CRTs have largely been superseded by more modern display technologies such as LCD, plasma display, and OLED, which as of 2012 offer lower manufacturing and distribution costs.

As volume and manufacturing capability have improved, the monochrome and passive color technologies were dropped from most product lines.

Italy's major exports and companies by sector are motor vehicles ( Fiat, Aprilia, Ducati, Piaggio, Iveco ); tyre manufacturing ( Pirelli ); chemicals and petrochemicals ( Eni ); energy and electrical engineering ( Enel, Edison ); home appliances ( Candy, Indesit ); aerospace and defense technologies ( Finmeccanica, Alenia Aeronautica, AgustaWestland, Oto Melara ); firearms ( Beretta, Benelli ); fashion ( Armani, Valentino, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Benetton, Prada, Luxottica ); food processing ( Ferrero, Barilla Group, Martini & Rossi, Campari, Parmalat ); sport and luxury vehicles ( Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Pagani ); yachts ( Ferretti, Azimut ).

Apart from developing, manufacturing, and selling the Koenigsegg line of supercars, Koenigsegg is also involved in " green technology " development programs, beginning with the CCXR (" Flower Power ") flexfuel supercar and continuing through the present with the Agera R. Koenigsegg is also active in development programs when it comes to plug-in electric cars ' systems and next-generation reciprocating engine technologies.

" However, Freitas and Merkle argue that a focused effort to achieve diamond mechanosynthesis ( DMS ) can begin now, using existing technology, and might achieve success in less than a decade if their " direct-to-DMS approach is pursued rather than a more circuitous development approach that seeks to implement less efficacious nondiamondoid molecular manufacturing technologies before progressing to diamondoid ".

These include molding and plating, wet etching ( KOH, TMAH ) and dry etching ( RIE and DRIE ), electro discharge machining ( EDM ), and other technologies capable of manufacturing small devices.
