Eurozone debt crisis has highlighted a number of structural economic weaknesses in Italy. Despite having an advantage in various fields, a lack of structural reforms has been the major reason for Italy's declining productivity. The allocation to the defense sector hit an all-time low in 2016 as a result of falling GDP and although the spending on defense recovered marginally in 2017, it is expected to be temporary and the country's defense related expenditure is likely to decrease over the next two years until 2019.

The country's defense budget stands at US$15.5 Billion in 2017 and is expected to reach US$15.9 Billion in 2022. Cumulatively, the defense budget is expected to be US$77.5 Billion over the forecast period. It is anticipated that the defense budget will record a CAGR of 0.92% during the forecast period in contrast to the CAGR of -6.04% registered during the historic period.

Air Force expenditure stands at US$2.7 Billion in 2017, which is forecast to reach US$2.8 Billion in 2022.This expenditure is expected to be fuelled by the continuing procurement of F-35 fighter aircraft, transport helicopters, and unmanned aerial system (UAS) mission trainers over the forecast period. The Italian Navy expenditure is expected to increase slightly from US$2.1 Billion in 2017 to US$2.2 Billion in 2022.

During 2012 to 2016, Italy's defense exports grew significantly as a result of expansion into Asian and Middle Eastern markets such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Singapore, UAE, and Israel. The demand for defense equipment was strong in these countries. The key exports were advanced technology equipment such as aircraft, naval vessels, sensors, armored vehicles, naval weapons, missiles, air defense systems, and satellites among others. Major recipients of Italian exports were Turkey, UAE, and Algeria which accounted for 14.2%, 11.1% and 8.0% of overall Italian exports respectively, largely involving military aircraft and naval vessels.
