The Gross Domestic Expenditure on R&D in Italy is forecasted to remain relatively stable, with a slight decline from 1.44% of GDP in 2024-2025 to 1.43% from 2026 onwards. Assuming that the actual expenditure in 2023 was close to these levels, this indicates a plateau in R&D investment levels as a percentage of GDP. The year-on-year variation shows minimal changes, suggesting a stagnation trend over the forecasted period. The five-year CAGR, therefore, remains virtually unchanged.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential policy changes affecting R&D funding.
- Impact of economic conditions on government and private sector investment.
- Technological advancements driving shifts in R&D priorities.
