Future of the Vietnamese Defense Industry - Market
Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2018 offers the reader
an insight into the market opportunities and entry strategies adopted by
foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to gain market share in the
Vietnam defense industry.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
With booming economy and maritime trade, Vietnam finds itself in
the middle of an Asian arms race. A looming Chinese threat and the need to
replace obsolete military equipment are expected to drive the country's defense
expenditure over the forecast period. Vietnam's defense budget is valued at
US$3.1 billion in 2013, and is expected to grow at a faster pace over the
forecast period than during the review period. Vietnam's military expenditure
is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.84% over the forecast period to reach US$4.6
billion by 2018, compared to the registered growth rate of 6.26% during the
review period. The Vietnamese government is estimated to increase its
allocation for capital expenditure over the forecast period to an average of
32.5% of total defense expenditure. The country is expected to procure military
equipment to boost its naval strength and maritime security in order to counter
the threat from the growing Chinese naval strength in the South China Sea. In
addition, Vietnam is also expected to procure military equipment such as
aircraft, missiles and armored vehicles as part of its modernization program.
Foreign companies may gain from the Vietnamese government's efforts to open its
defense market and look beyond its traditional arms supplier, Russia.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Strained relationship with China and military modernization are
expected to drive military spending Vietnam is expected to spend US$6.4 billion
on the acquisition of weapons and defense systems during the forecast period.
Factors such as disputed territorial claims in the South China Sea, Chinese
naval build-up, and the acquisition of modern military hardware to replace
outdated and aging equipment are anticipated to drive the country's military
expenditure.

Key Market Issues
·
In
March 2011, the Vietnamese government passed legislation that prohibits selling
stakes of state-owned defense companies to the private sector. The legislation
further stipulates that the state will hold 100% of the charter capital in enterprises
which involve national defense, as well as security and military-held
commercial enterprises. This legislation prevents private participation and
thwarts any foreign direct investment into the country's defense sector.
·
Vietnam
released its third defense whitepaper in 2009 which revealed the country's
defense expenditure for the first time during 2004-2008. This was seen by many
as a step towards building confidence with both its neighbors and countries in
the west, which is in line with its foreign policy of building cordial
relations with other countries. However, the whitepaper does not give any
specifics about the budget break-down or the amount spent on procurement. This
lack of transparency within the government budget allocation and procurement
process may discourage investors from entering the country's defense market.
Key Highlights
·
Strained
relations with China: Supported by the strong economic growth, territorial
disputes in the South China Sea have been fuelling the boost of military
expenditures of countries in ASEAN region. Vietnam shares a border with China
and is a party to disputes over islands in the South China Sea, which China and
other countries such as Taiwan, Philippines, and Japan claim ownership of.
Sino-Vietnamese relations are historically marred by invasions and conflicts
and recently by claims over islands, minerals, and maritime passages in the
South China Sea. China increased their patrol of these disputed waters and
seized fishing and merchant vessels instigating public demonstrations in
Vietnam, which in turn put pressure on the Vietnamese government to lodge its
protest with the Chinese government. The surge in strength of the Chinese
Navy and the exhibition of its aircraft carrier are also expected to drive the
Vietnamese government to increase its military expenditure and allocate more
funds to military modernization programs. The country's naval modernization
program was kick started with the procurement of six kilo class diesel
submarines from Russia. Vietnam is expected on procure frigates, patrol
vessels, and other equipment to strengthen its naval forces.

Human
Trafficking: Vietnam has seen a recent upsurge in human trafficking both into
and out of the country. An increase in the sex trade, including child sex and
forced labor, has fuelled the trafficking of Vietnamese adults and children to
countries such as Cambodia, China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia,
Taiwan, South Korea, the UK, and the Czech Republic. The country has also seen
an illegal inflow of children from neighboring countries for forced labor and
sexual exploitation. The Vietnamese government adopted National Action Plan
2011-2015, which aims to protect people from falling prey to trafficking and
deals with events in Vietnam and across the Vietnamese border in cooperation
with other countries and international organizations. Vietnam has created
awareness-raising projects and provides training to women and girls in
trafficking-prone areas. The country has also passed laws which criminalize
human trafficking and has strengthened the judicial system to prosecute those
convicted. Vietnam has one of the highest conviction rates for traffickers in
the world, as authorities arrested 719 traffickers, prosecuted 453, and
convicted 400 traffickers in 2012.
·
Vietnam's
arms imports began to rise in 2010, mainly due to the need to counter China's
increasing naval capabilities, and the country imported arms equipment worth
US$152 million in 2011. Although imports have seen a significant decrease in
2012, the country imported at higher levels than in the period 2008-2010. Over
the forecast period, arms imports are projected to remain at 2012 levels as the
country focuses on replacing outdated defense systems and strengthening its
Navy and Air Force. Moreover, Vietnam's domestic defense industrial base is
underdeveloped and is unable to meet the requirements of its armed forces,
which is expected to lead to a significant increase in the overall arms
supplies to the country by foreign OEMs during the forecast period.
