Defense/Military
The global defense & military manufacturing market manufactures complete military aircraft, missiles, land vehicles to ships.
The military/defense market is predicted to increase due a variety of reasons. In the US, there is expected to be an increase in the US defense budget and a greater focus on strengthening the military. In the Middle East, Eastern Europe, North Korea, and the East and South China Seas, there are escalating global tensions which have led to increasing international demand for defense and military products. This, in turn, has resulted in an increased defense spending globally in next generation military equipment.
With this optimistic positive growth, military manufacturers understand that this is a time for fundamental transformation for this market.
Key Trends to Watch:
- Defense Budget Uncertainty
- New Business Models and Markets
- Demand for Innovative Products/New Technologies
