Italy’s national tanning industry body UNIC has reported that, in the first nine months of 2024, the industry there experienced a fall of 8.5% in production volumes and of 4.1% in revenues, compared to the same period last year. Summary by Leatherbiz.
Full-year figures for 2023 show that Italian tanners produced nearly 99.5 million square-metres of finished leather, plus 7,000 tonnes of soling leather and brought in total revenues of €4.25 billion.
“The momentum of the market appears extremely negative,” UNIC said. It pointed out that 2023 had, in itself, been a difficult year and that over the last 24 months, the Italian tanning sector has lost 17.2% in production volume and 10.3% in revenues.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
