environmental hazards associated with use of normal leather is driving the Bio-Based Leather Market

Latest News:- Bio-Based Leather Market: Footwear is expected to lead the Application segment during 2024-2028

Technavio analyzes that the Bio-Based Leather Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 227.7 million.There are various factors that contribute to the growth of the market. The production and use of traditional leather have been identified as posing significant environmental risks. These hazards include the release of chromium hexavalent compounds during tanning, which can contaminate water sources and harm aquatic life. Additionally, the industry's high water consumption and energy usage contribute to substantial carbon emissions. The shift towards bio-based leather, derived from renewable sources, offers a more sustainable alternative, mitigating these environmental concerns.

In response to growing concerns over the environmental impact of traditional leather production, which includes high energy and water consumption, emissions, and waste generation, the demand for bio-based leather is surging. This eco-friendly alternative is derived from renewable sources, making it not only sustainable but also biodegradable. Moreover, it offers the same desirable properties as conventional leather, such as breathability, scratch resistance, and durability. The USDA and National Organic Program have established regulations ensuring the ethical sourcing of raw materials, using animals raised on organic feeds and tanned in certified organic facilities, where plant-based tanning agents are employed. This approach addresses ecological concerns, reduces animal exploitation, and aligns with consumer preferences for sustainable and ethical products.
