World military expenditure increased for the ninth consecutive year in 2023, reaching a total of 2,443 billion USD. The 6.8 per cent increase in 2023 was the steepest year-on-year rise since 2009 and pushed global spending to the highest level ever recorded. Total military expenditure accounted for 2.3 per cent of global gross domestic product in 2023. World military spending per person was the highest since 1990, at 306 USD. The rise in global military spending can be attributed primarily to the ongoing war in Ukraine as well as escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Asia, while military expenditure went up in all five geographical regions. And this tendency will remain.Romania has steadily increased its defense budget, exceeding the 2% NATO threshold for the eighth consecutive year. In 2024, the defense budget was approximately €8.6 billion or 2.3% of GDP, much higher than in 2023. The defense budget structure reflects a growing interest in robust investments in military capabilities.

The new Romanian Defense Industry Strategy 2024–2030 is widely seen as a major advance for the modernization and strengthening of the sector, but there are also several challenges and areas for improvement such as fiscal constraints, workforce development, sustainability and ethical standards.One of the primary challenges faced by the Romanian defense industry is its current status. The industry has been hindered by political inertia and internal divisions, which have limited its growth and modernization. The government anticipates that the industry will expand, creating more opportunities for collaboration with Western companies through joint ventures or supply chain partnerships.The expansion of the Romanian defense market has been hampered by budgetary constraints. While defense spending is increasing, there are challenges related to budget allocation and resource management. Ensuring that funds are efficiently used across various programs can be challenging. There are various challenges in terms of human resources, due to an aging population and migration, and it is hard to find specialists for certain operations. In a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, collaboration among members of traditional and emerging alliances will be crucial in addressing growing threats. Key areas of focus include interconnected systems, innovation, and the necessary infrastructure investment for deploying military capabilities. We believe there is a balance to be struck between investing in conventional versus new capabilities. As a result, companies must navigate a dynamic security environment and be prepared to adapt swiftly to rapid changes.
