Definition and Composition

Synthetic leather, also referred to as faux leather, artificial leather, or vegan leather, is designed to mimic the look and feel of natural leather without being derived from animals. This aligns with ethical and environmental considerations. Made from synthetic components such as polyurethane (PU), nylon, silicone, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), synthetic leather offers a cost-effective alternative to genuine leather. It is easier to cut, sew, and can be customized in various textures and patterns, ensuring durability and a long lifespan.

The market for synthetic leather is expanding due to increasing demand for sustainable materials, growing use in the automotive and footwear sectors, and lower production costs compared to natural leather. However, consumer preference for natural products and limited availability of some synthetic materials pose challenges to market growth.
