The overall number of companies decreased slightly as small businesses and micro-enterprises find it
harder to survive the situation due to their limited size. In 2013, there were 869 companies in the
sector (-1.3% compared to 2012).
A decrease in employment (which hardly moved for two years) also applies to industrial leaders this
year; without counting temporary workers (nearly 1,000) the sector employed 15,830 people in 2013, 2.4% compared to 2012.

The main segments in the sector, frames and sunglasses, are responsible for this growth trend,
with sunglasses recapturing the lead lost the year before.
In 2013 exports of sunglasses soared 9% year on year, for an overall worth of approximately
1,872 million Euro. The reported increase in the export of frames instead was decisively lower at
+3.7%, and settled at 878 million Euro.

Italian eyewear export: geographical details
Considering exports as a whole, that is sunglasses and frames, we can see that:
Source: Anfao
 In 2013 recovery and consolidation respectively marked the two primary
reference markets of Italian eyewear, Europe and the United States, which
together purchased 80% of products exported by companies in the sector.
 Europe remained the main market outlet for eyewear exports in 2013, accounting for
almost 50% of all Italian sector exports, with a 9.4% y/y increase (+9.8% for
sunglasses, +8.8% for frames).
 In 2013 the volume of exports to America was just shy of 30%, with an 8.8% increase
from 2012 in exports of sun-prescription eyewear.

Italian eyewear export: countries details
 For the United States (the traditional primary market outlet for the eyewear industry, claiming more than
23% of exports in 2013) overall exports of sun-prescription eyewear soared by +11.7% from 2012.
Sunglasses (+13.6%) contributed more than frames (+6.5%) to the overall exports.
 The extraordinary performance in the European market was unquestionably the result of exports to France
and Germany. Germany confirmed the positive trend already established last year with ever increasing
sales of sunglasses. Hence the sun-prescription glasses export trend for Germany increased by 23.7%
overall, with +26.6% for sunglasses and +21.2% for frames. In 2013, Italian eyewear exports to France
increased sharply compared to 2012, with a +10.4% rise in the overall growth trend, of which +10.6% for
sunglasses and 10.3% for frames.

 Italian exports rebounded in Greece (+12.97% overall compared to 2012, with +14.8% for sunglasses and
+6.5% for frames) and The Netherlands (+19.6% sun+prescription average, with +23.6% for frames
and +16.6% for sunglasses).

 After the crisis of sovereign debts for the third consecutive year exports to Spain remained weak (-4.1%
overall compared to 2012, specifically -1% for sunglasses and -10.6% for frames) as well as Portugal
(+1.4% overall, with the good performance of frames (+11.9%) being offset by the -5.7% drop in export
of sunglasses).

The year 2013 was not as dynamic as 2012 also because growth in some of these countries actually
slowed down a little. China is an iconic example of the drastic drop in exports experienced in 2013,
especially for frames. In terms of market shares our exports to these countries are hardly significant, and
therefore it its quite easy for the indexes (positive or negative) to swing beyond the double digits.
Nonetheless, the general and constant growth, even if slower, still inherently holds great
potential as an export channel for Italian eyewear.

Italian eyewear in Italy
2013 was the sixth consecutive year of economic crisis in our country,
and the eyewear sector was not immune to the general situation although the
results were a little less negative than the year before.
Actual proof is given by the sell-out figures. The data provided this year by GfK
Retail & Technology Italia, once more in partnership with ANFAO, confirm the same
trend.
In 2013 sales dropped by 1.8% in value due to the negative performance
of sunglasses (-8%) vs substantially steady sales of frames (+0.9%) and
prescription lenses (-0.1%).
19
Source: Anfao
In terms of sell-in, domestic sales for 2013 amounted to 940 million euro, down
by -2.3% compared to 2012. The substantial stability of the opticians'
segment, which together with the frames segment experienced a slight
improvement, was offset by the negative performance of the sunglasses segment,
substantiating the concerning state of Italian consumer spending.
