In Q3 2024, Italy’s index of machine tool orders – compiled by the Economic Studies Department and Business Culture Centre of UCIMU – returned to positive territory by recording a 7.9% increase compared with the same period in 2023. Orders collected overseas reported a 10.7% upturn, while domestics orders saw a 4.3% rise. Riccardo Rosa, president of UCIMU, states: “The return of the order index to a positive sign after six consecutive quarters of decline is welcome news, because it interrupts a trend that has accompanied the sector for too long.”
