In 2023, the import volume of gloves, mittens, and mitts, except sports, of leather or of composition leather to China was a key indicator of demand in this segment. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 reveal a steady year-on-year increase, with values rising from 322.44 to 341.79 thousand kilograms. This indicates a consistent growth trajectory in imports with a noticeable positive trend. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years is indicative of moderate but sustained demand.

Future trends to watch out for include:

Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and ethically sourced leather goods.
The impact of trade policies and tariffs between China and major leather-exporting countries.
Technological advancements in leather production and processing that could influence import volumes.
