Scope
  • Estonia is well known for its multi-vector foreign policy, with which it manages to maintain stable relations with all of its neighbors. It is a relatively peaceful country compared to other Central European nations, which encounter frequent turbulence. Estonia is also an active participant in the NATO Partnership for Peace Program. Growth in the Estonian defense market is primarily driven by the need to modernize the country’s defense arsenal and Russia’s military aggression in Ukraine, which had brought about the possibility of an armed conflict in Europe. The country’s participation in peacekeeping operations and counter terrorism also fueled defense expenditure growth during the historic period.

  • Over 2014-2018, Estonia’s defense expenditure increased from US$512.8 million in 2014 to US$621.8 million in 2018, registering a CAGR of 4.93%. According to the Estonian Long Term Defence Development Plan 2013-2022, the majority was directed towards the ongoing armed fleet modernization program, with specific focus on the modernization of equipment. In the last few years, although in limited volumes, Estonia has consistently imported advanced arms and ammunitions such as armored vehicles, missiles and sensors to strengthen its armed forces.
