In 2023, Italy's import of goat or kid skin leather stood at approximately 3.30 million square meters. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a consistent decline from 3.0839 to 2.223 million square meters. This represents a year-on-year decrease of around 6-8%, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -7% over the five-year forecasted period. The downward trend highlights a shift away from traditional leather imports.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of sustainable fashion movements and innovations in synthetic and alternative materials, which may further decrease the demand for genuine leather imports in Italy.
