One of the most important players of global leather industry is Brazil. For this reason, Leather Insiders team could not have missed the CICB voice, with Mr. José Fernando Bello, Executive President of the association, who told us the momentum Brazilian tanneries are experiencing.

“We are closely monitoring market trends, continuously seeking improvements, innovations, and technologies that enhance efficiency for our clients and promote sustainability for the planet. Our current situation reflects this vision: we have dedicated efforts in working groups, partnerships with suppliers, and a keen focus on the entire supply chain to always bring the best solutions to our challenges”, began Mr. Bello to depict current Brazilian situation. “We are already seeing positive results, which motivates us even more to keep improving. This is reflected in quality indicators, reduced input consumption, higher satisfaction among stakeholders, and a lower environmental impact. It’s a development that is noticeable in the market, which appreciates and aligns with our purpose. Brazil has a century-old tradition in leather tanning, providing us with unique expertise in techniques, processes, customer relationships, and demands. In 2025, we will continue on our growth path, always listening to people, understanding the market, and developing a deep understanding of sustainability's nuances in our industry”.

Brazil is leather producer as well as an important leather supplier, so both 2024 balance and 2025 forecast according to Brazilian hides production is a global concern.

“Our leather production is naturally tied to Brazil's beef production, as the country has the world’s largest commercial cattle herd. In 2024, we are witnessing growth in our exports (+13.5% in value from January to October and +21.7% in area during the same period). This reflects the international market's appreciation for our compliance, deliveries, and efficiency. We also recently concluded the 2024 edition of the Study of the Brazilian Tanning Sector, which outlines key figures for our industry. The report is available for free download (in Portuguese only) at www.brazilianleather.com.br. It highlights data such as: in 2021, 78% of companies held some type of certification, which has now risen to 86.7%. Tanneries treat 90% of their liquid effluents daily, while 85% of companies have implemented water consumption reduction programs. Additionally, 90% of tanneries have organized solid waste recycling programs”.

Taking the opportunity to interview CICB Executive President, we could not have missed to mention the increasingly important topic of sustainability and traceability, as well as the major challenges for tanneries in this regard.

“In recent years, we have embarked on an intense journey to implement new technologies and tools aimed at sustainability, particularly in traceability and compliance within the Brazilian leather supply chain. The CICB Raw Material Guide (available for free download at www.brazilianleather.com.br) is one outcome of this effort. This approach is more than a strategy; it represents a permanent commitment intrinsic to our industry's purpose, aligning with global demands such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Our dedication to this agenda is evident in every process carried out by the industry and its partners, including slaughterhouses, transport companies, livestock operations, chemical suppliers, and tannery teams. As a result – he concluded – we are already reaping the benefits of these efforts. At the same time, we continue to evaluate areas for improvement and refine our work to align with the best practices in global leather production”.

Leather Insiders team deeply thanks Mr. Bello and his communication and marketing team for providing us an unmissable overview of current Brazilian leather market situation.
