the upturn of manufacturers ’ deliveries in the domestic market , which should rise by 14.5 %.
“ Consumption should also keep growing to 12.1 % more than in 2021 . Imports should also benefit from the dynamism of domestic demand , marking a 7.7 % rise ( versus 2020 ). The export / production ratio should go down again , standing at 51.6 %,” confirmed the association .
Barbara Colombo , President of UCIMU- SISTEMI PER PRODURRE , added : “ 2021 was extremely positive for the Italian manufacturers of machine tools , robots and automation systems . Only the lack of some electrical and electronic components and of raw materials hindered full recovery of the loss registered at the end of 2020 , in conjunction with the outbreak of the pandemic .”
“ While experiencing slower recovery of business in overseas markets , owing to the restrictions on people ’ s mobility , there is a great liveliness of Italian demand supported , at least partially , by the Italian government incentives for new investments in production technology .” n
