The UK defense budget grew by only 1% in 2022 to $63.9 billion, up from $63.3 billion in 2021. This follows a substantial jump in budget size form 2020 to 2021, when the UK refocused its efforts on utilizing defense spending to stimulate the domestic economy in the wake of COVID-19. Acquisition spending is also forecast to grow from $21.0 billion in 2022 to $27.2 billion in 2027. This will allow the UK to maintain its deterrent forces, both nuclear and conventional, in the face of a rapidly destabilizing global security environment.

This report offers detailed analysis of the UK defense market with market size forecasts covering the next five years. This report will also analyze factors that influence demand for the industry, key market trends, and challenges faced by industry participants.

Key Highlights

• The UK has been providing military aid to Ukraine: from deliveries of lethal military aid to training Ukrainian troops in the UK. The ability to continue to deliver such assistance requires a longer-term financial commitment by the MoD.
• The use of defense spending as a stimulant for the UK economy is a major driver of the continued growth of the British defense budget. This is inline with the Defense and Security Industrial Strategy 2021 that aims to use the industry as a “strategic tool”.
• DSIS 2021 removed the policy of ‘global competition by default’. In its place, the MoD is aiming to use the domestic defense industry as a strategic capability in its own right. This is a challenge for foreign OEMs as it will potentially make it harder to win contracts when facing bidders that are UK based or have strong UK based operations.
• The complexity of the UK defense industry can be a blocker to SMEs and more mid-tier businesses looking to participate. The complexity of tier 1 companies and the high staff turnover that exists at the MoD can result in SMEs getting lost in the process of trying to engage in the market.
