Why was the report written?

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The Malaysian defense industry is expected to record a CAGR of 7.5% over the forecast period, and the country has a limited presence in the global defense industry. The primary reason for the strong growth anticipated in Malaysian defense expenditure is the country's previously inadequate levels of spending, and the need to therefore invest significant amounts in order to possess effective armed forces. Consequently, the country's defense expenditure is expected to increase throughout the forecast period, with the capital expenditure allocation of the Malaysian defense budget expected to increase from 22% in 2012 to 25% by 2017. Despite this, as a percentage of GDP, Malaysia's defense expenditure is expected to decline from an average of 1.7% to an average of 1.5%, as a result of the increasing deficit reduction efforts of the Malaysian Government. Over the forecast period, the country's homeland security expenditure is expected to be driven by increasing criminal activity and religious tensions.
