Biocides For Leather Market Segmentation

Grand View Research has segmented the global biocides for leather market on the basis of product type, process, and region:

Based on the Product Type Insights, the market is segmented into Bactericides, Fungicides.

  • The fungicides product type segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest share of 88.2% in 2020. This high share is attributable to good performance even at fewer dosages and is to be useful in controlling bacteria and fungi in tanneries.
  • Biocides are increasingly being used as fungicides and bactericides to avoid the buildup of fungi, bacteria, and other microbes during several important steps such as soaking, pickling, tanning, cleansing, and finishing in the leather production process.
  • Several research studies have been conducted for developing plant-based fungicides as a replacement for hazardous chemical biocides for application in the leather industry.
  • Biocides such as bactericides are generally used in tanning processes to protect the substrate against bacterial growth and attack. Bactericides are often used in the tannery for the preservation of soaking rather than curing the hides.  Didecyldimethylammonium chloride, a quaternary ammonium salt, is biodegradable and exhibits low toxicity.

Based on the Process Insights, the market is segmented into Curing, Tanning & Dyeing, Beamhouse, Finishing.

  • The tanning and dyeing process segment dominated the market and accounted for the highest volumetric share of 49.7% in 2020. This high share is attributable to the major use of the bactericides in the tanning process in order to protect the substrate against bacterial growth and attack.
  • Biocides applied in tanning applications are non-oxidizing biocides, such as isothiazoles, quaternary ammonium compounds, and halogenated organic compounds, in an amount of about 0.1 to 0.5% by mass of rawhide. 
  • Biocides are often found in wastewater, left out after the tanning process, which is usually flushed down by leather manufacturers to the nearby water bodies leading to an increase in toxicity levels.
  • The beamhouse operations have the second-largest share in the biocide industry involved in the preparation of hides for tanning processes. It involves cleaning of hides by removal of hairs and animal flesh, without disturbing the required moisture content of hides. It involves two processes namely soaking and liming.
