The forecast for the re-import of fresh or wet-salted whole hides and skins of bovine animals to France from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decrease, with values dropping each year. The volume is set to decrease from 2024's 161.12k Kg to just 86.34k Kg by 2028. This indicates a marked decline over the five-year forecast period. For context, in 2023, the volume notably stood at 180k Kg. The downward trend reveals a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) that signals a robust contraction in the demand for these products within France.
Future trends to watch include potential policy changes impacting trade and environmental regulations that might influence the import dynamics. Additionally, shifts in livestock industry supply chains or consumer preferences for leather substitutes could further impact the forecasted decline. Close monitoring of these factors will be crucial to understanding the evolving market landscape.
