What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The UAE defense expenditure increased at a CAGR of 3.4% during the review period and valued US$9.3 billion in 2012. The modernization initiatives of the UAE are reflected in the growth of its defense budget over the review period. The multitude of deals signed with foreign OEMs at its biennial international defense expositions proves the attractiveness of the UAE's defense market. With substantial financial resources, minimal indigenous defense capabilities and a growing threat from Iran's advances in ballistic missile technology, the UAE is investing heavily in defense, with a particular focus on fighter jets, anti-missile systems and homeland security. The country is expected to spend US$52.5 billion on defense during the forecast period.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
The UAE's defense expenditure is primarily driven by its focus on the protection of critical infrastructure, its territorial dispute with Iran, and its peacekeeping initiatives in the Gulf. Oil and gas industries contribute a third of the country's GDP, making it of the highest priority for the UAE to protect its reserves which in turn are expected to drive the demand for homeland security systems in the forecast period, such as border patrol and surveillance systems.
