Cyber security market to be worth $68.34BN

The global cyber security market is set to be worth $68.34bn in 2013, as exceedingly high-demand continues for information security systems across governments, global militaries, and the private sector.The global market for cyber solutions has been a topic of increasing interest in a variety of industries and public sector organisations for several years and for a number of reasons. The first of these is the indisputable rise of cyber crime, malware attack, information theft and hacking which has accompanied the expansion of the internet. Threat of attack via cyberspace has in recent years become a real concern not only of public organisations guarding state secrets, but also of commercial entities seeking to remain profitable.
Cyber security is one of the strongest growth markets in the defence & security industry at present. It is important to emphasise that, uniquely, the playing field is currently very level internationally (in terms of capability); and this is almost certain to provide a major stimulus to spending in years to come, as threats evolve and militaries place increased emphasis on modernised, network-centric warfare. Moreover, the cyber security market transcends traditional defence expenditure: the private sector remains very insecure in regard to the cyber threat and the increase importance of safeguarding intellectual property is certain to ensure that higher spending is necessary across all areas of industry and commerce. Lastly, the threat to national infrastructure cannot be discounted as a major area of spending. Taken altogether, cyber security represents a major growth market which will reward both vendors and purchasers.

The Netherlands defense budget allocation of US$10.1 billion in 2013

The Netherlands is one of the top 20 defense markets across the world, with a defense budget allocation of US$10.1 billion in 2013. Primarily driven by military modernization programs, and coast guard and internal security the country’s defense expenditure is expected to register a CAGR of -0.31% during the period 2014-18. This decrease in spending is expected to be primarily due to the European debt crisis, which will force the Netherlands to cut its defense budget over the forecast period. The country’s defense imports and exports recovered in 2012 and are expected to grow over the forecast period, as the country is expected focus on acquiring equipment for maritime security, C2/C4ISR, and homeland security infrastructure.Defense expenditure in the Netherlands is primarily driven by military modernization, joint operations with the police force for the internal security of the country. Military Modernization: Participation of the country’s armed forces in peacekeeping initiatives affected the functionality of its defense equipment, especially the condition of the equipment deployed in Afghanistan, such as F-16s, armored vehicles, and helicopters.

Malaysian defense expenditure increased at a CAGR of 6.37% during the review period and valued US$4.96 billion

Malaysian defense expenditure increased at a CAGR of 6.37% during the review period and valued US$4.96 billion in 2013. The focus of the Malaysian government will be on the modernization of its armed forces, participation in peacekeeping operations, and counter terrorism activities.The Malaysian government fulfills most of its defense needs by importing military equipment from the foreign countries such as Russia, Germany, France, and Spain. The overall exports of the country during the period 2008-2012 were negligible, resulting in poor inflow of foreign investment. During the forecast period, the defense exports of the country are expected to remain low as a result of less joint development and collaboration programs, which is expected to remain the key challenge for the Malaysian defense industry during the forecast period.
The Malaysian defense budget, which is estimated at US$4.9 billion for 2013, is lower than the majority of Malaysia's neighbors, with the Philippines being one of the few countries with a lower defense budget, and this relatively small defense budget frequently deters investors from venturing into the country. Moreover, the Malaysian government has made offsets mandatory for all defense procurements exceeding US$13 million, and in an attempt to encourage domestic defense development, the Malaysian government awards additional significance to direct offsets; however, due to the lack of sufficient investment and a shortage of skilled Malaysian labor, foreign OEMs are unable to transfer sophisticated technology to domestic defense companies. The combination of the factors outlined above reduces the attractiveness of the Malaysian defense industry for foreign OEMs.

Saudi Arabian Defense Industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.92% to reach US$77.3 billion


Saudi Arabia is estimated to have the fourth largest defense budget in the world, behind the US, China, and Russia. Valued at US$52.9 billion in 2013, the country’s defense expenditure is at the seventh position among the top 10 military spenders and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.92% to reach US$77.3 billion by 2018. Saudi Arabia’s military expenditure as a percentage of GDP will from its current 7.3% to 9.1% by 2018 due to slowing economic growth over the forecast period. An underdeveloped domestic defense industry coupled with the country’s high spending power presents ample opportunities for foreign OEMs to enter the market through an alliance route.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
A strained relationship with Iran, high spending power, and the need to develop a skilled military force to be key factors driving defense expenditure. The Saudi Arabian government’s hopes of strengthening its defense infrastructure in order to emerge as the most powerful nation in the Middle East have been supported by many years of high oil prices and strong economic growth. The rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Middle East is a regional power struggle for influence, in which both sides have aimed at steering the course of events, shaping developments, and influencing decisions in the region according to their political preferences and interests. The fact that the Saudi’s average defense expenditure as a percentage of GDP during the review period measured a significant 7.9% implies it has the purchasing power to procure state of the art defense equipment. In fact the country registered a figure of 7.3% with regards to its defense expenditure as a percentage of GDP, which was the highest among the world’s largest military spenders for 2012.

China’s defense expenditure over the forecast period, which is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.9%.

The Chinese defense industry is controlled by the government, and restrictions on private and foreign companies dampen the competition in the industry. A lack of competition diminishes the need for innovation in defense equipment and related technology advancement. Barring a few industrial enterprises, the majority of organizations fail to compete with each other, which impedes the development of China’s modern indigenous defense industry as there is no incentive for companies to innovate. Furthermore, some of China’s industrial–defense enterprises form business relationships based on long-standing political ties with regions and provinces. As a result, the country fails to gain access to technological innovations and advancements in foreign countries.
A major obstacle to investment in the Chinese defense industry is the arms embargo imposed by the US and other European countries, following the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. During the review period, some European states have proposed the lift of the arms ban, but the US and Japan have opposed this proposal due to fears that it will enable China to enhance its military capabilities. As a result, China’s defense industry is unable to acquire sophisticated military hardware from the US or Western European countries, and this hampers the development of its military–industrial complex.
