In 2023, the import value of machinery to prepare, tan, work hides, skins, and leather to France was lower than the projected figures. The forecast data shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with an annual growth rate ranging from approximately 1.8% to 2.0%. This suggests a healthy year-on-year growth trajectory for the industry.

Key points for future trends:

Evolving technology in machinery may lead to increased demand and further growth in imports.
Fluctuations in global leather market demand could impact future import volumes.
Environmental and regulatory changes may influence machinery specifications and import needs.
