Italy's commercial centre business is considered mature, with 9 projects planned for 2026-2028, including 4 new centres and 5 expansions. According to a Reno research for Confimprese, there are currently 1,006 active commercial centres in Italy, a 0.5% increase from 2025. In the past year, several new centres have opened, including the Waterfront Mall in Genova and the Fass Shopping Centre in Elmas, while one centre has closed.
The market is characterised by a steady rhythm of 2-4 openings per year and minimal closures, with a focus on renovating existing structures rather than building new ones.
