Research and Markets: Future of the US Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2019

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/65rqv8/future_of_the_us)

has announced the addition of the "Future

of the US Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive

Landscape and Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering.



The Future of the US Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness,

Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2018 offers the reader an insight

into the market opportunities and entry strategies adopted by foreign

original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to gain market share in the US

defense industry.

The 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA) has set a cap on total national

defense budget funding, starting with US$546 billion in 2013, to be

reduced by US$54.3 billion each subsequent year. BCA required the US

Depart ment of Defense (DoD) to take US$487 billion of reductions in its

expenditure over the period of 10 years.

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?

The US has a defense budget of US$607.5 billion (including allocation

for OCO) in 2014 and the government is expected to sustain a high level

of expenditure over the forecast period. Although the allocation for

overseas operations is estimated to remain stable at US$37.3 billion

over the forecast period, the country is expected to increase its base

military expenditure at a CAGR of 1.75%.

The expenditure will be triggered by the government's plan to acquire

advanced defense equipment coupled with replacement of old and obsolete

arms and ammunitions.

The looming threat of budget cuts and sequestration is not expected to

terminate or affect the existing contracts, but will impact DoD's future

contracts and the numbe r of military hardware to be procured under these

contracts. Significant opportunities are expected to exist https://www.lowes.com/pl/Lawn-sprinklers-Garden-hoses-accessories-Watering-irrigation-drainage-Outdoors/4294612478 in the fields

of C4ISR, aircraft, cyber security, missile defense systems and

submarines. Foreign defense companies and new entrants have the option

to cater to the US defense market via joint development programs,

strategic alliances, or acquisition of domestic players. The US

government's encouragement of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the

defense sector will also help foreign companies in entering the market.
