The Bangladesh Leather and Forward Linkage Sectors (domestic as well as export) are poised to leapfrog given the quality and the capability of the Bangladesh Factories to manufacture high quality products. The sector is in anticipation of LWG certification post which the markets are bound to expand and exports higher. Bangladesh is working towards consolidating its position as a reliable supplier.

Bangladesh Leather Sector has 200 plus footwear and leather products factories and 161 tanneries. Bangladeshi entrepreneurs are investing in compliant factories to produce high-quality footwear and expected to increase exports.
