Burnaby, Canada, July 12, 2014 --(PR.com)-- As per a recently published TechSci Research report, “India Leather Chemicals Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019”, the country’s leather chemicals market revenues are projected to reach INR2,800 crore (USD465 million) by 2019. Increasing demand for leather products is positively influencing the leather chemicals market in India. Chemicals required at different stages of leather processing, i.e., beamhouse, tanning and finishing, are expected to witness growing demand over the next five years.

Consequently, Indian leather manufacturers are increasingly using chemicals that comply with the existing European norms, which continues to boost the domestic demand for leather chemicals in the country.

In India, the leather industry is among the top ten foreign exchange earners. The industry was valued at around USD18 billion, with exports standing at around USD4.2 billion in 2013. The leather industry has witnessed a CAGR of around 15% over 2009-13 and this growth trend is expected to continue in coming years, thereby continuing to augment leather chemicals demand in the country. Presently, few of the major players involved in leather chemicals market in India include BASF, Stahl Holdings and TFL.

“In India’s leather chemicals market, finishing chemicals segment is projected to witness highest growth during the next five years.
