European Defense Logistics (Information Systems) Market Assessment
Frost & Sullivan, May 2009, Pages: 79
Military Cost Cutting and Rationalisation Initiatives to Drive Uptake of Defence Logistics Information Systems
The defence logistics (information systems) market in Europe is at a growth stage with numerous companies operating in it. The market is estimated to grow at a steady rate and peak in 2010 and then gradually decrease to enter the maturity stage by 2017. Cost cutting and rationalisation plans of various militaries and improved web-enabled logistics systems are the most important factors driving this market. The most significant challenge for suppliers and integrators of defence logistics information systems is to provide end users with high quality solutions under acute cost and time constraints.
'Cost cutting and rationalisation plans of various militaries and enhanced web-enabled logistics systems are the key market drivers,' notes the analyst of this research. 'These factors will continue to be the most important catalysts in market development over the long term.' Various European nations are focused on saving funds that could be spent on expensive arms rather than on combat support. To avoid wasteful expenditure by ensuring that the right consignments arrive in the right place at the right time, European militaries are moving towards implementing more efficient logistics information systems. Moreover, there is a desire to rationalise military logistics by moving towards cross-service interoperability. Web technologies have improved substantially in terms of speed and the amount of information that is transmitted. Such improved technologies provide an accurate and up-to-date picture of all assets and the supply state of all units at any one time and, thus, reduce wastage in terms of unnecessary spares and the number of personnel required to maintain inventory stockpiles. These factors will have a significant impact on market prospects.
Demand to be for Lean and Agile Systems with Robust Support Networks
The biggest challenge for suppliers and integrators will be to provide end users with high quality defence logistics IT solutions under severe cost and time constraints. 'The armed forces of various European nations and Israel are in the process of transforming their logistics information systems in an effort to streamline and rationalise their logistics activities,' remarks the analyst. 'The final goal of these nations is to have one comprehensive, integrated defence logistics software solution. In the process of attaining this goal, they are looking to acquire lean and agile, highly deployable, open logistics systems with robust support networks.'
The market revenues in each of these countries will peak depending on the time the different logistics IT projects are initiated. For instance, the United Kingdom will initiate its future logistics information systems project in 2010. A few years after this, other important NATO members, including France, Italy and Spain are expected to follow suit and work towards implementing similar systems. Nordic governments will work towards integrating their individual logistics systems into one comprehensive system. In the long term, NATO member nations might work towards a comprehensive integrated logistics system as well.
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled European Defence Logistics (Information Systems) Market Assessment provides an overview of market developments in ten nations of Europe as well as Israel. The research examines the situation of the top competitors apart from the progress made by other market participants.
