The forecast for the import of whole bovine leather to Germany from 2024 to 2028 depicts a consistent downward trend. Starting from 9.257 million kilograms in 2024, the imports decrease each consecutive year, reaching 4.8332 million kilograms in 2028. This indicates a significant shift, as the imports are expected to decline by approximately 40.85% over the five-year forecast period. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects an average annual decrease, highlighting a marked contraction in demand for whole bovine leather in Germany. In contrast, data for 2023 is crucial for a base reference point but is not included in these forecasts.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in global leather production and supplies, potentially affecting import volumes.
Changes in consumer preferences toward sustainable alternatives might further reduce leather demand.
Economic factors and trade policies impacting the affordability and flow of leather into Germany.
