Amaplast reveals 2024 performance in Italian plastics machinery industry

Amaplast, an association representing major Italian plastics and rubber machinery companies, reveals the business performance of its members in the year 2024.

 

Direct surveys are conducted by Amaplast. Results show that roughly 160 member companies closed 2024 with a turnover drop of just less than two percentage points compared to 2023.

 

Data on exports

 

Despite challenging business environment, Italian industrial machinery managed to limit losses with its exports. Exports increased for the fourth consecutive year, posting +1.5%, reaching a total value of EUR 3.62 billion.

 

This positive performance on exports helps offset the clearly struggling domestic market. This is further confirmed by a nearly seven-point decline in imports, which barely exceeded EUR 1 billion.

 

Closer look on exports: Geographical data

 

At a macro level, exports appeared weaker in the European quadrant, especially within the EU, and revealed stagnation across the Americas. More positive results were observed in Asia.

Top ten destination countries of the Italian plastics and rubber machinery, equipment and moulds exports from January to December 2024. Data in million euros.

 

Although Germany remains the top destination for exports, supplies to Germany declined by around 2% – a relatively modest drop considering the severe economic and industrial crisis the country has been facing.

 

Other major European markets that had performed well in recent years, such as Spain and Romania, experienced a slowdown (-6% and -20%, respectively), while Poland registered a further decline (-19%). Conversely, demand from Turkey continued to grow (+15%), despite the ongoing expansion of its domestic manufacturing industry.

 

Italian exports of plastics and rubber machinery to the United Stated, the sector’s second-largest destination, fell by 4%. However, it will take several more months to fully assess the impact any potential new tariff measures may have. On the other hand, further growth was recorded in Mexico, adding to the far more significant expansion seen in previous years.

 

Further South, Italy’s exports to Brazil showed excellent performance, with an 86% increase compared to 2023 and a gain of over EUR 120 million – an all-time record driven by strong demand for high-tech machinery.

 

In Asia, Italy’s two main markets delivered highly satisfactory results, as exports to both China and India increased by 15% compared to 2023.

 

Closer look on exports: Machinery type

 

As for the types of primary processing machinery that contribute most to Italian exports, there was a 7% decline in injection and extrusion machines, counterbalanced by the remarkable performance of blow molding machines, increasingly demanded by and delivered to the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Turkey, and Poland.

 

Positive trends were also observed for flexographic printing machines, which grew by 5% and account for 5% of total exports, and presses, which also hold a 5% market share and recorded an impressive 59% rise. On the contrary, molds, which represent a fifth of total export value, ended the year with a less than satisfactory -5%.

 

Looking to 2025

 

In anticipation of 2025, Italian manufacturers have already noted some encouraging signs, even from the domestic market, in the early weeks of the year, despite rising global tensions. However, a real turnaround, or a more pronounced stabilization of indicators at least, may not be possible until the second half of the year.
