When it comes to the fashion, design, furniture, and food sectors, the Italian manufacturing system combines industrial capacity and brand value, with supply chains in which quality and reputation directly affect a brand’s competitiveness. In Europe, Italy plays a leading role in value added across sectors such as apparel (47%), leather goods (50%), textiles (25%), and furniture (20%). In these sectors, speed to market, international market presence, and effective risk management (in terms of counterfeiting, supply chain, sustainability, and e-commerce) are crucial.
