Covid-19 scenario:
- The pandemic severely affected the global GDP, which drastically changed consumer spending patterns.
- Governments of various countries have imposed travel restriction to curb the spread of coronavirus, which affected the supply of raw materials for the manufacturing of leather chemicals. Moreover, the lack of labor, disruption of the supply chain, and delayed shipment negatively affected the production of leather.
- Since the Covid-19 pandemic, export of leather has reduced and the use of leather chemicals for production has decreased.
The tanning and dyeing chemicals segment held the lion’s share
By type, the tanning and dyeing chemicals segment dominated the global leather chemicals market in 2019, contributing to more than two-fifths of the market. This is due to its structural difference and ability to enhance the touch of leather and complementing the growth of tanning and dyeing chemicals. However, the beam house chemicals segment is estimated to manifest the highest CAGR of 6.8% from 2020 to 2027, owing to its properties such as high soaking power, improved skin cleaning capability, application of lower amount of sulfides, and others.
