In 2023, the re-import of sports footwear with uppers of leather to China was recorded at 30.00 thousand kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts show a notable downward trend, with values decreasing from 25.56 to 6.51 thousand kilograms. This reflects a substantial year-on-year decline. The average annual decrease (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is significant, demonstrating a consistent reduction in volume.

Future trends to watch for:

An increase in domestic production capabilities may reduce the need for re-imports.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards synthetic materials might impact the demand.
Tighter environmental regulations could further discourage re-importation.
Geopolitical factors affecting trade policies and tariffs could alter forecasts.
