The Italian garden market will grow to a market volume of EUR 3.35 bn to EUR 3.40 bn in 2022. Compared to 2021, when the market reached EUR 3 bn, that would be growth of between 11.7 and 13.3 per cent.

During the first half of 2022 export has shown an increase of 9 per cent as compared to the first half of 2021. 2021, however had shown a 21 per cent increase as compared to 2020. Import, instead, has grown by 60 per cent in the first half of 2022 (2021 on 2020 instead had been +8 per cent).
