Report Highlight:

The Netherlands is the fifth largest economy in the Euro-zone, and has been battling to overcome the effects of the debt crisis, with the aid of defense budget cuts in the last four years. In this time, the Netherlands defense expenditure decreased at a CAGR of almost -2%.

The Netherlands defense industry is expected to grow at a slow CAGR of less than 1% over the next five years. The country‘s military expenditure will be driven by its military modernization programs and the mandate to spend a minimum of 2% of its GDP on defense as required by the NATO.

Historic data shows that the DMO, which is largely responsible for procurement, maintenance, disposal, logistics research and development, and defense infrastructure facilities, accounted for the highest budget allocation during the last four years, with an average share of 26%.

Foreign companies can enter the Netherlands defense market by establishing joint ventures or partnerships with the domestic defense industry, for the manufacture of components and assembly of equipment. Foreign companies can also acquire domestic companies or establish subsidiaries in the country, as the FDI policy allows 100% investment.
