The 2026–2030 Industrial Plan continues the growth strategy pursued by Leonardo over the past three years: becoming a multinational “One Company” with a clear, integrated and international industrial vision. The Group has been strengthened through the rationalization of its portfolio, the launch of new products, strategic international partnerships and joint ventures, selective M&A transactions, as well as strong digitization and enhanced production capacity. This path has enabled the Group to present itself on the global stage with a more solid structure, ready to seize the opportunities of a rapidly evolving market.

The update of the Plan to 2030 responds to a new context in which threats have changed in nature, speed and scale. Hypersonic missiles, ballistic vectors, drones and cyber-attacks are increasing uncertainty and operational complexity, requiring a paradigm shift: security no longer concerns only the traditional perimeter of defense, but directly affects the economic and social continuity of nations. Critical infrastructure, transport, agriculture, financial services, manufacturing, energy and chemicals are now exposed to interconnected risks capable of impacting growth and prosperity over the next decade.

Estimates confirm the scale of the challenge: the budget of global security is expected to increase from around USD 0.4 trillion per year in 2020 to more than 1 trillion per year by 2030, while the economic impact of cybercrime could rise from around 1 trillion per year in 2020 to 1 trillion per month by 2030.

For this reason, Leonardo intends to further strengthen its positioning as a leading player in Global Security, combining industrial leadership, innovation capabilities and the development of multi-domain dual-use solutions serving the security, resilience and competitiveness of national systems. Leonardo can rely on a renewed and comprehensive portfolio of solutions, developed both organically and through inorganic initiatives, capable of effectively addressing current and emerging global security needs.
