Strong start to new financial year for leather sector in Bangladesh
14/08/2025
Bangladesh’s leather industry has started the new financial year (July 2025-June 2026) on a positive footing.
Data from the country’s export promotion bureau said revenues for July 2025 were $127 million, up by nearly 30% compared to the same month in 2024.
This increase was primarily driven by a rise of 25% in footwear export revenues, which grew to almost $80 million.
Exports of finished leather reached $9.25 million, an increase of 21.9% year on year. Leathergoods exports increase in value by more than 40% to reach $38.3 million.
