Shoes provide leg-up for Bangladesh’s leather exports

23/05/2025
Bangladesh’s leather sector exports grew 10% in the first 10 months of the financial year (from July to April 2025), compared with the same period last year, to $932.5 million.

These figures were boosted by a 26% rise in footwear export revenue to $545.35 million, according to the Bangladesh Export Promotion Bureau.

However, the detailed figures indicate that finished leather exports decreased by 8%, totalling $107.6 million in value, and leather product exports declined by 6% to $279.57 million. 

Bangladesh earned $1.3 billion from its leather industry exports during the 2023-24 fiscal year, which spans from July to June.
