According to the data released by Confindustria Moda, Italy's fashion trade body, revenue in the textile and fashion sector in Italy increased by 3% to EUR 112.4 billion (USD 121.0 billion) in the previous year.
Higher sales values have contributed to the growth of the market, but there has been a significant decrease in volumes, suggesting that the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic may be coming to an end.
Revenues have increased, but the industry faces challenges in terms of profit margins due to rising energy and raw materials costs. The trade body is optimistic that energy costs will return to the pre-COVID levels of 2024, but there are still doubts about the future trajectory of raw materials costs.
Year-on-year (YoY) growth in exports for textile and fashion was 5.1% to EUR 55.4 billion (USD 59.67 billion), with 48% going to the EU and 54.2% to non-EU destinations.
Fashion e-commerce is at an inflection point in Italy. Despite the constant delays in the Italian market development due to the lack of infrastructure, e-commerce penetration reached 68% so far, which is lower than the penetration rates in UK (83%) and France (79%).
Yet, Italy’s online fashion and shopping sector is constantly growing. Currently, the clothing sector accounts for 18.2% of Italy’s total online shopping market. It’s expected to grow further in the years to come. In Italy, 75% of online purchases are made through mobile devices, with some companies reaching 90% in the case of Zalando, Shein, and Nike.
