Saudi Arabia possesses a dynamic market for both raw leather materials and finished leather goods. The Kingdom hosts prominent domestic tanneries, such as Al Ahli Leather Factory, which require steady imports of raw hides, wet blue, and crust leather (sheep, goat, cow, and camel). Additionally, major retail groups import finished leather products to satisfy consumer demand.
