The Market Share Is Huge & Its Growing Each Year

With over 42 million cars on the road, the majority fitted with leather or vinyl interiors, and 1.4 million motorbikes, the automotive sector alone presents a significant opportunity. Beyond vehicles, the UK leather home furnishings market is worth £1.5 billion annually, expanding at 2.5% per year, while the leather jacket and coat market exceeds £2.3 billion, with projected growth of 3.76% each year. The handbag sector contributes £2.7 billion annually, rising by 3.21% each year,
and even the smaller wallets and cases market is valued at £490 million, with steady 3% growth annually. Together, these figures highlight the vast scale and long-term growth potential across multiple sectors, positioning the Leather Repair Company franchise as a gateway to a thriving, sustainable, and highly profitable industry.
