Economic surveys of exports
     


The historic propensity of the Italian ceramic tile and refractory materials industry to export its products to more than 180 countries worldwide is regularly monitored by the association. The purpose of this is to rapidly obtain information on the evolving presence of Italian products in the various markets and to allow member companies to develop business plans consistent with current trends.

CERAMIC TILE EXPORTS. Following the introduction of the Intrastat system for monitoring intracommunity trade in January 1993, the association has been supplementing official Istat figures with its own measurements in order to acquire data on Italian exports in terms of value and volumes divided up according to country of destination (European markets) and continents (sales outside the EU). This quarterly survey complements the monthly public domain survey (which provides a general breakdown according to the various countries of destination), thus helping companies interpret the trends in individual non-EEC markets more effectively.

REFRACTORY MATERIAL IMPORT-EXPORT FLOWS. The data are based on Istat figures and are analysed in terms of value and volumes for individual foreign countries of destination and individual product types. The survey is conducted monthly and comparisons made with the corresponding period in the previous year.

Reserved for member companies and made public on an annual basis after 6 months.
