What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The Argentine defense budget stands at US$3.64 billion in 2012 and recorded a CAGR of 15.77% during the review period. This healthy growth is expected to continue with a CAGR of 19.22% over the forecast period, which is mainly driven by modernization plans, participation in peacekeeping missions, and disputes over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands and their natural resources. During the review period, capital expenditure was allocated an average of 4% of the defense budget and this low allocation was due to the high expenditure on salaries and pensions, which account for 70% of the defense budget. However, modernization plans are expected to increase capital expenditure to an average of 7.8% of the defense budget during the forecast period.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Defense expenditure will be driven by modernization programs, contributions to international peacekeeping missions and the Falkland Islands dispute with the UK. The Argentine government is expected to increase its defense budget at a robust pace in order to modernize its defense equipment and support its domestic defense industry. As part of the United Nations (UN), the Argentine government began to contribute to peacekeeping missions in 1958 and since then has contributed over 35,000 troops for various peacekeeping missions around the world.
