Future of the Malaysian Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2024
Summary
Malaysia, as per its 11th growth plan (2016-2020), has plans to focus on providing people with wellbeing and a sense of security. Malaysia’s defense budget for 2019 is US$3.4 billion, which decreased from US$4.6 billion in 2015 at a CAGR of -6.79% during the historic period. One of the major causes of this falling defense budget has been the lower percentage allocation of GDP towards the defense sector. Malaysia has also postponed some of its new procurement programs and is increasingly favoring the modernization of its current equipment to cut costs. The Malaysian government is attempting to implement substantial financial changes in an endeavor to bring balance to the economy.
Malaysian defense expenditure is expected to register a CAGR of 1.61% over the forecast period and reach a value of US$3.7 billion in 2024. The military’s modernization projects, the nation's investment in UN peacekeeping missions, and regional debates with neighboring nations, for example, Brunei over Limbang, Louisa, and Mariveles, Indonesia over Ambalat, the Philippines over Ardasier and Erica, and Thailand over Ko Kra and Ko Losin, were the major drivers deciding Malaysian defense expenditure during the historic period. With this trend expected to continue over the forecast period, the country is projected to cumulatively spend US$18 billion over 2020-2024.
Due to the completion of some contracts in 2018-2019, procurements are expected to be lower in the short term. However, procurement levels will increase soon and this is expected to continue over the forecast period. For example, the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) has awarded a contract to the South Korean shipyard, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME), to build six missile surface corvettes which will be built and assembled in South Korea from 2018 onwards. Furthermore, as part of the 14th and 15th Malaysia Plan, the government plans to acquire two submarines by 2040 in accordance with the government’s "15 to 5" Transformation Plan, despite the fact that the course of events might be overhauled.
Malaysia’s homeland security (HLS) budget stands at US$2.8 billion in 2019, and is expected to reach US$3 billion in 2024 with a growth rate of 1.73% over 2020-2024. This expenditure is primarily driven by the need to curb drug smuggling, illegal immigration, and increasing criminal activities. The capital expenditure allocation, which stood at an average of 21.9% during the historic period, is expected to increase to reach an average of 22.9% over the forecast period.
The report "Future of the Malaysian Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2024", provides readers with detailed analysis of both historic and forecast defense industry values, factors influencing demand, the challenges faced by industry participants, analysis of industry leading companies and key news.
