Export and Import of Artificial Leather in Iran
As we mentioned, artificial leather has become a substitute for natural leather nowadays, and its usage in various manufacturing industries is expanding day by day. For this reason, we believe that the trade of artificial leather is prevalent worldwide, especially in Iran, and is considered one of the most profitable businesses for Iranian traders and merchants.
The leather industry in Iran has made good progress, which is why the import volume of this product is very insignificant compared to its exports in the country. Typically, leather imports are limited to purchasing specific types of artificial leather that are not produced domestically in Iran.
