The leather and footwear industry is Bangladesh’s second-largest export sector after ready-made garments, contributing to approximately 3% of the global leather goods market and meeting nearly 10% of global leather demand. Designated as a priority sector for export diversification under the Industry Policy 2022, the industry is positioning itself as a global sourcing hub, backed by a cost-competitive workforce, abundant raw materials, and targeted policy incentives.
Bangladesh’s leather and footwear exports continued their recovery in October FY25–26, posting a 9.7% year-on-year growth, reaching US$591.5 million compared to US$539.4 million last year, according to data from the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB). Overall, the leather and leather products segments remain the key growth engines, while footwear performance shows early signs of stabilization after months of fluctuation. Bangladesh’s export base continues to diversify — strengthening its position as a resilient and evolving global sourcing hub.
In this context the technology, materials and accessories showcased at LEATHERTECH Bangladesh 2025 will prove to be extremely beneficial to those factories who are looking to expand capacities as well as those wanting to diversify into product lines and those planning to enter the sector. Over the years this show has helped budding entrepreneurs to access the global technology and help in manufacturing footwear for the domestic market also.
Tradeshow timings are between 11am to 7pm on all the days of the show and entry is free for business visitors.
