In 2023, Italy's computer hardware productivity percentage point contribution to capital growth was estimated at 0.10. Forecast data show a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 0.089 and decreasing to 0.042, indicating a steady downward trajectory. The year-on-year variation reflects a decline of roughly 13.5% on average annually. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a consistent deceleration in productivity contribution.

Future trends to watch for include:

Emergence of new technologies could impact hardware efficiency positively, potentially reversing the decline.
Shifts towards software-based solutions and cloud computing might further reduce the capital contribution from traditional hardware.
Government policies focusing on digital transformation may influence investment in computer hardware.
