Automatic manostats market in Italy

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2022, the Italian market for automatic manostats in physical terms fluctuated, starting at 6.2 million units in 2018, dipping to 5.4 million in 2019, then recovering to reach a peak of 11.5 million units in 2021 before easing slightly to 11.2 million in 2022. In value terms, the market showed a general upward trend over this period, rising from $41.8 million in 2018 to $57.7 million in 2022, despite a temporary dip in 2020.

The market contracted sharply in 2023, with physical volume dropping to 3.7 million units and value falling to $32.6 million. This decline coincided with the introduction of the EU Regulation 2023/1230, which replaced the former Machinery Directive and imposed new uniform safety rules for machines including automatic manostats. The regulation expanded CE marking requirements to cover software and defined substantial modifications that trigger re-certification, increasing compliance burdens for manufacturers and importers. In 2024, volume fell further to 2.9 million units while value stabilized at $32.5 million, as the regulatory framework was reinforced by the implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1922 and national updates. Ongoing global supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions also contributed to market pressures during this period.
