Synthetic leather (PU) fabrics have the following development trends:

Environmental Protection 2

Environmental protection upgrade of raw materials: New materials such as water-based polyurethane and biobased polyurethane are constantly developing. Biobased polyurethane uses renewable resources as the main raw material, reducing dependence on fossil fuels; Water based polyurethane has the characteristics of recycling and environmental protection, which can meet environmental requirements. It is expected that this environmentally friendly PU synthetic leather product will become a representative in the industry.

Green production process: In the context of building a resource-saving and environmentally friendly society, PU synthetic leather technology is moving towards environmental protection, with a focus on promoting the application of bio based materials to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the production process. At the same time, waste treatment technology and water treatment technology have been applied to reduce pollution to the external environment and build a circular economy by recycling waste and eliminating toxic and harmful substances.

Functionalization 5

Improve basic performance: By improving production processes and formula design, further enhance the durability, breathability, and other basic properties of the product. PU leather sponge composite materials can improve their breathability and waterproofness through improved production processes, optimize composite structure design to achieve a balance between lightweight and high strength.

Add special features: Develop new functional coatings to enhance the material's special properties such as antibacterial, odor resistant, UV resistant, self-cleaning, etc. For example, using nano silver particles for antibacterial finishing can endow the material with long-lasting antibacterial properties; By forming a superhydrophobic coating on the surface through vapor deposition, the waterproof performance of the material can be significantly improved.

Intelligentization 1

Intelligent production: With the rapid development of intelligent textiles, the Internet of Things, and big data analysis technology, the application of intelligent and automated equipment in PU synthetic leather production will become increasingly widespread. It can not only reduce energy consumption and improve product quality, but also optimize and monitor the production process in real time. For example, developing an intelligent PU leather production line with intelligent monitoring and data analysis capabilities can provide more efficient and personalized supply solutions.

Product intelligence: Combined with intelligent textile technology, PU leather products with intelligent monitoring and other functions may be developed in the future, such as integrated conductive fibers or sensors, for emerging fields such as smart wearable devices.

Diversified applications 3

Traditional field expansion: In traditional application fields such as clothing, footwear, furniture, and automotive interiors, PU synthetic leather will further expand its market share with its performance advantages. For example, in car interiors, high-end models use simulated leather PU to enhance texture.

Emerging field applications: With the continuous advancement of technological innovation, the application field of PU synthetic leather will further expand, and it will also have a wider range of applications in mobile phone cases, wristbands, waterproof clothing and other fields. In addition, PU leather sponge composite materials have shown broad application prospects in the field of outdoor equipment, such as high-performance hiking boots, tactical vests, etc.

Simulation 4

The increasing demand for high-quality alternatives from consumers has prompted manufacturers to develop high-quality polyurethane synthetic leather products that are very similar to natural leather, while providing higher durability and flexibility. In terms of appearance, feel, texture, etc., PU synthetic leather will continue to approach natural leather, meeting consumers' requirements for leather texture and aesthetics.

In addition, with the rapid development of emerging markets and the increasing demand from consumers for affordable and fashionable leather alternatives, the PU synthetic leather market will further expand. Countries in major manufacturing centers such as the Asia Pacific region, due to factors such as lower labor costs, will drive the growth of PU synthetic leather production
