The Netherlands Defence Sector - Market Opportunities and Entry Strategies, Analyses and Forecasts to 2015

Netherlands defence budget is expected to reach US$10.9 billion by 2015.

The defence expenditure of the Netherlands recorded a CAGR of 5.33% during the review period and stood at US$12.2 billion in 2009. During the forecast period, the high fiscal debt of the country, along with the financial constraints of the Ministry of Defence (MOD), is expected to cause the defence budget to decline at a CARC of -0.63%, from US$11.3 billion in 2010 to US$10.9 billion in 2015. The defence budget is primarily driven by peacekeeping operations, assistance for the internal defence forces of the country, and the modernization of the armed forces. The defence budget as a percentage of GDP is expected to decline from an average of 1.5% during review period to 1.3% in 2015.

Furthermore, the budget allocation for capital expenditure is expected to decline to an average of 26% during the forecast period, against an average of 29% in the review period. The capital expenditure on the army, which had the highest allocation of 36% during the review period, is expected to fall to an average of 25% in the forecast period. Moreover, the air force is expected to receive the largest allocation of an average of 33% of the total capital expenditure during the forecast period. The budget allocation for the army and navy, which averaged at 17% and 8% respectively in the review period, is expected to fall marginally to reach 16% and 7% respectively. The allocation for peacekeeping operations, which stood at an average of 4% during the review period, is expected to decline to 2% of the defence budget by 2015, due to government plans to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
