The German Defense Industry: Market Opportunities and Entry Strategies, Analyses and Forecasts to 2017 With few internal or external threats, German Defense policy is largely aligned towards the prevention and containment of crises and conflicts. Despite this, the country’s Defense expenditure, which valued US$41.4 billion in 2012, allocates as much as US$5.4 billion on the procurement of military hardware. Furthermore, the country has a mature domestic sector, capable of fulfilling both local and export requirements. Nevertheless, Germany’s participation in peacekeeping activities and in the development of advanced military transport aircraft is expected to support the growth of its Defense industry over the forecast period (2012-2017). Globally, Germany is the third-largest exporter of arms, exporting to 58 countries and, with a total value of US$11.79 billion, accounting for 9.2% of the total global arms transfers during 2007–2011. Germany is a leading exporter of ships, which accounted for 37% of German arms exports during the review period (2007-2011). Globally, Greece is the largest recipient of German Defense exports.

Germany is the pioneer of a newly-established EU protection force and has, accordingly, placed multinational preventive security measures at the center of its Defense policy. With the exception of evacuation and rescue missions, German Defense forces will only engage in armed operations with allies or UN, NATO, or EU partners. Consequently, future spending will be allocated largely for the provision of military core capabilities.
