MSPO 2018: Spotlight on one of the fastest growing defence markets in the world
Ahead of the 26th Annual MSPO taking place in Kielce this week, Dominik Kimla analyses Central and Eastern Europe as one of the fastest growing defence markets in the world presenting sizable market opportunities for Western defence suppliers. Driven by the implementation of technical modernisation programmes, the biggest cumulative defence spending will be generated by Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic with $73.31 billion $28.59 billion and $19.16 billion respectively. However, challenges remain in the region and to be successful on the market, defence suppliers must be prepared to swiftly react to CEE’s constantly changing dynamics and proactively engage and integrate the local industrial base into their supply chains.
