In 2023, Italy's import of swine leather stood at over 16 million US dollars. From 2024 onwards, a sharp decline in import value is forecasted, with values falling progressively to just over 1.6 million US dollars by 2028. Year-on-year variations show a consistent downward trend, with substantial percentage decreases each year. The average annual decrease (CAGR) over the five-year period is significant, highlighting a dramatic drop in demand or supply constraints.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in Italy's leather use preferences, impacts of sustainable fashion trends, and alternative material innovations. These could further influence the decreasing dependence on swine leather imports.
