It provides detailed analysis of both historic and forecast defense industry values including key growth stimulators, analysis of the leading companies in the industry, and key news.
Introduction and Landscape
Why was the report written?
The UK defense Industry Market Opportunities and Entry Strategies, Analyses and Forecasts to 2017offers the reader an insight into the market opportunities and entry strategies adopted by foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to gain market share in the UK defense industry.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The UK has one of the largest defense industries in the world. During the review period the UK's defense budget recorded a CAGR of -2.41%. Expenditure is primarily driven by potential terrorist threats and participation in peacekeeping initiatives. The defense budget, which stood at 2.5% of GDP in 2012, is expected to decrease to 1.6% of GDP by 2017 due to defense budget cuts announced by the government. During the review period, capital expenditure allocation stood at 24.7% of the total defense budget, and over the forecast period this is expected to decrease to 23.8%.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Peace keeping operations and terrorism are the primary drivers of defense spending. The UK is engaged in a significant number of peace keeping operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan and Cyprus, and is a member of the European Union (EU), United Nations Security Council and a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). UK operations in Iraq consist of 150 British Royal Navy and Royal Marine personnel, deployed alongside US military forces to train and mentor the Iraqi Navy. The level of terrorist activity of extremist groups in the UK increased considerably following the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the US and the international military operations against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.

Key Market Issues
The UK government has announced a reduction in defense expenditure over the next five years in order to control the country's increasing fiscal deficit. Such reductions will lead to a decline in procurements and are expected to have a negative impact on domestic defense companies. The announcement of defense budget cuts followed the Strategic Defense and Security Review conducted in October 2010 and follows many other countries that have already cut their defense budgets, resulting in a contracted global defense market. Consequent to the government's decision to decommission the Nimrod and Harrier jets, BAE Systems, a predominant supplier of the MoD, announced 1,300 potential job cuts in December 2010.
The MoD protects domestic defense companies by allowing only direct offsets to foreign exporters and by encouraging foreign bidders to use UK sub-contractors on a competitive basis. In addition, the UK government gives priority to domestic companies in meeting its Urgent Operational Requirements. Since the UK is a member of the EU, defense procurements for goods and services are conducted in accordance with the EU Procurement Regulations.
Key Highlights
The UK's defense expenditure, which values US$61.91 billion in 2012, recorded a CAGR of -2.41% during the review period, and is expected to register a CAGR of -2.04% over the forecast period, to reach US$52.21 billion by 2017. Over the forecast period the UK's cumulative defense expenditure is expected to value US$276 billion, of which the nation is expected to spend US$264.7 billion on defense capability and the remaining US$11.3 billion on peace keeping and war pension benefits.
The UK's homeland security is comprised of police services, fire protection services, law courts, prisons and others. The UK's homeland security budget stood atUS$49 billion in 2012, and is projected to decline to US$46.8 billion by 2017. Over the next five years, the government is expected to cut spending on central government police funding, UK Border Agency funding, the Home Office central administration budget and capital budget. A reduction in police service spending will be achieved through efficiency measures in police services administration, the introduction of directly elected police and crime commissioners, the merger of the National Policing Improvement Agency into the National Crime Agency and reducing support and purchasing costs in the UK Border Agency.
During 2007-2011, UK defense imports demonstrated significant growth, despite recording a sharp decline in 2009 due to the global financial crisis and the subsequent reduction in total government expenditure. Over the last five years, defense imports grew significantly mainly due to the higher costs of capital additions and equipment support for military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, due to the budget cuts announced by the government over the forecast period, imports of defense equipment are expected to register a decline.
