Future of the Spain Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2022

Summary

Spanish defense industry, which values US$8.1 Billion in 2017, is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.16% over the forecast period, to reach US$10.2 Billion by 2022. The country is currently facing a physical debt due to economic slowdown, which has resulted in a cut in military procurements over the historic period 2013-2017. However, over the forecast period, Spain's defense expenditure will be stimulated by its involvement in existing military procurement programs, security threats from terrorist organizations, and territorial disputes with Morocco. The country's defense budget is expected to be capped at an average of 0.7% of GDP over the forecast period.

Government expenditure on the Spanish homeland security market has been increasing because of growing troubles posed by drug trafficking, illegal immigration, and terrorist activities. Spain's geographical location, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, makes it favorable for the transit of drugs and border crossings. Furthermore, the recent turmoil in the North African region has led to increased illegal immigration in Spain, thereby increasing the urgency of acquiring enhanced border security and control. The forecast period is expected to witness enhanced opportunities in security systems and its related platforms. The Spanish homeland security budget is valued at US$8.5 Billion in 2017 and is anticipated to increase to US$11.2 Billion by 2022, reflecting a CAGR of 3.89% over the forecast period 2018-2022.

Scope

- In 2017, the Spanish government allocated US$8.1 billion for the total defense budget, which recorded a CAGR of 0.79% between 2013 and 2017. The marginal growth in defense expenditure is primarily due to the aftershocks of the European debt crisis, which has greatly weakened the foundations of the Spanish economy and forced the country to rationalize and re-prioritize its defense spending. The country is expected to witness higher levels of budget allocations over the forecast period, during which the expenditure is anticipated to increase at a CAGR of 5.16%.
- During 2013-2017, revenue expenditure accounted for an average of 84.8% of the total Spanish defense expenditure. The remaining 15.2% was spent on procuring equipment and services. The implementation of budget cuts and reform measures, such as the reduction of troop sizes and no new procurement programs by the MoD, are expected to curtail overall expenditure. Over the forecast period, the country's defense capital allocations are anticipated to increase marginally and average 16.1% of its defense budget, while revenue expenditure accounts for the remaining 83.9% of the budget.
- The MoD is expected to invest in fighters and Multi-role aircraft, Military-IT networking and transport and utility aircraft.
