The Pressure Equipment world
In recent years, the Italian industrial production of pressure equipment has been higher than that of its competitors.
The main importing countries of heavy pressure equipment made in Italy are:
- Europe (56%)
- USA (10,8%)
- Indonesia (7,4%)
- China (4,8%)
- United Kingdom (4,6%)
- Germany (4,3%)
- Japan (3,0%)
- South Korea (3,0%)
Export: 80% of Turnover
In 15 years (between 1991 and 2005) the export closest to heavy boilermaking has had a trend of
fairly constant growth; in the following 3 years (2006-2008) a real boom occurred but
after the peak in 2011 there was a ten-year decline.
In 2022 the sector's exports restarted and in the following year the push continued: we returned above the
billion euros of exported value.
However, the 2024 data show a clear decline in BOILER MAKING exports (-10.5%) which falls again below one billion euros. However, since the exported volumes remained unchanged compared to 2023 (approximately 135 thousand tonnes), it is clear that this decline is due to the reduction in prices.
