In 2023, the European import landscape for patent leather was dominated by Spain and Italy, which collectively held over half of the market share. While Spain experienced a modest increase, Italy saw a higher year-on-year growth. France also marked significant growth, alongside smaller markets like Cyprus and Luxembourg, which had the highest percentage increases. Notably, Germany and Slovakia witnessed substantial declines. Over five years, the market displayed moderate fluctuations with growth centered around a few countries.
