The import of fresh or wet-salted whole hides and skins of bovine animals to Italy shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 280.17 million kilograms to 268.43 million kilograms. This represents a steady annual decrease, averaging 0.84% year-on-year. In 2023, the actual import value stood slightly higher, indicating the continuation of a modest decline observed in recent years. Looking forward, it is vital to monitor fluctuations in global leather demand, regulatory changes in trade policies, and potential shifts in domestic production capacity which could impact the demand for imported raw materials.
