Key Market Issues
Israeli defense industry highly dependent on the US
As 75% of the US$30 billion of military aid Israel is scheduled to receive from the US between 2010 and 2019 must be spent on the procurement of military hardware from the US, the Israeli defense market is less accessible to defense suppliers from other nations. As a consequence of Israel’s increasing dependence on US military aid for its defense purchases, this is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, Israel’s economic and political dependence on the US means that the US has influence on Israel’s military transactions with countries such as China and India.

Monopolistic competition
The Israeli defense industry is becoming increasingly reliant on defense exports as a source of revenue, which has led to increased competition between domestic firms. Moreover, internal competition is also on the rise because a large number of domestic firms are involved in the manufacture of similar equipment categories. Although the Israeli government has tried to form bidder teams, which form agreements not to compete with each other, or to compete in a manner that benefits all parties, many companies are unwilling to work together. For example, the recent attempt by Israeli training and simulation firm BVR Systems to cooperate with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) failed because the companies could not agree on cost sharing, development approaches and marketing initiatives, resulting in a costly litigation for BVR Systems.

Key Highlights
Israel expected to spend US$72.32 billion during the forecast period
In 2012, the Israeli defense market valued US$13.28 billion, which represented the third largest military expenditure in the Middle East. During the review period, the Israeli defense expenditure declined at a CAGR of -0.59% and is expected to record growth at a CAGR of 2.97% during the forecast period. This growth can be partially attributed to the US$20.1 billion of military aid from the US scheduled between 2013 and 2017. Moreover, the continued security threats from Iran, Syria, and other neighboring Arab countries is forecast to result in Israel spending US$72.32 billion on defense during the forecast period.

Protection against terrorism expected to drive the Israeli homeland security market
The Israeli homeland security market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.4%, from US$4.94 billion in 2012 to US$5.28 billion in 2017. This is a result of the threat of terrorist attacks from Palestinian terrorist organizations and growing crime rates in the country. Consequently, the demand for surveillance equipment, radars, and sensors is anticipated to increase during the forecast period. In addition to domestic distribution, Israeli defense firms also export homeland security equipment to countries in Central Europe, the Far East and Asia, Latin America, South Africa, Western Europe, and the US.

Israel imported US$76 million of defense goods in 2011
During 2007–2011, Israel spent US$1.8 billion on defense imports, despite registering a decline in 2009 due to the global economic crisis. Furthermore, the nation spent US$76 million of its 2011 budget on defense imports. This is in addition to the US$2.8 billion Israel will receive in military aid from the US in the same year, 75% of which must be used to purchase military hardware directly from the US.
