As of 2023, the sold production of machine-tools for working stone, ceramics, concrete, asbestos-cement, or similar materials, including cold working of glass in Italy, stood below the 2024 forecasted value of 458.28 million euros. The data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent year-on-year growth trend, with expected increases from 2.2% in 2024-2025, to around 2.1% in 2025-2026, and slightly decreasing growth rates in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate over this five-year forecast period stands at approximately 2.1%.

Future trends to monitor include:

Technological advancements in machine-tool design and production that may drive further efficiency and demand.
Regulatory changes in material handling and safety that could affect production processes.
Economic factors within the EU affecting capital investments in manufacturing equipment.
