Scope
  • Taiwan’s military expenditure stands at US$10.9 billion in 2018 and the main factors driving this growth are the rapid modernization of the country’s armed forces in recent years and the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) assertiveness with regards to territorial claims.

  • The capital expenditure allocation, which stood at an average of 18.2% during the historic period, primarily due to the country’s procurement contracts for corvettes, diesel-electric submarines, missile defense systems, and multi-role aircraft.

  • Taiwanese defense imports witnessed substantial growth over the period 2013-2017. Imports in 2013 were low due to delayed deliveries by the US, which was under pressure from the People's Republic of China (PRC), however, to compensate this, Taiwan started importing engines from Germany. During the forecast period, the US is expected to remain the largest supplier of defense equipment as other countries are reluctant to supply military equipment due to pressure from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The country’s imports were highest in 2014 due to the procurement of air defense systems, missiles, and aircraft.
