Key Highlights
The South African defense market, though not particularly large, is growing moderately, with a defense expenditure allocation of US$XX billion for 2010. Post-apartheid, the country witnessed a significant decline in its defense budget, both in terms of value and as a percentage of GDP. Furthermore, the lack of military aggression by neighboring countries and very low terrorist activity levels has contributed to the recent overall reductions in defense spending.
Although the threat from external aggression is low, South Africa does have one of the world’s highest crime rates and this has raised questions regarding the country’s future prospects and has prompted the South African Government to intensify its focus on tackling crime. Furthermore, as the country is engaged in various peacekeeping missions as a result of its membership of the United Nations, African Union and Southern African Development Community, external funding for these missions also increases the defense budget.
By 2016, ICD Research estimates that South Africa’s defense expenditure as a percentage of its gross domestic product (GDP) will rise from its 2011 level of XX.XX% to XX.XX%. This translates to a budget increase from US$XX.XX billion in 2010 to US$XX.XX billion in 2016, and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of XX.XX%. Currently, XX.XX% of the defense budget is allocated for revenue expenditure, and the remaining for capital expenditure, a trend that is not expected to vary significantly by 2016.
As a result of the challenges caused by increased crime levels, it is expected that there will be a greater immediate demand for monitoring and security check equipment in the forecast period, including CCTV. During the forecast period, ICD also expects a rise in demand for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), military transport fleet, maritime surveillance equipment, patrol aircraft, landward defense systems, and survey vessels.
