Italy – A Southern Market That Rewards Agility, Sustainability, and Digital Logistics
Italy may not be the first country that comes to mind in logistics — but it’s one of the most dynamic and strategic markets in Europe. With an estimated volume of over USD 125 billion in 2024 and a yearly growth rate of 3–4%, Italy stands out for its strong infrastructure, powerful industrial base, and rapid e-commerce expansion.
Why Italy Is a Strategic Market for Romanian Companies
Italy offers stability and serious commercial potential, thanks to:
- Strategic ports and airports (Genoa, Trieste, Milan) that support international flows
- A fast-growing e-commerce sector with high demand for last-mile deliveries
- Stricter environmental rules that push for cleaner, more efficient logistics solutions
What You Need to Know About Italy’s Supply Chain
- E-commerce drives growing last-mile needs in cities like Milan, Rome, and Bologna
- Infrastructure projects (like the Brenner Tunnel) boost connectivity with Central Europe
- Logistics digitalization is advancing — from live tracking to full API integration
- Sustainability pressure increases demand for consolidated and intermodal freight
How GOPET Supports Companies Trading with Italy

We work with Romanian producers of furniture, electrical equipment, textiles, construction materials, and auto components — shipping small to medium volumes to distributors and retailers in northern and central Italy.
For them, LTL is the ideal solution — enabling recurring deliveries without the cost of full truckloads.

We support Italian importers sourcing Romanian goods such as food products, industrial packaging, mechanical parts, or wood materials — managing planned flows and efficient groupage.
Through intermodal, these clients reduce both cost and emissions, while maintaining reliability.
