Leather chemicals are required at different stages of leather processing such as beam house, tanning and finishing, and drum dyeing to enhance water resistance, appearance, flexibility or heat resistance. The primary forces behind the increasing demand for various leather made products such as apparels, footwear, garments, furniture and automotive are growing consumer affluence, fast changing fashion trends, growth in tourism industry and increasing consumers’ awareness about luxury products. Less harmful chemical substitutes hold significant potential for growth in the future.
