During the forecast period, the defense budget is expected to be US$11.1 billion and increase at a CAGR of 6.95%.As Bangladesh has just two state-controlled defense equipment manufacturing units, the country has no other option but to import military hardware from foreign defense operators. In this regard, China holds the leading position as the arms exporter of Bangladesh, primarily due to the dynamics and diplomatic relations shared between the two governments.
