« Go back Italian Export: Solid Growth and Reliability for International Partners
Istat data for the first nine months of 2025 confirms the robustness and resilience of the Italian production system on global markets. Total exports reached 479 billion euros, recording an increase of +3.6% compared to the previous year.
This growth not only reflects the innovation capacity of Italian companies but also sends a signal of reliability and continuity to foreign trade partners (B2B and B2C) who view Italy as a strategic supplier.
The positive trend is led by high value-added sectors, which are essential for the international B2B supply chain:
- Pharmaceutical, Chemical-medicinal, and Botanical Products: Essential for the global supply chain, confirming Italian excellence in health research and production.
- Basic Metals and Fabricated Metal Products: Indispensable for foreign manufacturing industries, from construction to automotive.
- Transport Equipment (excluding military vehicles): Foreign demand for Italian components and technology in this sector remains high.
These figures underscore how Italian companies offer certified quality and constant innovation, crucial factors for any foreign partner seeking long-term B2B supplies.
For Italian companies, the confirmation of this growth must translate into a renewed push towards internationalization. It is fundamental to:
- Monitor expanding markets to leverage the demand for capital goods.
- Invest in innovation to maintain the competitive advantage in the driving sectors.
- Actively participate in International Trade Fairs in Italy, which serve as a privileged showcase for foreign buyers.
For international operators, the Italian trade fair landscape represents the ideal place to meet the supply chain of excellence. Globally renowned events such as the Salone del Mobile (furnishings) or Macfrut (agri-food) are unmissable opportunities for establishing direct partnerships.
In summary, export data are not just numbers, but concrete proof that Made in Italy continues to be synonymous with quality, innovation, and solid business opportunities for global trade.
