By Product Type

In 2024, tanning emerged as the leading category, capturing around 46% of revenue share of the entire leather chemicals market. This dominance arises mainly from the fact that tanning is essential for the functional conversion of raw hides into physical stable (non-decomposing) hide after stabilizing collagen fibers. The tanning agents, which are mostly chromium-based but more and more are chrome-free or vegetable-based, are vital for making leather soft, strong, and resistant to moisture and heat. As global leather goods production continues to rise, and with increased inter-industry demand for quality and durable materials in footwear, automotive and furniture industries, the demand for tanning agent has increased.

The largest market share in the leather chemicals market is attributable to the footwear segment and stood at 32% of the global revenue in 2024. Such leadership is dictated by the global appetite for leather shoes, sandals, and boots, notably emerging markets where populations are increasing and per capita disposable income is beginning to rise. A number of chemical treatments are involved during processing, such as tanning, softening, dyeing, and finishing of leather footwear to achieve properties like durability, comfort, waterproofness, and aesthetics.
