It irritates the skin and also causes difficulty in breathing due to lung infection. Workers in PU manufacturing plants are often exposed to polyurethane fumes that result in several health disorders such as vomiting, upset stomach, and dizziness.
PVC contains various toxic carcinogens such as vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), phthalates, and dioxin. Dioxin is highly toxic and harmful, and it is generally released when the plastic that contains chlorine is burned. Thus, the toxic nature of PVC and PU production process act as a major restraint for the synthetic leather market.
Opportunity: Focus on Development of bio-based synthetic leather
The manufacture of bio-based synthetic leather does not have any harmful traits. Manufacturers should focus on commercializing synthetic leather production by natural fibers such as flax or fibers of cotton mixed with palm, soybean, corn, and other plants. A new product in the synthetic leather market, called “Pinatex,” is being made from pineapple leaves. The fiber present in these leaves has the strength and flexibility needed for the manufacturing process. Pineapple leaves are considered a waste product, and thus, they are used to upscale them into something of value without using many resources. Shoes, handbags, and other accessories made of pineapple fibers have already hit the marketplace. Considering the growing government and environmental regulations regarding the usage of harmful toxic chemicals in the European Union and North America, bio-based synthetic leather can prove a major opportunity for synthetic leather manufacturers.
Challenge: Non-biodegradability of synthetic leather
Synthetic leather is made out of petrochemicals, which makes it non-biodegradable or sustainable. It takes a very long time to biodegrade and break down and produce micro-plastics. PVC and polyurethane are the most common materials used for synthetic leather but are criticized for their carbon-intensive footprint and lack of biodegradability. Polyurethane synthetic leathers take 500 years to decompose. They are safer to burn as they contain significantly lower levels of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) than vinyl. Full and top grain leather, on the other hand, decomposes after only 50 years since it's made from organic material.

“PVC-based leather is the second largest type for synthetic leather market in 2019”
PVC-based leather is a major alternative to real leather. It is produced by replacing the hydrogen group with the chloride group in the vinyl group. This product is then blended with chemicals to create synthetic leather. The major raw material used in this process is PVC. PVC-based leather was the first synthetic leather created in the 1920s. It is considered to be high strength and resistive to various climatic conditions. It is an easy-to-maintain and clean material and is therefore highly preferred in various industries.
“Automotive is projected to be the second-fastest growing end-use industry in synthetic leather market between 2020 and 2025.”
Synthetic leather is widely used in the automotive industry for various vehicles such as buses, cars, trucks, motorcycles, and agricultural vehicles. The major application of synthetic leather in the automotive industry is for seat upholstery. It is also used for various other parts such as steering wheel covers, door trims, knob & gear bot covers, sun visors & hoods, and roof linings. Its high elasticity makes the seats comfortable and resistant to cold and hot temperatures.
“Asia Pacific is the leading synthetic leather market, globally in terms of value and volume.”
The Asia Pacific mainly consists of major emerging nations such as China and India. Considering this scenario, the future for the development of most of the industries are high in the region. The synthetic leather market grows at a significant rate and offers opportunities for various manufacturers. The Asia Pacific region has a share of approximately 61.0% of the world’s population, and the manufacturing and processing vertical are growing at a faster pace in the region. The Asia Pacific is the leading synthetic leather market with China being the major market, which has a positive growth outlook.
