Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, the market volume for raw bovine and equine hides and skins in Peru grew by over 1 000 t to 27 514 t. This increase was driven by a 2.2% rise in national beef production, which expanded the supply of raw hides. In 2020, the market contracted to 25 876 t, a period during which SENASA implemented good production practices to improve cattle health and hide quality.

The market stabilized around 25 500–26 400 t in 2021 and 2022. By 2023, volume reached 27 193 t, supported by new export opportunities as the Peruvian government pursued sanitary protocols to ship donkey and horse hides to China, stimulating demand for these products.
