Based on the forecast data, the import value of gloves, mittens, and mitts of leather or composition leather specially designed for use in sports to the US is expected to gradually decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, this import value stood at approximately $210.5 million, showing a steady decrease over the forthcoming years. The year-on-year percentage change highlights a slight downward trend at just below 0.5% per year. Over a five-year period ending in 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a modest reduction in the import value of such leather goods.

Potential shifts in consumer preferences toward alternative materials or synthetic options.
The impact of international trade policies on import regulations and tariffs.
Advancements in sports technology and changing demands in sports equipment.
Evolving environmental policies that may influence leather sourcing and product acceptability.
