Editorial
by Chiara Bruzzichelli
Welcome to the 36th Cersaie!
The 36th edition of Cersaie is about to get under way in the Italian city of Bologna, and for the fifth year run-ning will be hosting a wide range of top-quality exhibi-tors from the wood, marble and natural stone cover-ings sector, in addition to manufacturers of ceramic tiles and bathroom furnish-ings, and other players closely involved in the ce-ramic supply chain.The definitive figures for Cer-saie 2017, moreover, have already confirmed that the organisers made the right decision, because attend-ance increased both among Italian visitors (up 5.0% to a total of 58,422 ) and foreign visitors (up 4.3% to a total of 53,182 ), from pretty much every country
in the world.There was also an increase in the number of exhibitors, to a total of 869 (up 17 compared with 2016), of which 323 were from outside Italy, represent-ing almost a third of the total and 41 different countries of origin.Ceramic tile manufacturers accounted for the biggest share of the total, with 457 ex-hibitors, followed by bath-room furnishing manufactur-ers, with 197.
It's also gratifying to report that 2017 was another posi-tive year for Italy's ceramic in-dustry, as can be seen from the data presented by Con-findustria Ceramica. The total revenues of ceramic manufacturers operating in Italy reached 5.5 billion euros
in 2017 (+2.4%), of which 4.7 billion euros (+2.5%) came from exports, and 842 million from sales on the domestic market.
Meanwhile, 15 foreign-regis-tered companies, controlled by 8 Italian ceramic manu-facturing groups, produced 87 million sq.m of tile in 2017 (+0.88%), generating reve-nues of 862.1 million euros (+0.8%), made up of 469.9 million euros of sales on the European market and 392.2 million euros of sales on the North American markets. 79.9% of the revenues of these 15 foreign-registered companies were generated by sales within the country of production.
Investment in new technolo-
gies, which reached 514.9 million euros last year (+28.5% on 2016), showed vigorous growth for the fourth year run-ning. All these investments helped sharpen the competitive edge of the Italian ceramic industry, partly through the adoption of new Industry 4.0 digital technologies and partly through the develop-ment of new types of materi-als in large and extra-large formats, to meet demand in new market segments. This pursuit of excellence also involved Italy's sanitaryware manufacturers, who have managed to break the circle recession by rejecting the logic of competition on price and aiming instead at the high and top end of the mar-ket. 5
