The forecast for the number of young high-growth enterprises, or "Gazelles," in the computer hardware sector in Italy indicates a notable transformation from zero firms in 2024 to a steady presence of one firm annually from 2025 to 2028. As of 2023, there were no recorded young high-growth enterprises in this sector. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is transformative, registering a 100% increase. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is anticipated to reflect a consistent emergence of these enterprises.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The potential for a more robust increase in the number of Gazelles if supportive policies and market conditions improve.
- Trends in technological advancements and innovation that could stimulate start-up activity and growth within the hardware sector.
- The impact of Europe's digital agenda on fostering a conducive environment for tech entrepreneurship in Italy.
