Future of the Romanian Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2023
Summary
Romania’s ongoing modernization of the country’s armed forces to meet NATO standards, along with its participation in international peacekeeping missions, drove Romania’s defense expenditure during the historic period. With this trend expected to continue over the forecast period, the country’s defense expenditure is anticipated to cumulatively value close to US$30 billion during 2019-2023. The defense budget as a percentage of GDP is expected to increase slightly in the forecast period.
Romania’s capital expenditure allocation is expected to significantly increase during 2019-2023, primarily due to the procurement of additional F-16 multirole aircraft, multirole aircraft MRO, a HIMARS rocket artillery system, a Patriot missile defense system, corvettes, 8X8 armored vehicles, and submarines. The government’s focus on its modernization plans, which require the procurement of more advanced military equipment with improved technology, is expected to drive capital expenditure over the forecast period. Revenue expenditure is also projected to increase over the forecast period at a CAGR of over 8.8%, which will be directed towards additional recruitment, training, and development programs for military personnel.
Aircraft accounted for the majority of Romania’s imports during 2012-2016, with Portugal being the largest supplier. The country acquired C-27J tactical transport aircraft and F-16 AM/BM Fighting Falcons. Sensors, armored vehicles, engines, and missiles were the other imports during 2012-2016, with Italy, the US, Switzerland and France being the other significant suppliers. However, the forecast period is not expected to witness any significant increase in the country’s imports. Instead, Romania will boost defense procurements steadily over the forecast period.

Scope
- The Romanian defense budget is valued at US$4.8 billion in 2018 and registered a CAGR of 23.57% during the historic period. The ongoing modernization of the country’s armed forces to meet NATO standards, along with its participation in international peacekeeping missions, drove Romania’s defense expenditure during the historic period.
- With this trend expected to continue over the forecast period, the country’s defense expenditure is anticipated to cumulatively value US$31.3 billion during 2019-2023. The defense budget as a percentage of GDP is expected to increase slightly, from an average of 1.5% during the historic period to 2.2% during 2019-2023.
- The Romanian Ministry of Defence (MoD) allocated an average of 32.6% to capital expenditure during 2014-2018, and this is expected to increase over the forecast period to reach 41.7%. Currently, due to the austerity measures, the government is focusing on the acquisition of high-quality second-hand equipment to save costs.
- Its military modernization programs include the procurement of 12 second hand ex-Portuguese F-16 fighters, Piranha V armored vehicles, air defense radars, and surface to air missile systems, among others. Furthermore, under the soldier modernization program, “Warrior 2020”, the army plans to procure communications, automatic mortars, C4I subsystems, lightweight superior ballistic protection, and smart munitions systems to create a mobile force.
- The MoD is expected to invest in Land-based C4ISR, Military IT-Networking and Maritime Surveillance and Detection.
