Beijing – Italian furniture exports were worth €8.6 billion, a sensible increase compared to the €8.4 billion of 2013 and the €8.2 billion of 2012 (+ 3% in a year, + 6% in two). Italy exports five times more than it imports. This is shown by an elaboration of the Chamber of Commerce of Milan on Istat data for the year 2014. More than one hundred companies in the design sector are reached by Promos every year. The special agency of the Chamber of Commerce of Milan helps in their internationalization process, accompanying them in the most strategic markets for their business. For design, the United States, China, Saudi Arabia, in addition to more traditional European markets such as France, Germany and the UK, hold the greatest potential. (9Colonne)
