2021 SACE Export Report

Italian exports have returned to the path of growth interrupted by the crisis; a real return to the future, in a context in which it is nevertheless necessary to clearly understand the opportunities at both sector and geographical level.

The 2021 Export Report positions itself as a guide for companies in interpreting this complex scenario, attempting to develop an "anatomy" of the prospects for Italian exports.

In a context of global recovery with differentiated trends, SACE estimates a rebound of 11.3% in value of Italian exports of goods this year, which will allow a full return to pre-pandemic levels as early as 2021. Sales of Made in Italy goods will reach 482 B€, and then continue to increase by 5.4% in 2022 and settle at an average growth rate of 4% in the following two years. This rate, which is almost one percentage point higher than the average pre-crisis rate (+3.1%, on average per year, between 2012 and 2019), will make it possible to reach the value of 550 B€ of exports in 2024.
