The global leather goods market is gigantic, and Grand View Research predicts it will reach USD $405.28 billion by 2030, up from $242.85 billion in 2022.
I have generally rather mixed feelings about leather, but that seems like a ridiculous number to use as a reference. As far as I can tell it’s the total price of the sold goods?
Which includes lots of stuff that has nothing to do with the leather…
Luis Vuitton is going to be raking in millions whether it uses leather or it switches to hemp or whatever. They’re selling prestige and brand, not real products.
(In the current political climate “going woke” by cutting leather would probably backfire in terms of image… But if they silently switched from leather to plastic noone would notice given the quality of their leathers)

There’s always cloth seats car manufacturers can use instead.
I don’t ever want leather seats in my car but your answer seems… Unrelated to my comment?
It’s related to how you may want to avoid plastic…
