The employment in the fur apparel sector in Italy shows a slight declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with a consistent decrease in Full-Time Equivalent positions each year. Compared to 2023, the employment figures in 2024 represent the starting point of this projected decline. Although the drop is gradual, the average annual decrease over this period is notable as a decreasing compound average growth rate. The industry is expected to lose workforce primarily due to changing consumer preferences and increased regulation on fur production and sales.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increasing pressure from animal rights activism influencing consumer preferences.
Potential shifts towards sustainable and ethical fashion creating openings for alternative materials.
Regulatory changes by EU or Italian authorities impacting fur production and sales.
