Key Market Issues
Romania is expected to invest US$9.39 billion in its armed forces, of which expenditure on the acquisition of military hardware is forecast to be US$1.56 billion, offering foreign OEMs limited opportunities to cater to the Romanian defense industry. Due to the economic crisis, Romania had postponed the procurement of equipment in 2011, which resulted in dropping shares of capital expenditure in overall defense expenditure.
According to Transparency International's 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index, Romania dropped in rank to 25th in the EU. Incidents of malpractice within the country’s military industrial base may limit the growth of the country’s defense sector. In addition to damaging the country’s image in the global arms market, it also discourages foreign OEMs from entering the market.
As a result of low investment on R&D of advanced technology defense systems, the country’s defense capabilities are limited in terms of production of aircraft, small arms, and ammunition. Many domestic companies act as subcontractors to larger European and US defense companies. This forced the country to import defense equipment such as air defense systems, sensors, aircraft and aircraft parts, armored vehicles, missiles, and engines, as domestic suppliers lack the capabilities to manufacture advanced defense systems.
Key Highlights
Romanian defense expenditure, estimated at US$1.64 billion during 2012, declined at a CAGR of -11.96% during the review period. During the forecast period, it is expected to record a CAGR of 6.78% and reach US$2.14 billion by 2016. Over the next five years the country’s defense expenditure will be driven by factors such as participation in peace keeping missions, joint training operations, and improvements in border control measures.
The country’s homeland security budget is expected to be driven by the policing of human trafficking, smuggling, and cybercrime. The danger of weapons and drug smuggling from Transnistria, a small breakaway republic from Moldova, makes the country’s border security particularly challenging. In order to counter the threats posed by these criminal activities, the country is expected to invest in surveillance and intelligence technologies such as electronic identification documents, e-passports, automated border crossing systems, and CCTV systems.
