Innovation and growth in the Brazilian leather sector
In 2024, the leather sector saw a significant expansion in total exports. The growth of 12.5%, compared to 2023, demonstrates the vitality of national companies, as well as consolidating leather as a product in high demand on the global market.
The increase in national exports was mainly due to wet-blue leather, which accounts for most of the volume sold by Brazil abroad. However, finished leather also stands out, a segment in which Courovale operates, with added value and ready for application in final products.
Among the markets that stand out as the largest importers, China leads with a 26,9% increase in exports, followed by Vietnam, which recorded a 69,8% growth. In addition, Mexico has also established itself as a strategic partner, with an increase of 26.3%. This diversification reflects a joint effort by Brazilian companies to meet the demands for quality and differentiation in international markets.
Much of this leather is destined for the automotive and furniture sectors, which are recognized for their high standards in terms of technical performance and material finish. However, Courovale maintains its focus on sectors that demand aesthetic sophistication and differentiated finishes, such as footwear and handbags.
