The Italian packaging industry stands out as the country’s third-largest manufacturing sector, a status that highlights its crucial role in the national economic landscape. According to data compiled by MIMIT and recently reported, the sector has established itself as a force for transformation and innovation, with over 90% of production tied to manufacturing.
This figure not only underscores the industry's ability to generate added value but also reflects consistent growth in exports. Exports increased from 3.8 billion euros in 2008 to 6.9 billion euros in 2022, marking significant expansion in international markets and a rising demand for Italian excellence.
Beyond exports, the total production value and the number of employees are also on the rise, confirming the resilience and dynamism of a sector that is increasingly focused on sustainability. From reducing the environmental impact of materials to prioritising the circular economy and green innovation, Italian packaging proves to be strategic not only for the economy but also for addressing global environmental challenges.
A sector that transforms, innovates, and looks to the future: Italian packaging is ready to cement its position as a leader in both economic and sustainability terms.
