The forecast for business expenditure on R&D in the aircraft and spacecraft manufacturing sector in Italy remains stable at 0.04% of GDP from 2024 to 2027, slightly decreasing to 0.039% in 2028. This consistent level suggests a steady commitment to innovation within the sector, despite the slight decline expected towards the end of the forecast period. The stability of these values reflects a flat growth rate year-on-year over the short term.

Future trends to watch for:

The impact of potential technological advancements and breakthroughs in the aerospace sector which could drive future R&D investment.
Government policy decisions and funding related to aerospace that may influence R&D expenditures.
Shifts in global aerospace markets that may affect Italy's competitiveness and, in turn, its investment in R&D.
