The growing demand from the leather industry is anticipated to drive the expansion of the tannin market in the future. The leather industry involves processing animal hides and skins into leather and producing various leather goods, such as clothing, footwear, and accessories. This demand is influenced by evolving fashion trends, the growth of the automotive sector, increased interest in premium home furnishings, and advances in sustainable leather production methods. Tannin plays a crucial role in the leather industry as a primary ingredient in the tanning process. It helps transform raw animal hides into durable, flexible leather by binding with the proteins in the hides to prevent decay and enhance the material's strength and quality. For example, in July 2024, the CBI Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a Netherlands-based governmental organization, reported that the value of leather accessory imports into Europe rose to €2.97 billion ($3.24 billion) in 2022, up from €2.74 billion ($2.99 billion) in 2021, indicating increased demand. Thus, the growing demand from the leather industry is fueling the expansion of the tannin market.

Leading companies in the tannin market are concentrating on developing innovative products, including sustainable tan leather that is both environmentally friendly and safe for consumers.
