Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, production of raw sheep and lamb skins in Bangladesh grew steadily from 1 088 t to 1 200 t. The increase began in 2018 alongside a 3.6% expansion in the broader cattle hide and skin market, while the country's substantial sheep population of 1.9 million animals provided a solid supply base for raw skins.

The upward trend continued in the following years, sustained by Bangladesh's large livestock base. By 2023, a 5.1% recovery in the domestic leather market indicated renewed industrial demand, which further supported the growth in raw skin production.
