Market Insights & Analysis: Global Plant-Based Leather Market (2025-30):
The Global Plant-Based Leather Market size was valued at around USD79 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD125 million by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 8% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30.
The rise in strict regulations and animal welfare programs has led to a ban on products from various industries, which primarily include the leather industry. The raw products, such as the skin and hides of the leather industry are obtained from slaughtering animals such as cows, crocodiles, etc. This leads to the extinction of endangered species. In recent years, the innovation and advancements in industries such as textile, leather, and others have increased, leading to sustainable materials such as plant-based leather. Plant-based leather is supported by the government as it easily decomposes within 2 to 5 years, whereas conventional leather takes many years to decompose, releasing toxic waste into landfills. Thus, this has influenced the consumers to incline towards plant-based leather and its products.

Moreover, plant-based leather is obtained from the waste produced by factories and agricultural farms. Such as pineapple leather, which is manufactured from the leaves of the pineapple, a waste produced on the farm. Along with the increase in fashion trends, footwear, accessories, and others have generated the opportunity for innovation and advancement in technology, further fueling the plant-based leather product market. Plant-based products are already trendsetters in the market. Thus, they are liked by a large number of consumers because of their distinctive properties such as antifungal, durability, etc., over animal-based leather products. Plant-based leather products' raw materials are biodegradable and cruelty-free, and the government aids in boosting the demand for plant-based leather products globally.
Global Plant-Based Leather Market Driver:
Growing Concerns Regarding Animal Slaughtering & Extinction – Globally, billions of animals, including cows, pigs, goats, alligators, snakes, crocodiles, elephants, and various others, are slaughtered for their skin and hide. Animals have to endure the entire torturous process of scouring, including confinement, branding, tail-docking, and others, until they are killed in brutal manners just for their skin and hide, which later on is converted into leather. As per Animal Australia for the kinder world in 2024, over 150,000 crocodiles are killed annually, resulting in the loss of animal life. Thus, raising the need to seek an alternative to produce leather.
Moreover, premium quality leather is obtained from exotic animals such as elephants, sharks, kangaroos, alligators, and several others. According to NPR, an American broadcasting organization, in January 2025, Australia’s largest species of kangaroos had been endangered by approximately 90%. As a solution, the leather manufacturers have initiated the production of leather from plant derivatives such as cactus, pineapple, and others. Additionally, the government and international organizations such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and others are supporting the production of plant-based leather and products. Hence, conserving the animal species on the edge of extinction, and boosting the production of plant-based markets, globally.
