Market
Data elaborated and published by UCINA (the Italian National Shipyards and Related Shipping Industries Union) have highlighted an overall growth in the Italian shipping industry over recent years, confirming the positive trend which had already emerged in previous years. The production value of Italian shipping companies was estimated at Euro 3,450 million in 2007 (production of recreational craft), which is an increase of 19.57% on 2006, with a strong trend towards exports (58.92%).

The growth in exports, which on average exceeds 59% of domestic production, has been confirmed. This year the increase was 53.36% to Europe and 46.64% to countries outside the EU. The export/import balance increased by 31.57% in favor of exports.

For the fourth consecutive year the Italian shipping industry has come first in Europe in terms of the value of pleasure craft production and second in the world after the United States.

Italy affirmed its supremacy as the largest producer of superyachts in 2000 by overtaking the United States, until then the uncontested market leader. Italy holds a world market share, by number of units produced, of around 45%.
