Services value added as % of GDP NV.SRV.TOTL.ZS

Overview
Italy's services value added stood at 63.95% in 2025, a decline of +1.10% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 63.95% by 2025. Italy ranked 59th globally.
Italy’s services value added rose from the all‑time trough of 60.28 in 1990 to a peak of 66.82 in 2009, reflecting the sector’s expansion during the global financial boom, before settling at 63.95 in 2025, which places the country 59th in the world. Over the 36‑year span, the indicator has shown a modest upward trajectory, remaining close to peers such as Ukraine (63.94) and Germany (63.84) in 2025, while slightly lagging behind Lithuania (64.13) and Armenia (64.28). The post‑2009 decline suggests that the services sector’s growth has slowed relative to its pre‑crisis momentum, likely due to structural constraints and demographic pressures. Continued digitalisation, reforms to labour market flexibility, and investment in high‑value services could revive the upward trend, while stagnation in these areas may keep Italy’s services contribution near its current level.
