Defense Report: The Swedish Defense Industry

Key Highlights

The part of Swedish defense budget allocated for capital expenditure, was decreased in 2010, due to a reduction in the acquisition of defense equipment. Sweden plans to reduce the number of military personnel and troops over the forecast period which will in turn reduce the country’s revenue expenditure and, as a result; however, capital expenditure is expected to increase in the forecast period.

Due to its strained external relationship with Russia, internal security threats and the deployment of troops in overseas peacekeeping missions, Sweden is expected to focus on the procurement of land defense systems, advanced defense communication systems and sophisticated air defense systems. Moreover, the country’s homeland security expenditure is expected to increase during the forecast period, primarily due to a rise in organized crime and the threat from global terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda.
