The import of sheep or lamb skin leather parchment-dressed or prepared after tanning to France is projected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 882.58 thousand square meters and declining to 689.03 thousand square meters by 2028. This follows an established downward trajectory from actual data available up to 2023, although specific 2023 values are not provided in the forecast. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is negative, indicating an average annual decrease.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changing consumer preferences and potential shifts towards alternative materials, which may further impact import volumes.
- Trade policies and economic conditions that could alter competitive dynamics in France's leather industry.
- Technological advances in leather production that could affect demand for pre-tanned imports.
