Defense Market Outlook: Europe

As a result of the growing threat from Russia, uncertainty surrounding the future of the war in Ukraine, and ambiguity from its long term defense guarantor across the Atlantic, European capitals have made decisive moves to bolster their military capabilities. European investment in defense equipment has more than doubled in real terms since 2021 to over $170 billion a year with more growth on the way following the agreement of new defence spending targets at NATOs June summit. The key problem for the continent is no longer the level of defense spending but how industry can meet surging demand.

Join Aviation Week Intelligence Network (AWIN) analysts as they discuss the potential for further market growth, regional procurement trends, and opportunities in the European market.
