In 2023, the re-import of leather footwear covering the ankle to China stood at approximately 9.6 thousand kilograms. Forecasts project a consistent decline from 8.86 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 6.05 thousand kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year, the decrease is about 8% from 2024 to 2025, and the same from 2025 to 2026. A continued decline is noticeable, with a CAGR of around 7.6% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and synthetic materials, shifts in trade policies affecting re-import costs, and advancements in domestic manufacturing capabilities that may impact re-import reliance.
