WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - May 19, 2016) - Avascent today released a white paper that provides an in-depth analysis of international defense spending patterns which predicts shifting of market dominance over the next 10 years. Using data from Avascent Analytics Global Platforms and Systems (GPS) database, the white paper reasons that over the coming decade, Western defense suppliers will face increased competition in international markets historically considered to be the near exclusive preserve of American and European firms.
"We specifically see Western firms facing rising pressure from three vectors," said Doug Berenson, co-author and leader of Avascent Analytics. "The increasing number of countries seeking to satisfy requirements from domestic defense industries; the encroachment of Chinese and Russian suppliers in markets formerly aligned with Western sources; and emerging non-Western suppliers capable of competing against more established defense suppliers."
The GPS database analyzes the defense spending of 55 countries and covers approximately 95 percent of international defense investment spending that is accessible to Western defense suppliers. The database additionally features a comprehensive "topline" forecast of each country's total defense spending over a 10-year period, as well as a detailed "bottom-up" analysis of its program-by-program plans. The white paper analysis used this data to project how each country will spend its investment resources over the next 10 years.
"This groundbreaking analysis indicates that there are broader emerging dynamics that Western defense companies should consider when evaluating opportunities," said Steve Irwin, President of Avascent. "The process of finding, prioritizing, shaping and bidding on new opportunities, which was already an extremely complex and expensive proposition, will inevitably get increasingly difficult. Firms need to recognize that what worked in the past is unlikely to prevail in the coming environment."
