In 2023, Italy dominated the European production of whole bovine leather, holding a significant share of 86.99%. Serbia followed with a distant 3.91%, while Poland and the United Kingdom managed 2.95% and 2.07% respectively. France, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Denmark contributed 1.81%, 1.18%, and 1.09%. Countries like Austria, Spain, Portugal, Estonia, Romania, and Greece made up the remaining small percentages. The year-on-year variations in 2023 highlighted Serbia's sharp increase of 57.81%, United Kingdom's rise of 17.82%, and Spain's growth of 18.38%. Conversely, Austria and Portugal saw declines of -5.73% and -5.86%, and Romania declined by -11.29%.
Future trends to watch include Serbia's rapid growth in production, potentially leading to increased competition within the European market. Italy is likely to maintain its leading position, but the rising production from other countries could impact its dominance. Emerging players like Estonia and sustained growth in existing markets such as the United Kingdom and Spain will be crucial for future dynamics in the region.
