Finnish Defense Market - Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2024
Summary
Finland is a geo-strategically vital base due to it being in Russia’s vicinity. Political and military developments in Russia significantly influence the country’s security. The Baltic Sea is a predominant logistic transport corridor for Finland, and Russia’s rising interests in this area are expected to impact the country’s security. The Finnish annual defense budget is valued at US$0.60 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.66% over the forecast period to reach US$0.76 billion in 2023. This increase can be attributed to international peacekeeping missions, modernization initiatives, and a perceived security threat from Russia.
Finland’s capital expenditure allocation, which stood at an average of US$0.16 billion during the historic period, is projected to increase to an average of US$0.32 billion over 2020-2024. Key opportunities for equipment suppliers are expected to cover the program to replace the current fleet of 62 Boeing F/A-18 Hornet fighters and the Finnish Defense Forces Logistics Command procurement of surface-to-air missile systems (ITO20) for its Pohjanmaa-class corvettes as part of the Squadron 2020 project.
Finnish defense expenditure as a percentage of GDP recorded an average of 0.23% during 2015-2019 and is expected to average 0.25% over the forecast period. Finnish per capita income stood at an average of US$98.3 with a CAGR of 4.33% during 2015-2019 and is set to increase to an average of US$124.8 with a CAGR of 4.13% over the forecast period.
Finland has a developed defense industry that is mainly focused on the production of land-based systems; as such, for other advanced military hardware, the country depends on imports from other nations. Imports are expected to increase over the forecast period. Finland supplied defense equipment to Poland, the UK, Sweden, Egypt, Ireland, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Colombia, Norway, and Algeria during 2014-2018, while the country’s largest amount of defense exports were sent to Poland in 2014.
