Moreover, US specialty and industrial fabrics export figures rose 4.22 per cent in 2017 over 2016.

The positive scenario of the US industry has pushed many local companies to invest in new technologies. Also Italian exports to US market testify the will of American textile customers to invest in new equipment. In 2017 January-November period, Italian exports of textile machinery to US market reached a value of about €90 million, with an increase of 10 per cent on the same period of the previous year. In 2017, the most relevant share of the Italian machines exported to US market was for the finishing sector (33 per cent), followed by accessories (22 per cent). (GK)
