The French leather sector closed out 2025 on solid footing, recording a trade surplus of €5.5 billion. While imports totaled €13.7 billion for the year, exports increased by 1% to reach €19.2 billion, according to the Alliance France Cuir Economic Observatory.
 

France retained its position as the world's fourth-largest leather exporter in 2025, behind China, Italy, and Vietnam. It accounted for 6.4% of global leather exports.

However, growth remained modest in 2025, partly due to stable exports to China—France's largest customer—a slight 1% increase in exports to the United States, and a 2% decline in shipments to Italy. China and the U.S. together accounted for more than a quarter of total French leather exports.

Exports to Japan surged 237% year-on-year, while shipments to South Korea rose 14%. In contrast, exports to Hong Kong fell 9%, and those to Singapore dropped sharply by 49%.

In Europe, France saw slight export declines to Germany (-5%) and the UK (-2%), while exports to Spain grew by 2%.

Leather goods continued to dominate the French leather industry's exports, representing two-thirds of the total. In 2025, leather goods exports rose 2% to €13 billion. Leather apparel followed, up 13% to €260.4 million. Footwear, accounting for 28% of exports, dipped slightly by 1%, while raw material exports fell by 5%.

After a surge in imports in 2025 and 2025 during the post-pandemic rebound, France's leather imports stabilized at around €13.7 billion in 2025 and 2025. European countries made up 49% of the total, or €6.7 billion, while Asia accounted for 47%, or €6.5 billion.

"Imports from Africa and the Americas remain marginal," noted the Observatory, which confirmed that Italy and China remain France's top leather suppliers.
