In 2023, the import volume of articles of apparel made of leather or composition leather to France experienced an upward trend. However, the forecasted data for 2024 to 2028 indicates a continuous decline in import volumes, with an annual decrease from 1.866 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.362 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects an average yearly decrease (CAGR) over this period. Such trends may suggest shifts in consumer preferences, production strategies, or regulatory impacts affecting leather imports.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential rise in sustainable and alternative materials affecting leather demand.
Changes in international trade agreements impacting import dynamics.
Innovations in leather processing and recycling influencing consumption patterns.
