Global Global Defense Logistics Market 2023-2030

Global Defense Logistics Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Service Type (Armament, Military Troop, Technical Support & Maintenance, Medical Aid, Fire-fighting Protection, and Others), by Application (Military Infrastructure, Military Logistics Services, and Military Foreign Military Sales (FMS)), by Transportation Mode (Roadways, Airways, Seaways, and Railways), and by End User (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Others) Forecast Period (2023-2030)

The global defense logistics market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 2.3% during the forecast period. According to the Internation Institute of Strategic Studies, in nominal terms, global defense spending has been on a strong upward trajectory over the last five years, increasing from a nominal $1.7 trillion in 2017 to $2.0 trillion in 2022. The growth of the market is attributed to factors such as increasing defense spending, rising geopolitical tensions, and the growing demand for efficient logistics support in military operations. Further, advancements in technology, increasing demand for armament, troop support, and maintenance services, as well as the emphasis on military infrastructure development, are some of the factors anticipated to fuel the demand for defense logistics. For instance, in July 2021, the National Defense Authorization Act, which sets annual policy for the Department of Defense (DOD), has been enacted into law for 60 consecutive years. The provisions of the bill involved secured authorizations for nearly $128 million in funding for military facilities across Michigan. The bill authorizes $23 million in Alpena aircraft and maintenance facility & new testing designation and other similar provisions.

The segmental growth is attributed to the growing demand for regular maintenance and repair of defense equipment. Also, increased capacity for the production and manufacturing of defense equipment is anticipated to drive the growth of the sub-segment. For instance, in July 2022, French defense major Safran Group set up a production facility in Hyderabad to produce parts and components for advanced aircraft engines with an investment of $37.9 million, besides a big-ticket joint venture with state-run aerospace behemoth HAL. The MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) facility to be established in Hyderabad through the foreign direct investment of $150 million will be for the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines being used in aircraft by both Indian and foreign commercial airlines.

Regional Outlooks

The global Defense Logistics market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. Among these, North America is anticipated to hold a prominent market share in the global defense logistics market, driven by the presence of major defense manufacturers and suppliers, along with the high defense expenditure.
