The forecast for private non-profit expenditure on R&D in social sciences in Italy shows a slight decline from 2024 onwards, with values decreasing from 58.19 million USD in 2024 to 57.63 million USD by 2028. Comparing these figures to 2023's data, where expenditure stood around 58.3 million USD, we see a consistent downward trend. Year-on-year, the expenditure is expected to decrease by approximately 0.25% through 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -0.24% over the five-year forecast period. This suggests a steady but minor decline in investment over this time frame.
Future trends to watch for include policy changes affecting R&D funding, shifts in prioritization within the social sciences, and broader economic conditions that could either exacerbate or mitigate this declining trend. Additionally, increased collaboration with international partners may offer new opportunities for funding and resource sharing, potentially stabilizing or enhancing expenditure levels in the sector.
