Our 2023 report

Our numbers

Beauty represents a growing part of Italy’s GDP. At the end of 2022, this economic sector contributed 26.1% to Italy’s Gross Domestic Product. This proves that Beauty has contributed to our country’s recovery after the two-year pandemic and is a real driving force for our production system. For the 2023 edition, we focused on the degree to which the excellence of Italian manufacturing originates from ‘savoir faire’, the work of our master artisans, a system undergoing rapid demographic, economic and social change.
