The Italian fashion industry is poised to witness a growth of 3.2% in 2023, reaching sales of €111.7 billion, according to data released by Confindustria Moda. This growth is exclusively attributed to increased sales in value terms, marking a shift from the pandemic-induced trend. However, for the first time since the pandemic, the industry experienced a contraction in volumes. Additionally, the year saw a notable reduction in profit margins, influenced by surging energy and raw material costs, which were not offset by higher downstream prices.
In preparation for the upcoming European Parliament elections scheduled from 6 to 9 June 2024, EURATEX, the European textile and apparel association, has unveiled a comprehensive Manifesto that articulates 15 key requests aimed at advancing a competitive European textiles and clothing industry. With the elections holding significant weight in shaping the new European Commission, EURATEX emphasizes the pivotal role played by the textile sector in contributing to European wealth, jobs, and growth.
