France’s exports of semi-finished hides have increased in value, but the figure for the much bigger category of finished leather is down, according to new data from Alliance France Cuir.

A new report on the value of leather-sector exports in the first 11 months of 2024 showed that shipments of hides and skins processed by tanneries in France had brought in a total of €205.5 million, down by 5% year on year.

Semi-processed hides accounted for €25.2 million of the total. This represented growth of 8% year on year.

However, exports of finished leather in the January-November period had a value of €180.3 million, down by 7%.
