Declining oil prices, regional threats, and changes in political intent are drawing new trends and perspectives across the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) countries. This private market insight assesses future military spending, new equipment requirements, and best-positioned local companies in the Middle-Eastern countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Among the main perspectives, renewing wisely ageing equipment and nurturing the local industrial base are the most noticeable. The study includes specific country breakdowns, discussing their military spending forecasts and an overview of their local competitors.
