Introduction and Landscape
Why was the report written?
The Pakistani Defense Industry Market Opportunities and Entry Strategies, Analyses and Forecasts to 2017 offers the reader an insight into the market opportunities and entry strategies adopted by foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to gain market share in the Pakistani defense industry.

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
Pakistan's domestic defense industry is able to fulfill the majority of the national requirements for low and mid-market technology defense systems, but is largely unable to supply technologically advanced defense systems. As a result, Pakistan was the third-largest importer of arms during 2007-2011, behind India and South Korea. The country has strong relations with both the US and China, and these nations cater to the majority of Pakistan's defense requirements. China was the major arms supplier to Pakistan during 2007-2011 as well as in 2012. Pakistan also imports diesel engines for submarines from Germany, early warning systems from Russia, and air propulsion systems for submarines from Sweden.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
The annual increases in the Pakistani defense budget are largely due to the country's long-standing territorial dispute with neighboring India and the internal instability caused by radical terrorist groups. Furthermore, the country receives substantial military aid from the US for its participation in the 'war on terror', which is used to procure advanced fighter jets and missile systems. Furthermore, the country develops, manufactures and exports a wide variety of military equipment such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), modern fighter jets, battle tanks, armored vehicles, frigates, submarines, high tech firearms and personal grenade launchers. Therefore, over the forecast period, opportunities are expected to exist in the development and export of this military equipment.
