There is great liveliness of Italian demand supported , at least partially , by Italian government incentives for new investments in production technology
The LAMIERA exhibition in Milan . sector was not able to make a full recovery ( after the downturn in 2020 ) because of difficulties in sourcing components and raw materials . This caused several months ’ delay between the collection of orders and the actual delivery of machinery .
Production forecast for 2022
However , UCIMU believes that the positive trend in 2021 should continue into 2022 , the year when it says there should be “ a full recovery from the collapse due to the outbreak of the pandemic .”
According to the forecasts processed by UCIMU , in 2022 production should grow by + 10.9 % versus 2021 , driven by the upswing in exports , which should increase by 7.7 %, and 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 great liveliness of Italian demand supported , at least partially , by Italian government incentives for new investments in production technology .”
The Italian government has set up special fiscal incentives , which consist of tax credits of up to 50 %, for Italian companies investing in new machine tools ; robots ; automation systems ; Industry 4.0 and digital technologies . It has now extended the Industry 4.0 implementation incentives which will remain in force over 2022 . n www . lamiera . net
