Zirconium Tanning Agent Market to Witness a Pronounce Growth During 2017 to 2025

Tanning is the process of treating skins and hides of animals to produce leather. The tanning process prevents bacterial attack, increases leather's strength, and produces a soft, durable and, flexible material. Chromium, iron, aluminum, titanium, and zirconium are commonly used inorganic tanning agents in the leather industry. Chrome tanning is widely employed because of its high shrinkage temperature property and tensile strength. However, certain limitations of chromium tanning agents have led to the usage of its substitute. Limitations include lack of fiber compaction and high environmental hazards. Furthermore, some countries have imposed stringent limits upon the quantity of chromium emanating from tanneries that is discharged in the environment through liquid and solid wastes.

 The chromium salt tanning system is under continuous pressure from environmental groups and international regulatory bodies due to pollution and toxicity. This has resulted in the development of new tanning agents intended to partially or completely replace chromium salts. Research and development has been directed toward the development of alternative tanning processes. For instance, alternative mineral tanning salts based on aluminum, titanium, zirconium, iron, and silica were developed. Implementation of cost-effective processes that enable the production of leathers bearing similar properties to those of conventional chrome tanned stock led to the usage of iron or zirconium. Zirconium was the preferred choice, as iron has poor strength and color drawbacks. Therefore, zirconium was the potential alternative to replace chromium in tanning.

Based on application, the zirconium tanning agent market can be segmented into leather tanning, chemical intermediates, and others. Zirconium is a synthetic tanning salt. In this tanning salt, zirconium is in the complexes form and is irreversibly bound to the substrate. It can be used as self-tanning agent as well as in combination with chromium. It can withstand precipitation up to pH 5 to pH 6. Zirconium can be employed as a chrome saver to result into full white leather with minimized drawn grain. The resulting leathers can be readily dyed to rich shades. This tanning salt can also be used to retain several types of leathers. Thus, leather is the dominant application of the zirconium tanning agent market during the forecast period.

In terms of region, the zirconium tanning agent market can be divided into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America and Europe are the major regions of the zirconium tanning agent market, led by the growth in the leather industry. Asia Pacific is expected to be an emerging region of the market during the forecast period, owing to the rise in demand from China and India. Latin America and Middle East & Africa also account for major share of the zirconium tanning agent market owing to the increase in demand for zirconium tanning agent in end-use industries in these regions. Increase in environmental concerns in emerging economies is projected to propel the demand for zirconium tanning agent during the forecast period.

Companies have started investing significantly in innovation and development of zirconium tanning agent due to the rise in demand. Prominent players operating in the zirconium tanning agent market include Saint Gobain, Silvateam S.p.a., Bayer AG, Brother Enterprises Holding Co., Ltd., and TFL Ledertechnik GmbH & Co. KG.
