Showcasing Italian excellence in aerospace and defense technology. Explore advanced systems, aircraft, and space solutions at Aeromart Hyderabad.
The Italian Trade Agency (ITA) is the Government agency dedicated to supporting the international growth of Italian companies and promoting foreign investment in Italy. Present in India since 1969, with offices in New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, ITA actively promotes the excellence of Made in Italy through business development initiatives, market intelligence, and trade promotion activities.
Italy has long cultivated a rich tradition within the global aerospace industry, successfully blending its historical passion for exploration with cutting-edge technological innovation. Today, the nation boasts a thriving, deeply integrated aerospace ecosystem that ranks third in the European Union for both the number of operational companies and the total workforce employed.
With the continuous advancement of its aerospace sector, Italy is perfectly positioned to capitalize on emerging global opportunities, and no market presents a more compelling landscape for synergy than India. India is undergoing a historic transformation in aviation, with rapid airport expansion serving as the most visible marker of this economic shift. Operational airports have more than doubled from 74 in 2014 to 159 in 2024, with the government setting a firm target of 350 by 2047.
As India aviation market is expected to scale dramatically, growing from $30 billion today to nearly $1 trillion by 2047, with airports evolving into centralized economic hubs, there is undeniable synergy between the Italian aerospace ecosystem and India’s ambitions.
Our close tracking of bilateral trade data leading into early 2026 has revealed a truly fascinating market anomaly. While global aerospace imports into India experienced a general dip and traditional top-tier suppliers faced contractions, Italy emerged as a unique growth outlier. We witnessed a staggering 281% surge in aerospace exports from Italy to India between 2024 and 2025 reaching around € 122 million, and this positive momentum has carried strongly into 2026. This is not an accident; it is the direct result of a strategic recalibration and the deepening of a special strategic partnership between the two nations.
To build upon this extraordinary momentum, we are proud to host nine leading Italian aerospace companies at Aeromart Hyderabad 2026. These innovators are actively seeking opportunities for further synergy in this rapidly developing market. We warmly welcome stakeholders to visit our pavilion, explore the groundbreaking technologies we offer, and join us in shaping the collaborative future of global aerospace.
