The Italian building supply market is a vital segment of the national construction industry, valued at over €45 billion in 2023 and serving both residential and commercial sectors. In recent years, the market has increasingly adopted sustainable and innovative practices, with green building materials accounting for nearly 30% of total supply sales and energy-efficient solutions seeing a growth rate of over 10% annually. This evolution is largely driven by EU climate targets and national incentives, such as the Superbonus 110%, which boosted demand for eco-friendly renovations and modern construction systems.
