**Greece Sees Slight Dip in Imported Animal Leather Demand**
**Market Trends Weigh on Greek Imports of Tanned Hides and Skins**
• Greece’s imports of tanned hides and skins from other animals fell 2.5% to 13,400 tonnes in June compared to the same month last year.
• The decline is attributed to softer demand from the leather goods sector, which has struggled with reduced consumer spending power due to economic uncertainty.
• Prices for tanned hides and skins remain stable, hovering around $1,500 per tonne, despite the slight dip in imports.
Greece’s import of tanned hides and skins from other animals showed a marginal decline in June, as demand from the leather goods sector continues to be impacted by reduced consumer spending. The country’s economy has been experiencing slower growth, leading to decreased purchasing power for consumers, which in turn affects the demand for leather products. Despite this, prices remain stable due to steady supply chains and limited competition in the market.
