NEW YORK, July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Future of the Australia Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2022

Summary

Australian defense budget recorded a CAGR of 0.28% during the historic period (2013-2017), from US$26.2 Billion in 2013 to US$26.5 Billion in 2017. Modernization initiatives and advanced equipment procurement programs - as outlined in white papers published by the Australian Department of Defence (DoD) - will drive expenditure. According to one white paper, the country is expected to undertake a number of modernization and procurement programs over the coming decade. Participation in a number of UN peacekeeping operations will also fuel the country's defense expenditure, propelling the budget from US$27.5 Billion in 2016 to US$35.4 Billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 6.54%.

During the historic period, other expenditure - which comprises intelligence capabilities, chief operating officers, defense support and reforms, chief information officers, science and technology - accounted for 41.6% of the total defense budget and valued at US$10.90 Billion in 2017. It will average 44.0% over the forecast period. Due to security threats from terrorist organizations and the deployment of troops in overseas peacekeeping missions, Australia will focus on the acquisition of multirole aircraft, helicopters, nuclear attack submarines, patrol ships, frigates, and armored vehicles.

To accelerate exports, the government established the Defense Export Unit (DEU), which assists domestic companies in gaining access to the export market. The Australian Industry Capability (AIC) plan was designed to provide domestic firms with access to external global supply chains and foreign firms' technology.
The preferred entry route for most foreign OEMs looking to enter the Australian defense market has been to establish a subsidiary or acquire a domestic firm. Increasingly, foreign OEMs are entering the market by sub-contracting business to the domestic industry or entering into a foreign direct investment (FDI) scheme. In recognition, the DoD launched a scheme rewarding those defense suppliers that maintain a successful relationship with the Australian Defense Organization.
