In 2026, the Lithuanian government allocated $5.5 billion to its defense budget, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.6% from 2022 to 2026. The analyst estimates that the defense budget will amount to $5.7 billion in 2027. The nation's defense budget is projected to expand at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period, reaching $8.8 billion by 2031. This growth in defense expenditure is anticipated to be propelled by increased investments in acquisition programs and the expansion of personnel.

Lithuanian defense spending is driven by the modernization of its armed forces with the aim of better countering a potential invasion from Russia, a concern exacerbated by the invasion of Ukraine. Like the other Baltic states and former members of the Eastern Bloc, Lithuania is divesting aging Soviet equipment and procuring modern replacements from the West. To that end, Lithuania is procuring the M142 HIMARS and ATACMS missiles, which will provide a modern indirect fires capability, and the Mobile Short-Range Air Defense (MSHORAD) system, which will provide a rapidly deployable short-range air defense capability to protect both fixed installations and moving military formations. NATO membership is key to Lithuanian defense and national security, with the country keen to meet the Trump administration’s demand that European NATO members increase their defense spending. This includes the commitment to allocate a minimum of 3.5% of GDP to defense by 2035.
