Global outlook of the leather tanning machinery market

Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global leather tanning machinery market to grow steadily in the next four years and post a CAGR of almost 4% by 2020. This industry research report identifies the use of anaerobic digesters to produce biogas from tannery wastes to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of this market in the coming years. Traditional leather tanning techniques produce large amounts of organic and chemical pollutants. Wastes generated during leather processing also pose a serious challenge to the environment, inducing countries to take initiatives to control the use of leather products. Anaerobic digestion is an attractive method that can be used to recover energy from tannery wastes. The method involves the degradation of the organic matter contained in the sludge and tannery solid wastes, resulting in the generation of biogas. The stabilized residue can then be used as a low-grade fertilizer. This reduces the adverse impacts of leather tanning process on the environment and propels the demand for leather, in turn, driving the demand for leather tanning machinery.

The rise in adoption of enzyme-assisted soaking will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in this market during the predicted period. Enzyme-assisted soaking processes improve the product's quality and also reduces production costs and the tanning process’ impact on the environment. Enzymes or alkaline proteases can also be used during leather processing and helps in the recovery of chromium and fatty material from waste such as cuttings, flesh waste, and shavings. This will drive the increased adoption of leather tanning process that consecutively fuels the growth of this market.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

Due to the presence of several major and small vendors, this market appears to be highly fragmented. The market has the presence of international players that have a footprint in various countries as well as regional vendors who have a confined local reach. Leather tanning machines are quite expensive and the price increases based on the load capacity. This poses as a barrier to small-scale leather tanning companies and has resulted in the existence of a market for refurbished machines. These vendors who offer refurbished and reconditioned tanning machines pose a stiff challenge to vendors offering new machines.

The leading vendors in the market are -

• Aletti Giovanni & Figli
• Cartigliano
• Fratelli Carlessi
• Gozzini
• Poletto

The other prominent vendors in the market are Bergi, Ficini-Dueffe, Gemata, Macchi & Salvadori, Thema System, and Turner.
