Leather Pipeline: it’s like the summer holidays
Our exclusive Leather Pipeline weekly electronic newsletter has compared the quiet mood around the global industry at the start of this calendar year to the lull that usually sets in during the summer holidays in Europe, even though the first quarter is usually one of the industry’s busiest.

Tanners in the western world have returned to work just at the time their Asian counterparts are winding down for the Lunar New Year celebrations (which begin formally on February 8 this year).

One possible piece of positive news, apart from ongoing demand for leather from the automotive sector, is that falling oil prices around the world are putting more spending money into the pockets of consumers and, still, products made from leather are still a natural choice for many consumers.

The full report – as well as market intelligence from a European and US perspective - is available to leatherbiz subscribers on the Market Info page.
