The innovative marketing strategies are notably driving the market growth, although factors such as fluctuating operational costs may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Leather Goods Market Driver
Innovative marketing strategies is a major factor driving the global leather goods market share growth. The fashion industry has been experiencing rapid advances over the last two decades, mainly due to the increasing number of fashion-conscious customers, especially in developing regions. Most vendors that offer luxury leather goods, such as LVMH, Hermès, and CHANEL SAS advertise their products through newspapers and fashion magazines, instead of television. Manufacturers of leather goods adopt different marketing campaigns and strategies to expand their customer base. Celebrity endorsement is a popular marketing tool used by vendors to build their brand /image and increase the sales of luxury leather goods.
For instance, the promotional strategies employed by LVMH for its products include endorsements by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Kate Moss, Scarlett Johansson, and Uma Thurman. Louis Vuitton sponsors mega sporting events, such as motorsports and yachting. Similarly, the leather goods offered by CHANEL are endorsed by Keira Knightley, Vanessa Paradis, and Nicole Kidman. Online advertising is also an essential part of marketing strategies. Vendors often sign multiyear endorsement agreements with high-profile celebrities to enhance their brand value. These marketing initiatives increase the demand for leather goods.
Significant Leather Goods Market Trend
The advances in manufacturing technology is another factor supporting the global leather goods market share growth. Several processes of leather tanning involve the use of a huge amount of water, which is a natural resource, leading to its scarcity. Some of the chemical manufacturing companies, such as BASF SE, are helping the players in the leather tanning industry in reducing the use and wastage of water. The leather tanning industry requires additional investments for the treatment of wastes to meet the required standard on the volume of discharge.
To address this issue, BASF developed a beam house innovation, called DryFast, to impart efficiency while being ecologically safe. This new process helps reduce water consumption by nearly 60% and produces clean effluents by minimizing sludge by around 50%. Such advancements in manufacturing technology are expected to lower the manufacturing cost, consecutively making leather goods affordable, eco-friendly, and innovative, thereby aiding in the growth of the market.
Major Leather Goods Market Challenge
The fluctuating operational costs will be a major challenge for global leather goods market share growth during the forecast period. In the last decade, labor costs in developing countries, such as China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, have grown rapidly, and they are continuously fluctuating. This is increasing the production cost for vendors that have factories in these countries. Changing economic conditions are also adversely affecting the labor cost in other countries where the vendors import their supplies. Fluctuation in raw material costs is another challenge for global manufacturers.
The process of leather manufacturing includes several steps that are highly regulated, which further increases the price of leather as a raw material. The prices of these materials are also dependent on transportation costs. Transportation costs, which include taxes, duties, and fuel prices, are incurred by manufacturers at different steps, such as the supply of raw materials to factories, the supply of intermediary goods to production sites, the transportation of end-products to warehouses, and the delivery of finished goods to end-users. Due to such reasons, the growth of the market will continue to be hindered during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the footwear segment will be significant during the forecast period. Leather footwear includes products that have upper surfaces made of leather. Vendors are constantly innovating and introducing new patterns and designs due to market competition and evolving customer demand because of continuous changes in the fashion industry. Innovations in leather footwear are in terms of designs and the type of animal skin used. For instance, Hermes offers Valois ankle boots made of smoked-brown calfskin suede. They are equipped with straps, saddle nails, and saddle-style stitching on the diagonal side.

The footwear segment was valued at USD 129.59 billion in 2017 and continue to grow by 2021. In the premium segment, leading vendors offer customized products which have an aesthetic appeal. For instance, Nike, one of the key vendors, offers customized shoes under its Nike By You segment. This allows customers to customize their shoes in terms of color, design of shoe soles, and the printing of custom text. The concept of monogramming and embroidery is also trending in the leather goods segment, especially among women, due to the availability of personalization services such as the Louis Vuitton monogramming service. Such services allow customers to personalize products that are popular. Hence, the products are unique and expensive. They also help distinguish original products from counterfeits. The customization of footwear complements market growth through new purchases. The customization of leather footwear is expected to increase the revenue generated by footwear manufacturers during the forecast period.
