Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for raw sheep and lamb skins in the Americas expanded from 82,172 t in 2018 to a peak of 90,551 t in 2020. Following this period of growth, the market stabilized, showing minor fluctuations and settling at 89,245 t by 2023.

Entering 2024, the industry was shaped by a significant increase in domestic lamb supply, supported by the highest lambing percentage since 2020. Concurrently, trade tensions with China, a major historical buyer, along with a stronger US dollar and growing demand for synthetic alternatives, sharply reduced Chinese demand for US sheepskins, impacting export dynamics and pelt values.
