The French fur apparel sector is projected to experience a steady decline over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the turnover in this sector stood at an unspecified but presumably higher value than the 2024 forecast, initiating the downward trend. Year-on-year declines are expected, with a decrease of approximately 2.5% annually over the five-year period, highlighting a consistent contraction in the industry’s economic performance.

Future trends to watch for include:

Consumer shifts towards ethical and sustainable fashion impacting demand for fur products.
Potential regulatory changes and trade policies affecting the import and sale of fur items.
Technological advancements in alternative materials potentially replacing traditional fur.
