Further, the return of Trump to White House and looming uncertainty over policy direction and America’s continued military support under him for NATO and other regional allies located across Europe and the Asia-Pacific regions is likely to drive a further surge in defense spending globally, which has already touched record levels, going forward and has been leading to a surge in order intakes and backlog across industry OEMs. The same has witnessed massive efforts being undertaken to revitalize defense industrial bases across most regions globally to ramp-up production rates for core systems, like artillery, armor and missiles, and for rapid upgrade, modernization and recapitalization of in-service Cold War-era legacy defense systems, with the initiation of FCAS, GCAP, FVL and MGCS programs, being prime examples. China’s mass deployment of almost 800 5th generation J-20 jets so far and the active development of J-36 & J-XX/J-50 6th generation fighter jet platforms and the H-20 long-range bomber present the most formidable challenge to the traditional & virtually absolute American aerial dominance & overmatch in the 21st century. American response, in form of the NGAD program featuring adaptive cycle engines, seemingly, is just around the corner.
The taming of inflation, monetary policy easing and the relative easing of supply chain woes globally have come as welcome news for the world economy in 2025 while continuing military conflicts across Ukraine & the Middle East, looming specter of upcoming trade wars under Trump Administration and rising debt levels along with the need to sustain substantial defense spending levels amid slowing economic growth pose a serious challenge to it over near term. Overall, the world economic growth is projected to remain at the 3.2% level for 2025 which is almost 400 bps below the average GDP growth rate for the average pre-pandemic growth rate registered through the 2010s decade.
