Brazilian Defense Market - Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2024
Summary
The Brazilian defense budget is expected to reach US$40.2 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 7.76% over the forecast period. Over the forecast period, Brazilian military expenditure, which stands at US$27.9 billion in 2019, is anticipated to grow from US$29.8 billion in 2020 to value US$40.2 billion in 2024, registering a CAGR of 7.76%. This growth will primarily be driven by the country’s military modernization initiatives. The country’s defense expenditure will largely be boosted by the Brazilian MoD’s increasing efforts to replace its aging military systems and equipment, military procurements that are largely focused on the protection of its substantial resources from illegal mining, deforestation, and drug trafficking.
Military capital expenditure, on a cumulative basis, is anticipated to be US$21.4 billion over the forecast period, which is higher than the US$15.2 billion spent during the historic period. The increase is due to the release of budgetary pressures owing to a recovery in economic conditions from 2017, which has prompted the country to adopt previously postponed defense procurement plans.
Brazilian homeland security expenditure is anticipated to be US$4.8 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.36% to reach US$6 billion in 2024. This expenditure is primarily driven by the country’s focus on enhancing its defense capabilities to counter the increasing rate of cyber-attacks, modernizing its border control and security infrastructure, and increasing efforts by the government to control organized crimes such as drug trafficking and border crossing.
Brazil predominantly relies on imports to retain its military edge. During the historic period, the country’s defense imports were the highest in 2018, with aircraft and naval vessels dominating the imports category and France and the US being the main suppliers. In order to protect its oil rich reserves in the Amazon basin, Brazil is spending heavily on naval vessel procurements. The Brazilian defense industry is still in its early development stage, and defense exports are mostly limited to less developed nations such as Afghanistan, Indonesia and Lebanon, among others.
In order to promote Brazil’s domestic defense industry, the majority of its arms imports deals include technology transfer obligations. These obligations have been a key deterrent for foreign OEMs entering the Brazilian industry, as a number of foreign defense firms are either reluctant to share proprietary information or are prohibited by their indigenous country's policy regarding the transfer of technology.
