What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
In 2012, the Italian government allocated US$25.6 billion for the total defense budget, and the total defense budget recorded a CAGR of -4.74% during the review period. However, the defense budget, estimated to be US$26.8 billion in 2013, is expected to record a CAGR of -0.03% during the forecast period, to reach US$26.8 billion by 2017. Cumulatively, US$133.6 billion is expected to be allocated to the Italian MOD for defense during the forecast period.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Italy is facing economic constraints due to high fiscal debt, forcing the government to reduce its expenditure. This has led to constraints in the defense budget and reduced spending on the procurement of defense equipment. However, the Italian MOD's gradual modernization of its armed forces has helped to minimize budget cuts. Furthermore, Italy's membership of NATO, the UN, and the EU, and subsequent participation in peacekeeping operations, also require financial input.
