Report Highlight:

Portugal has been severely affected by the debt crisis, which mandated the country to adopt harsh austerity measures such as reducing wages and salaries in public sectors and raising tax rates however the country‘s military expenditure is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 1% over the next  five years to reach almost US$3 billion.
 
The country‘s difficult fiscal condition forced its government to cut down the share of budget allocation towards capital expenditure from 20% to 10% in the last four years. Portugal is expected to invest in procuring and modernizing its communication networks, transport aircraft and helicopters.

Foreign defense companies that wish to enter the Portuguese defense industry can do so by making technology transfers to Portuguese defense companies. Foreign defense suppliers can also enter the market by setting up a subsidiary in Portugal and establishing global supply chains. The domestic defense industry is currently facing a challenge as the government is contracting in foreign companies, even when its domestic industry is capable of carrying out work such as maintenance, repair, and overhaul contracts.
