While the region remains Italy’s leader in this sector, accounting for 29% of the national total, it faced significant contractions in major markets, including France (-9.1%), the United States (-7.3%), and Germany (-10.4%). Despite these losses, growth was observed in exports to the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Spain. Within the furniture sector specifically, the decline was largely attributed to reduced sales in the U.S. At the provincial level, Monza and Brianza reported a 3% increase in exports, reaching 613 million euros, even as demand from China and Germany fell. This provincial growth was driven largely by a 40.6% surge in exports to the United Kingdom. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-11: Northern Italian wood-furniture exports decline in first half of 2026 Wood-furniture exports in Northern Italy fell in the first half of 2026, with declines in Lombardy, Veneto, and Friuli Venezia Giulia, despite growth in Trentino-Alto Adige. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/northern-italian-wood-furniture-exports-decline-in-first-half-of-2026 ### 2026-10-08: Lombardy wood and furniture exports fall 3.9% in first half of 2026 Lombardy's wood and furniture exports fell 3.9% to 2.2 billion euros in H1 2026, with declines in France and the US offset by growth in the UK, Switzerland, and Spain. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lombardy-wood-and-furniture-exports-fall-39-in-first-half-of-2026 ### 2026-09-28: Italian footwear exports decline amid regional shifts Italy's footwear sector saw declining exports in early 2026, with Marche facing significant job and company losses, while Lombardy saw slight export dips despite a positive national trade balance. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/italian-footwear-exports-decline-amid-regional-shifts --- Cite as: Lombardy wood and furniture export trends.
