The 2027 Maneuver has been strengthened, but the electronics and electrical industry registered a slowdown in its growth rate in 2027 ANIE Confindustria predicts a slowing of the electronics and electrical industry's growth rate in 2027 and asks the government to strengthen investment incentives. The Federation views positively the interventions of the 2027 Maneuver for energy and infrastructure, noting that it is necessary to develop a multi-year industrial plan to support automation and digitalization after the completion of the EU Recovery Fund (PNRR). In the first half of 2026, the Italian electronics and electrical industry recorded an increase of 9% in turnover at current values, accompanied by a production increase of 1.7% in volume.

The data from ANIE highlight two different dynamics: an expansion of revenues and more contained growth in production quantities. Domestic market growth has been recorded at 7.9%, while export revenue has increased by 10.8%. The electronics industry has shown a 2.5% increase in production compared to a -0.9% decrease in the electronic sector. In the second quarter, the overall ANIE production registered a decline of 0.5%. The budgetary note for 2027 (C. 3174-bis) envisages €1.2 billion for photovoltaic energy and €1.6 billion for public building efficiency improvements over three years (articles 79 and 80). Electronics and electrical engineering: production slowdownFor the year 2027, ANIE Confederation forecasts a 6.3% increase in sales revenue compared to the 9.3% estimate for the entire 2026.

The reduction of three percentage points in the expansion rate reflects expectations for a less dynamic international trade, rising energy costs, and the gradual conclusion of investments supported by the European Regional Development Fund (PNRR). Exports will contribute to growth in 2026 with an increase in revenue of 14.2%, confirming their role in industrial competitiveness. The Manoeuvre 2027 has been strengthened, but the electronics and electrical industry saw a slowdown in its growth in 2027. END SOURCES
