Holding the line: Continued strong government funding to support revenue growth

Australia's strategic environment is shifting. With the United States pulling back from Afghanistan in 2021, Operation Highroad has ended. Overseas deployments have been consigned to smaller operations in the Middle East: Accordion, Okra, Steadfast and Manitou. In recent years, Australian Defence Force (ADF) engagements have assisted domestic issues, with personnel deployed to help COVID-19 health measures and support flood-ravaged regions.

The industry is part of Australia’s public sector. The industry largely consists of the Department of Defence, which includes various groups involved in defence and national security. These groups include the army, navy, air force, intelligence organisations, and associated administrative and support functions. The industry excludes firms that provide services to defence and educational institutions for the defence force.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
