The forecast for the import of articles of apparel made from leather or composition leather to China indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with slight, consistent year-on-year grows. This steady increase suggests a rising demand for leather apparel in the Chinese market. In 2023, imports stood at lower levels, marking a clear upward trend in volume over the five subsequent years.

Key trends and future considerations include:

Continued growth driven by increasing consumer affluence and demand for high-quality, luxury goods.
Potential impact of global trade relations, including tariffs or trade agreements, affecting imports.
Increasing environmental and ethical considerations influencing leather production and sourcing methods.
