Switzerland continues to be a strategic destination for Italian exports, registering a notable 18.4% increase in June 2025—a figure that far exceeds the average growth of Italian exports to non-EU countries (+4.7%). This strong performance underscores the central role of the Swiss market for Italian SMEs, particularly at a time when companies are increasingly focused on diversifying their export destinations and reducing dependence on the U.S. market. The surge in Made in Italy exports to Switzerland has been driven primarily by demand for capital goods and non-durable consumer goods—two sectors in which Italian companies are globally recognized for their excellence. This positive trend aligns with a broader recovery in trade flows with non-EU countries, where exports rose by 6% month-on-month between January and June 2025.
