In 2023, Italy dominated the European export of whole bovine leather, accounting for 60.68% of total exports. Austria and Germany followed with shares of 5.63% and 5.5%, respectively. While some countries like Denmark and the Netherlands experienced year-on-year increases of 9.37% and 8.15%, others such as Germany and Slovakia faced declines of 6.28% and 6.59%. Notably, Ireland saw a significant jump of 56.26%, albeit from a small base.
Future trends to watch include the potential for growth in smaller markets with recent gains, like Belgium and Ireland. Also, implementing sustainable practices in production might impact Italy's large share due to changes in consumer and regulatory landscapes.
