Summary
UAE is a Middle Eastern country located on the South East end of the Arabian Peninsula of the Persian Gulf with vast oil & gas reserves. Over the last few decades, the country has experienced robust growth due to booming oil & gas exports. However, over the last few years the country has chosen to diversify its economy and is fast emerging as a vital trading and financial hub in the Middle East.

Between 2013 and 2017, the UAE's annual defense expenditure stood at an average of US$23.4 Billion per year and this is expected to increase to an average of US$35 Billion over the forecast period. On a cumulative basis, the country is expected to invest around US$174 Billion for defence purposes, of which around US$66 Billion is earmarked for capital expenditure to fund defense procurement.

The US is the largest supplier of arms to the UAE, accounting for over 62% of the country's arms imports during 2012–2016. In return for highly sophisticated defense systems, the UAE allows the US to use its ports as a base for its military operations in the Gulf. However, in an effort to reduce its dependence on a single supplier and diversify its defense systems, the UAE has also increased its purchases from France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Sweden and Russia among others. Russia also shares a burgeoning strategic relationship with the UAE and has emerged as a major supplier, accounting for around 2.5% of the UAE's arms imports between 2012 and 2016.

Scope
- Between 2013 and 2017, the UAE's defense expenditure grew significantly, making it one of the most sought-after markets for foreign defense OEMs. The multitude of deals signed with foreign OEMs at its biennial international defense exhibitions, proves the attractiveness of the UAE's defense market. The UAE's defense budget recorded a CAGR of 1.94% over the historic period, with expenditure driven by defense modernization programs, the protection of infrastructure, territorial disputes, and participation in peacekeeping initiatives.
- The UAE faces serious constraints with respect to a limited pool of trained manpower and still has a relatively nascent domestic defense industrial infrastructure. This forces the country to import technologically superior, high-tech defense equipment from suppliers abroad. Over the forecast period, attractive opportunities are expected to emerge in aerial platforms, missiles, naval platforms, and surveillance areas. The country is also expected to invest in reconnaissance, space, cyber security, border control, and digital warfare initiatives.
- The average capital expenditure allocation of the total UAE defense budget during the forecast period is anticipated to reach 37.8% from 35.2% in the historic period. The substantial increase in the capital expenditure percentage is a result of UAE's focus on modernizing its armed forces. During the forecasted period, the country is expected to invest in the procurement of multi-role aircraft, attack helicopters, armored vehicles, and cyber security capabilities.
