"PU-based synthetic leather to witness the highest growth rate during forecast period"

PU-based synthetic leather is expected to witness the highest growth rate from 2016 to 2021. PU-based synthetic leather is made with the use of soft polymers, hence it does not require additional plasticizers. It offers many advantages such as, it is waterproof, lighter than real leather, and is comparatively soft. In some cases, the PU-based leather may tear easily, but it does not fade or crack due to exposure to sunlight. It is widely preferred in the automotive, and clothing industries. Polyurethane leather is considered more environment friendly as compared to vinyl based leather, as it does not create dioxins. PU-based leather is more expensive than PVC-based leather, due to the extensive manufacturing process required.

"Asia-Pacific to be the largest and fastest-growing market during forecast period"

The Asia-Pacific region is projected to be the largest and fastest-growing synthetic leather market due to the growing construction and automotive industry in the region. The South American synthetic leather market is also expected to grow at a high rate due to the growing automotive, footwear, and furnishing industries. North America is a significant market for synthetic leather, though is witnessing a moderate growth rate due to the growing concerns regarding killing animals which is reducing the demand for pure leather, and increasing the demand for synthetic leather.
