NEXT ITALIAN TRADE FAIRS




 
 
          What Comes Next?

Italian trade show MIDO is open for business today through to Monday 10th, 3 days of business, innovation and inspiration with 1,200 Exhibitors from 50 countries taking part. Visitors from over 160 nations expected to decamp to Milan for the world’s leading eyewear trade show where, according to Alessandra Albarello, “Eyewear is much more than a simple accessory: it embodies our personality and visually narrates who we are or who we would like to be. Now, more than ever, eyewear collections are focused on the quest for truth and authenticity, favouring authentic colours and a faithful representation of the wearer. The way eyewear is worn is evolving and designs explore a meditative vision, blending tradition and innovation to create a universal language”.

Mido 2025 takes place after a year marked by great uncertainty for the global economy.

Geopolitical tensions, with ongoing conflicts and increasingly complex international relations, seriously impacted and still impact economic dynamics.

2024 was distinguished by crucial elections in several countries, which contributed to a climate of political and financial instability.

In the background, uncertainty over the outcome of the US presidential elections influenced global economic policy choices, culminating towards the end of the year with conjecture over the Trump administration's first actions.

The 2025 outlook suggests a year of stability and transition for the Italian eyewear industry, in a global economic context characterized by moderate growth and multiple uncertainties. The sector will continue to be driven by exports, which account for most of production, but the outlook on international markets remains complex.

“Economic forecasts for 2025 portend a year of reflection for our sector, which remains a hallmark of Made in Italy excellence. Despite the global challenges - moderate market growth and geopolitical tensions - Italian eyewear has consistently demonstrated exceptional resilience and adaptability over time.” commented ANFAO President Lorraine Berton. “I believe, and I am certain, that in this case too we will be able to turn this situation into an opportunity to re-launch our exports by promoting the uniqueness of Italian products even more.”

In a world that desperately needs to re-balance the ability to focus and see clearly has never been more important. However, whilst MIDO provides the very best platform for creativity to be expressed and inspiration for all who attend the world’s eyes continues to focus on the roll of politics and its impact on global affairs.
