MARKET OVERVIEW

Market definition Defense spending covers capital items, military personnel, government defense agencies, and related expenditure on

defense and peacekeeping. The defense market is segmented to include expenditure on: personnel; equipment;

infrastructure; and other expenditure (which represents all other spending). Volume is measured as the active serving

personnel in the national army, air force, navy (including marines and coast guard) and other elements of the service,

such as Joint Staff. Any currency conversions used in the creation of this report have been calculated using constant

2012 annual average exchange rates.

For the purposes of this report, the Middle East-Africa (MEA) region comprises Egypt, Israel, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia,

South Africa, and United Arab Emirates.

Market analysis In real terms, Israeli defense spending saw low growth during 2008-2012, although as a percentage of GDP, spending

decreased year-on-year during the same period. Data suggests defense spending will fall into decline until 2014, where

the government has pledged to increase its defense budget for the next four years to record levels in 2018.

Israeli defense spending had a total budget allocation of $14.7bn in 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate

(CAGR) of 2.4% between 2008 and 2012. In comparison, the Nigerian and Egyptian markets grew with CAGRs of 17.4%

and 6.6% respectively, over the same period, to reach respective values of $2.3bn and $4.4bn in 2012.

Personnel numbers declined with a compound annual rate of change (CARC) of -0.1% between 2008 and 2012, to reach

a total of 184,550 personnel in 2012. The number of personnel is expected to rise to 187,926 personnel by the end of

2017, representing a CAGR of 0.4% for the 2012-2017 period.

The equipment segment was the market's most lucrative in 2012, with a total budget allocation of $7.7bn, equivalent to

52.4% of the market's overall value. The personnel segment had a budget allocation of $6.0bn in 2012, equating to

41.0% of the market's aggregate value.

The performance of the market is forecast to decelerate, with an anticipated CAGR of 1.0% for the five -year period 2012

- 2017, which is expected to drive the market to a value of $15.4bn by the end of 2017. Comparatively, the Nigerian and

Egyptian markets will grow with CAGRs of 11.0% and 7.2% respectively, over the same period, to reach respective

values of $3.9bn and $6.2bn in 2017.

FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

The defense spending market will be analyzed taking manufacturers of weapons and defense systems, and national

defense departments as players. The key buyers will be taken as national governments, and raw materials and parts

manufacturers, and individual personnel as the key suppliers.

Summary

Figure 7: Forces driving competition in the defense spending market in Israel, 2012


Main players within the global market for defense products and systems are large companies with well -established

reputations. Such companies are diversified in terms of the products they manufacture and their geographical presence;

however, they often have similar business models to their competitors which can increase rivalry.

The defense spending market is unique in that its principal buyers are also the market players. The main market players,

and the ones this profile focuses on, are manufacturers of weapons and defense systems. However, national defense

departments are also players as they provide the necessary training of military personnel. A nation's government is the

main buyer, purchasing weapons and defense systems from the players, but also providing its defense department with

the funds to pay for recruit's training and wages. Suppliers are more conventional, in that they are the raw material and

parts manufacturers, and the individual personnel who are either enlisted or volunteer for military service.

The only legitimate buyers for military hardware are the governments of sovereign states. This means that the defens e

market in most countries is a monopsony, which immediately gives great power to the buyer. Defense companies make

use of raw materials such as aluminum, titanium and composites, and also components provided by sub -contractors,

relying on high quality materials, thus increasing the power suppliers wield over players. Anyone willing to start a defense

products and systems manufacturing company may find it extremely problematic as generally, in order to compete with

incumbents, new players need large-scale entry and an integrated business model.

There are few substitutes to the purchase of new defense systems and weapons, although one of them is the purchase

of used military equipment, usually reserved for smaller nations or developing countries with limited defense budgets. In

the last few years there has also been an outsourcing of defense operations to private companies, such as Academi and

Aegis, to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.



Buyer power

Figure 8: Drivers of buyer power in the defense spending market in Israel, 2012


The only legitimate buyers for military hardware are the governments of sovereign states. This means that the defense

market in most countries is a monopsony, which, combined with a buyer's large size and significant financial muscle,

immediately gives great power to the buyer. Defense companies can ease the impact of buyer power by selling to

several countries, although this will normally require their own governments to grant export licenses.

In major defense projects, buyers set out their requirements and specifications, which market players must meet. This

means that the products they buy are highly differentiated. Buyer switching costs are also potentially high. These factors

would tend to weaken buyers. However, buyers can backwards integrate (for example a number of countries have state

controlled defense companies, and the US operates governmental departments such as the Defense Advanced

Research Projects Agency also known as DARPA) which strengthens their position.

With defense spending, the situation is more complex than in a typical consumer market. Boeing, for example, reports

that its key defense customer, the US Department of Defense, may terminate a supply contract either ‘for its own

convenience’ or ‘for default’. In the first case, a company would be entitled to payment for work completed to date, plus

cancellation costs. In the second case, where the company was judged not to have met project specifications, it would

receive payment for work accepted, and might find itself liable for some of the cost of re -procurement as well.

No state is likely to cease spending on defense altogether, as a defense force is seen as vital for national security. The

necessity of maintaining a military weakens buyer power. However, governments may also be under pressure to balance

defense with other areas of public spending. Furthermore political decisions to reduce public spending and the decline in

tax revenue, a by-product of the global 'financial crisis', has resulted in many governments reconsidering how much they

spend on particular defense projects, with defense spending often seen as a more politically safe area to implement

spending cuts.

On balance, buyer power is moderate.



Supplier power

Figure 9: Drivers of supplier power in the defense spending market in Israel, 2012


Defense companies make use of raw materials such as aluminum, titanium and composites, and also components

provided by sub-contractors. High quality inputs are very important in this market. There may be no alternative suppliers

for some of them. Even where multiple suppliers are available, it can take up to one year to certify that thei r products are

of a specified quality. This increases switching costs and boosts supplier power.

Depending on their position within the military, individual personnel can be expensive to replace in terms of the money

invested by a country's defense department in their training, as a result these high switching costs increase supplier

power.

However, due to the unique nature of the job role, the chances of individual personnel forward integrating are unlikely,

with the only instances of this occurring are if they hire themselves out as mercenaries or work for private defense

contractors, which serves to weaken the supplier position. Equally it is impossible for market players to backward

integrate in terms of individual personnel, thus boosting supplier power.

Other factors impacting on individual personnel are the small size and high numbers of this type of supplier which

decreases the strength of suppliers. Due to the importance of personnel in the military, and the lack of viable

alternatives, which may change in the future as the development of unmanned drones continues, alongside the

importance of high quality recruits in both a mental and physical capacity, supplier power is increased.

Overall, supplier power is assessed as strong.



New entrants

Figure 10: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the defense spending market in Israel, 2012


Anyone willing to start a defense products and systems manufacturing company may find it extremely problematic. In

order to compete with incumbents, new players generally need large-scale entry and an integrated business model;

however, it is possible to exploit a niche such as a computer software program or a solution to a very particula r

environment. The typical business model also requires large amounts of capital outlay in terms of materials needed,

storage facilities and transportation etc. Expertise and knowledge is crucial to the success of companies as the work is

highly specialized with high levels of intellectual property.

Defense operations are subject to numerous domestic and international laws, regulations and restrictions (including

import-export controls, money-laundering, false accounting, anti-bribery and anti-boycott provisions). Non-compliance

with these laws, regulations and restrictions could expose the company to fines, penalties, suspension or the termination

of contracts. The regulation level varies from country to country. Western markets in particular operate stric t controls

which new entrants must be aware of. These factors all serve to make the defense spending market difficult for new

entrants.

Furthermore, increasing fears about global warming are leading to a focus on reducing emissions with many firms having

to re-design and adjust the way they manufacture products. Successful entry into this market is most likely achieved

through an existing company with similar properties (e.g. engineering) that has diversified into the market. Gaining entry

to a new geographic market can also be difficult and generally requires some kind of physical presence, and is often

facilitated by mergers, acquisitions and partnerships.

Israeli defense spending is forecast to experience marginal growth, making market conditions unfavora ble for potential

new entrants.

Overall the threat of new entrants is weak.



Threat of substitutes

Figure 11: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the defense spending market in Israel, 2012


There are few substitutes to the purchase of new defense systems and weapons, although one of them is the purchase

of used military equipment. This segment of the market is usually solely reserved for smaller nations or developing

countries with limited defense budgets, and as such is of little threat as a substitute. However, in the last few years there

has been an outsourcing of defense operations to private companies, such as Academi and Aegis, to operations in Iraq

and Afghanistan, but the majority of responsibility still lies with sovereign states.

Another development that has picked up pace since the advent of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars has been the use of

drones in place of military personnel. As a substitute to a nation's defense department's training of "traditional"

personnel, it is limited. This is due to the need of human remote operators which ultimately have to be trained by defense

departments, albeit at much lower costs and risks, in addition to the limited use of drones by m any countries. However,

there is evidence to suggest this may change in future as the US Navy announced in July 2013 one of the unmanned

drones it has been developing successfully landed and took off from an aircraft carrier without any human controller or

interaction.

The threat of substitutes is assessed as very weak overall.



Degree of rivalry

Figure 12: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the defense spending market in Israel, 2012


Main players within the market for defense products and systems are large companies with well -established reputations.

Such companies are diversified in terms of the products they manufacture and their geographical presence.

Diversification protects players from any unreliability in their defense business or the possibility of a market exit, and thus

eases rivalry. However this is limited by the fact that market players tend to have similar business models.

There has been a reduction in the number of principal contractors in recent years due to acquisition activities. In some

countries, there is a tendency to nationalize strategic industries to develop capabilities, making it harder for multinational

firms to compete, unless operated in joint ventures or manufactured under license.

On-going consolidation of the global defense industries continues to intensify competition, in the sense that large rivals

are a more significant threat than small ones.

The Israeli defense budget allocation experienced low growth during 2008-2012, increasing rivalry in this market

somewhat.

Overall rivalry in this market is moderate.
