Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for raw bovine and equine hides and skins in Sudan contracted from over 73 thousand tons in 2018 to just under 60 thousand tons in 2022. This decline was most pronounced in 2022 when the market shrank by more than 11% year-on-year, influenced by a concurrent drop in domestic production and a sharp rise in exports.

The trend reversed in 2023 as the market expanded to 65.4 thousand tons. This recovery was accompanied by a notable reduction in export volumes, which fell by more than half compared to the previous year. By 2024, the market's value saw a sharp increase of 13%, reaching $76 million, reflecting stronger regional export participation where Sudan accounted for a significant share of African raw hides and skins exports.

Sudan has maintained positive export growth over the past decade, with an average annual increase of 11.3% from 2013 to 2024, solidifying its position as a key supplier within the African continent.
