In 2023, the tanning and dressing of leather and the dressing and dyeing of fur industry in France stood at 115.0 million euros. Forecasted figures reveal a decline in turnover from 102.5 million euros in 2024 to 56.2 million euros by 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year reduction, with a significant annual decrease in value. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period reflects a substantial contraction in the industry.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increasing consumer demand for sustainable and ethical products may drive innovation in alternative materials.
Global competition and changes in international trade policies could impact the export dynamics of French leather goods.
Technological advances in synthetic and vegan leather production might further disrupt traditional market dynamics.
