The import of fresh or wet-salted whole hides and skins of bovine animals to France is forecasted to steadily increase from 2024 to 2028, moving from approximately 10.639 to 10.767 million kilograms. This represents a modest compound annual growth rate over the five-year period. Unfortunately, data for 2023 is unavailable, which limits the ability to provide year-on-year percentage variations.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential impacts of international trade policies and tariffs on the import volumes.
Changes in the global demand for leather products, which may affect import needs.
Advancements in synthetic alternatives that could influence the demand for bovine hides.
Environmental regulations and sustainability measures impacting the sourcing and processing of animal hides.
