Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the Yemeni market for raw bovine and equine hides and skins showed notable fluctuations. Market volume rose by 21% in 2019 to 14 158 t, then fell by 11% in 2020 to 12 586 t, before recovering and reaching a peak of 15 431 t by 2022.

The increase to 15 431 t in 2022 occurred alongside production growth to 16 348 t, partly attributable to estimates indicating large quantities of raw hides were available in key livestock provinces. Concurrently, exports of raw hides to countries like Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Syria, combined with a shift in domestic consumer preference toward plastic and rubber footwear, altered market dynamics, though overall volume expanded due to ample raw material supply.

In 2023, market volume declined by 4.5% to 14 732 t, while production stabilized at 16 289 t and exports increased to 1 557 t, underscoring the market's continued dependence on foreign sales channels in the absence of a developed local processing industry for hides.
