Global Fish Leather Market by Type (Salmon, Perch, Wolfish and Cod); By Application (Clothing, Footwear, Accessories and Others.) and Region –Analysis of Market Size, Share and Trends for 2014 – 2019 and Forecasts to 2030

Product Overview

An uncommon form of leather is the fish skin. The surfaces of the skin are often extremely thin. Due to the glass bead-like skin surface structure, items made from stingray leather have increased in popularity in recent years. Indeed, the emergence of fish farms has increased the supply of fish leather for different species, because otherwise the skins would be wasted. Fish leather is stronger than other types of leather when compared with the same thickness. This is because the fish skin's fiber structure runs cross-sectional, rather than parallel as in. Fish leather's tensile strength is up to 90 Newton. The manufacturing theory for the development of fish leather was developed by Eastern Siberian Nanai people, who traditionally make fish leather garments. It takes about a month for the tanning process. The following skins are ideal for making leather fish: shark, salmon, carp, stingray, cod, sea-wolf, and sturgeon. Fish leather has a scaly texture, is finer than calfskin, and is considered very elastic and resistant to tears.

Market Highlights

Global Fish Leather Market size was registered at USD XX billion in 2019 and is estimated to reach USD XX billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2020 to 2030. The fish leather processing process is environmentally friendly because it uses clean hydro- and geothermal resources. The resulting material is long-lasting and durable and thus contributes to the development of the leather fish industry. As a natural product, it will ultimately biodegrade so it will not pollute the earth like synthetic products for 1000's years, which is an additional factor for the growth of the market for fish leather. It's probably several times stronger than sheep or cow leather. Fish skin leather has a lovely and elegant 3-dimensional surface. In particular, the burbot has a unique pattern that gives each product a distinctive, identifiable feel. The fish skin leather is long-lasting in use and the items are a true long-lasting delight. In addition to longevity, vegetable-tanned fish skin is a natural alternative to other forms of leather and is also sustainable in its manufacture and raw materials.

Global Fish Leather Market Dynamics:

Various applications and environmental concerns to increase the market growth

Fish skin leather has a lovely and elegant 3-dimensional surface. In particular, the burbot has a unique pattern that gives each product a distinctive, identifiable feel. The fish skin leather is long-lasting in use and the items are a true long-lasting delight. In addition to longevity, vegetable-tanned fish skin is a natural alternative to other forms of leather and is also sustainable in its manufacture and raw materials.

As a natural product, it will ultimately biodegrade so it will not pollute the earth like synthetic products for 1000's years, which is an additional factor for the growth of the market for fish leather.

High prices of fish leather and limited size to hinder the market growth

Compared with mammalian leathers, ready-made fish skin leathers are scarcely available and there are few producers and small operators. Leather from fish skin is often more costly than leather from mammals of the same size. The limited size of several items involves the stitching of several pieces of leather and good design to reduce material wastage. Different species of fish have very different skin types, and the consistency varies from producer to producer. Impressions and assumptions regarding odour and fragility are affected by many decisions not to use leather from fish skin. These factors are expected in the forecast period to impede the Global Fish Leather Market

Global Fish Leather Market: Regions

In terms of value and volume, North America accounted for XX% of total market volume share in 2019

Water-resistant salmon leather was used in bags, parkas, and clothing in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest of the North American region. Although fish leather currently accounts for less than 1 % of total global leather sales, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is promoting its growing production as a means of boosting the incomes of fishing communities worldwide. Increased supply of fish leather can also decrease demand for snake and alligator skins, which may come from endangered species. An increase in the use of fish skins could also see less need for cow leather in the longer term.

The region segment can be further divided into five major types including North America, Latin America, Europe, APAC, and MENA.
