Global Release Paper for PU Leather Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Release Paper for PU Leather market size is predicted to grow from US$ 208 million in 2025 to US$ 289 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2026 to 2032.
PU leather, or polyurethane leather, is a synthetic material designed to imitate the appearance and texture of natural leather. It is made by applying a layer of polyurethane resin to a fabric backing, often polyester or cotton. PU leather is lightweight, durable, and more environmentally friendly than traditional leather since it doesn't require animal products. It is commonly used in furniture, fashion accessories, car upholstery, and other applications due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness. Unlike PVC leather, PU leather is considered more breathable and flexible, offering a soft, leather-like finish with reduced environmental impact. In 2025, global Release Paper for PU Leather production reached approximately 142 kilotons, with an average global market price of around 1500 US$/Ton. The production capacity of Release Paper for PU Leather reaches 180 kilotons, and the industry's gross profit margin is approximately between 15% and 30%.
Driving factors in the release paper for PU leather market include the expansion of PU synthetic leather applications in footwear, automotive interiors, furniture, bags and fashion accessories, as brands seek materials that balance cost, performance and a more eco-friendly image compared with PVC leather or natural hide. Rising expectations for surface quality, texture diversity and design flexibility—from fine grain and high-gloss to matte, embossed or special-effect finishes—push manufacturers to use high-precision release papers that can accurately replicate complex patterns and deliver consistent batches. At the same time, environmental and VOC regulations are encouraging a shift toward water-based and solvent-reduced PU systems, which place higher demands on release paper dimensional stability, heat resistance and coating compatibility.
