In 2019, sales in the Italian market decreased 4.5 per cent to €160.9 million compared to 2018, reportedly due to the weakness of the wholesale channel, in contrast with the positive performance of retail. Sales in Europe increased 8.1 per cent to €86.890 million reportedly driven by the good performance in UK, Germany and Eastern Europe. 
 
In Asia and in the Rest of the World, the group's sales for the year rose 7.4 per cent to €86.0 million. Sales in America fell 4.5 per cent to €17.6 million in FY19.
 
By distribution channel, in 2019, wholesale revenues declined by 1.8 per cent mainly due to the downturn registered by the AW 2019 collections, as reported.

"In recent weeks the international scenario suddenly weakened, as a result of the spread of Coronavirus, and today the duration of this epidemic is still uncertain. Our group is committing all of its resources and energies to face these difficult market conditions, both in terms of careful management of customer relations and of considered actions aimed at containing costs that can be postponed without any prejudice to the development and strengthening of our brands," Massimo Ferretti, executive chairman of Aeffe Spa, said in a press release.
