Stringent animal cruelty regulation, growing awareness regarding various attributes of synthetic leather, and increasing price of natural leathers are key factors driving the market throughout the assessment period.
Superior physical and functional properties of synthetic leather over traditional leather and increasing research and development undertaken to discover cost effective alternatives to natural leather will play a key role in boosting the demand for synthetic leather, says FMI.
Automotive industry is gradually transitioning from natural leather to lightweight synthetic leather interiors. Due to increasing demand for lightweight automobiles, sales of synthetic leather are expected to growth significantly over the forecast period.
Lightweight vehicles consume less fuel and offer more mileage, thus contribute in reducing carbon dioxide emission. Research and development has identified a direct correlation between fuel economy and vehicle weight.
This has compelled automotive manufacturers towards reducing curb weight of the automobile and pushed them to adopt lightweight synthetic leather for manufacturing of vehicle seat, doors, dashboard, and steering covers.
Thus top original equipment manufacturers are adopting lighter materials in vehicles, spurring the demand for synthetic leather in automotive industry.

• Synthetic leather sales in Europe is forecast to increase at 3.60% CAGR during the assessment period, backed by booming fashion and automotive industries in Western Europe region and growing awareness regarding negative impact of leather tanning on environment among the population.

Competitive Landscape
According to FMI, the global synthetic leather market is fairly consolidated, in which leading players account for two fifth of the market value share as of 2021. Emergence of new start-ups and regional players is expected to make market highly competitive in upcoming years.
Top market players are adopting organic growth strategies such as the introduction of new and advanced materials to strengthen their position in this evolving market.

Manufacturers are forming strategic partnerships and collaboration to gain market advantage and survive in this highly competitive market. For instance, in 2021, Natural Fiber Welding Inc. (NFW) joined hands with San Francisco-based footwear brand Allbirds for developing bio-based synthetic leather and reduce its prices.
