The import of articles of apparel made from leather or composition leather into Germany is set to decline steadily over the next five years. From the forecasted data for 2024 to 2028, there is a significant decrease in volume, presenting a downward trend. In 2023, the actual import volume stood higher than the projected volumes, indicating a consistent decline beginning from 2024.

Year-on-year variations suggest a negative growth pattern, with each year's decrease in volume contributing to a notable Aggregate Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period. This trend indicates challenges within the market, possibly due to changes in consumer preferences, economic factors, or shifts towards sustainable materials.

Changes in consumer sentiment towards sustainable and ethical fashion.
Economic factors affecting spending on luxury and non-essential items.
Technological advancements in alternative materials impacting leather demand.
Regulatory changes regarding imports and environmental policies.
Potential economic recovery cycles, influencing consumer purchasing power and preferences.
