The import value of raw whole hides and skins of bovine animals to France has been on a consistent decline from $2.83 million in 2017 to $0.14 million in 2021. This represents a year-on-year decrease reaching 94.8% over the five-year period up to 2021. By 2023, this trend had persisted, with imports remaining at low levels. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2017 to 2021 was significantly negative, highlighting a steep downward trajectory in imports.
Looking ahead, potential trends to watch include the impact of evolving trade policies and supply chain shifts which could affect import demand. Additionally, shifts in global cattle hide supply and eco-focused regulation changes may further influence future import volumes and values.
