ITALY - According to CSIL research Italian kitchen furniture exports were up 15%  last year, obtaining additional market share in Europe, Asia, and the USA, with potential for further development in the upper-end market.

Italian kitchen furniture exports were less than the 20% increase achieved by Spain, which, however, remains a relatively minor player in the global trading scene. Nevertheless, it exceeded the significant 9% growth in exports from Germany (the leading global exporter). Imports have increased by over 20% in France and in the United Kingdom.

In 2022, Italian kitchen furniture exports surpassed one billion Eur, with France being the primary market for Italian kitchens and the United States coming in second place with a strong increase in demand.

CSIL cites the data of the top 20 Italian kitchen furniture exporters, with a turnover ranging from approximately EUR 15 to EUR 70 million per company. Boffi, Veneta Cucine, Lube, Cubo Design, Cesar, Stosa, Arrital, are among the companies that have shown the highest growth rates abroad.
