Future of the Swiss Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2020

LONDON, April 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Summary
With a neutral stance during times of war and a reputation for being a peace loving nation, Switzerland has traditionally assigned only modest amounts of its budget to defense. With no major threat from any nation and people voting against the procurement of military equipment and increasing the military budget, the country is expected to register lower military budget growth rates, on par with historical numbers. In 2013, thegovernment increased its defense budget expenditure by 9.4% compared to the previous year, based on a planned equipment procurement program. The growth was triggered by the country's need to invest in military equipment and devices based on new age cutting-edge technologies, replacing outdated equipment. However, in 2014 the people voted against the procurement of fighter jets from Sweden, which resulted in a decline in military expenditure. Moreover, the Ministry of Defence announced in 2014 that, following the vote, the army budget for 2015 will be slashed and this resulted in a decline by 7.1% in 2015. Consequently, military expenditure is forecast to increase steadily, to US$5.2 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 1.38%.
