Military expenditure is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period to reach US$12.6 billion by 2019.

Air defense capabilities such as fighter aircraft, surface to air missiles, and radars are expected to be an area of focus for the Omani Ministry of Defense (MoD) during the forecast period. The government is also expected to procure patrol vessels and frigates for protecting its oil maritime trade routes and strengthening its maritime borders. Additionally, these procurements will help improve security in the country‘s international borders and the government is expected to speed up procurements in this segment.

An underdeveloped domestic industry in advanced military hardware propels the government to import the required defense equipment from overseas companies, which can gain access to the Omani market either through direct contracts or by attaching themselves to defense deals signed between the country and respective government.
