Collectively, these companies produced 2,295 tonnes of finished bovine hides and calf skins.
Those that work with small skins processed 2.8 million skins, including sheepskin, goatskins, pigskins and exotic skins during the year.
In terms of volume, the figure for bovine hides shows a fall of 13.3% compared to the previous year. The decline for small skins was of 7% year on year.
In 2024, all French leather manufacturers together had a combined turnover of €424 million, down by 5.1%. This figure means the people working in tanneries in France generated value of more than €280,000 each last year.
