Market Insight:

The global vegan leather market was valued at USD 112.45 million in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 280.61 million in 2032, with a CAGR of more than 10.90% during the forecast period 2024-2032.

Plastic-based materials such as polyvinyl chloride or PVC and polyurethane are widely used to make vegan leather. Vegan leather is thinner than real leather and more lightweight. This makes vegan leather great for fashion and in essence, makes it easier to work with. Furthermore, innovative companies are coming out of the woodwork, introducing a new kind of leather-like material. Mushrooms, pineapples, and active cultures have all been tapped to produce a more sustainable future for fashion. As people are increasingly growing aware of the leather industry's effects on the environment and animals, the market for cruelty-free alternatives is growing. Several brands are out there trying to make vegan leather as low-impact as possible by using plants to create leather-like fabrics.

The number of people adopting vegan culture has increased significantly due to the increasing awareness about animal cruelty along with the rising ethical and environmental concerns among consumers. Due to this transformation in consumer trends, fashion houses are intensively searching for a viable, animal-free leather alternative. This, in turn, has increased the demand for vegan leather. Further, owing to increasing concerns over the leather industry's environmental impact, vegan leathers such as high-grade artificial leathers and those derived from recycled polyesters are gaining prominence in the market. However, the high R&D cost of manufacturing biodegradable vegan leather is expected to moderately restrain the growth of the vegan leather market. Nevertheless, the growing adoption of vegan leather by key textile, and footwear manufacturers such as Gucci, Dior, and Zara will generate fruitful opportunities for emerging players in the vegan leather industry.

Geographically, North America holds the maximum share in the global vegan leather market. The rising demand for natural ingredients together with the rising inclination of consumers towards vegan/vegetarian products are factors anticipated to support the growth of the North American vegan leather market over the forecast period. Furthermore, Europe is the second-largest market for vegan leather owing to the increasing demand for animal-free and eco-friendly alternative products. The European region offers a substantial potential for market growth owing to rapid growth in markets such as U.K and France. The Asia Pacific region acquires a considerable share of the vegan leather market owing to rapid growth in markets such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea. China is the largest vegan leather market in the Asia Pacific, owing to robust growth in the automotive and footwear end-user industries in the country.
