Future of the Lebanese Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2023

Summary

The Syrian civil war has resulted in a large number of refugees’ crossing over to Lebanon to live in camps. As a consequence, these refugee camps have increased the burden on the Lebanese economy by fuelling sectarian violence in the country and complicating its internal security. Plagued by sectarian violence, the country faces increasing threats of militancy, homegrown extremism, and unrest in refugee camps.

On the other hand, the growing military power of Israel and the volatile security situation in the region has forced the Lebanese Government to prioritize the modernization of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with the help of foreign aid. Lebanon’s internal security expenditure will primarily be driven by the need to protect the country from sectarian violence and drug trafficking. In the coming years, modernizing the police force and developing domestic infrastructure are expected to be the primary areas for investment by the government.

Lebanon’s military expenditure, which is valued at US$2.6 billion in 2018, registered a CAGR of 2.98% during 2014-2018. Moreover, the country is anticipated to record a CAGR of 5.01% over the forecast period to value US$3.3 billion in 2023. As a percentage of GDP, the country’s defense and security expenditure is estimated to average 4.8% over the forecast period compared to an average of 4.9% recorded during the historic period.
