Market Intelligence returned on May 30 with its customary frank analysis of the situation in the leather industry. By Leatherbiz.
This time, we have a hopeful message about leather’s prospects for replacing plastic. The arguments in favour of leather as a better choice in many applications than problematic plastic are clear, but as Market Intelligence points out, consumer-facing companies, especially those that have courted vegan customers in recent years, will need to show a bit of courage to return to leather.
That’s for the future. Less optimistically, the report also puts a figure on the decline in leather production in the current market. Its calculation is that production in Europe is, on average, at 60% of capacity at the moment.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
