Globally the demand for high-end and semi high-end leather goods has increased

This can be seen in the export figure in recent years. The leather exports in July were down by 15.23% to $106.1 million, according to data from the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB).

This has provoked leather goods manufacturers, particularly the shoe segments, to make large profits from a lower quantity of shoes to fewer customers.

This attitude is not surprising at all, as leather goods manufacturers sell goods in bulk quantities only on a few occasions around the year such as Eid-ul-Fitr, Pahela Baishakh, Eid-ul-Azha and Durga Puja.
