In advance of next week’s show, the organisers of Lineapelle have issued their market trends report for the third quarter of 2003. In terms of raw materials, improved prospects for the global economy helped boost mainstream prices, reversing the downward trend previously seen. Though raw hides/skins prices remained stable a slight decrease on the previous quarter was seen in bovine hides and calf skins while sheepskin prices edged upward. The upward price trend was broadly in line with other commodities such as oil and wool.
