The import of leather from bovine or equine animals to China is forecasted to grow steadily from 2024 through 2028, increasing from $4.65 billion in 2024 to $4.99 billion in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth pattern. In comparison, the estimated value was lower in 2023, suggesting a gradual recovery or expansion. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period reflects modest but stable growth in the leather import sector.

Future trends to watch for:

Global demand shifts for leather products, possibly affecting imports.
Impact of trade policies and tariffs on the leather industry.
Sustainability trends influencing raw material sourcing in the fashion and automotive industries.
