Market Dynamics

Owing to its wear-resistant properties and soft texture artificial leather is commonly used in the footwear industry. Artificial leather gives a lighter look than natural leather, is resistant to folding, cheaper than natural leather, waterproof, and resistant to alkali and acid. This can be used in footwear production, such as boots for use in the chemicals and other industries because of its chemical resistant quality. Also, artificial leather is cost-effective and easier to make in comparison with natural leather. In the footwear industry, the major factor responsible for the rising adoption of artificial leather is the obsoletion of natural leather made from skin or animal hide. Several countries have come up with laws to regulate the slaughtering of animals for the manufacture of natural leather, such as Directive 94/11/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU), Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 of the European Union (EU), 40 CFR 425 of document 61 FR 35680 of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Legge 1112 and Legge 8 of Italy for the regulation of the usage of the words "leather" and "fur" and the word derived from them, Decree 3289/1974 in Spain, Consumer Protection Act 2008 (68/2008) in South Africa, among several others. Italy for the regulation of the usage of the words "leather" and "fur" and the word derived from them, Decree 3289/1974 in Spain, Consumer Protection Act 2008 (68/2008) in South Africa, among several others. Throughout the years, these regulations have resulted in an increase in the production of artificial leather in order to satisfy the increasing demand in a variety of application areas.
