EUROPE’S SECURITY AWAKENING

The defence industry is undergoing its most profound transformation in decades

The European Defence industry stands at a historic turning point. Geopolitical tensions, from the Russian war on Ukraine to shifting US policies and renewed conflicts in the Middle East, have accelerated the demand for stronger security and conventional deterrence. As NATO increases its capability requirements, European nations are under pressure to rearm and modernise their defence infrastructure.

Despite this unprecedented momentum, bureaucracy and slow decision-making continue to delay critical procurement and investment processes, particularly in Germany. Many OEMs and suppliers face ramp-up challenges, even as record-level growth looms on the horizon. The sector is entering its strongest expansion phase in over 30 years, driven primarily by land systems, missile technologies, and advanced capabilities such as C4ISR, unmanned, and autonomous systems. To capture this growth, the industry must overcome structural inefficiencies and build resilient, scalable supply chains ready to deliver.
