What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The Netherlands is one of the top 20 defense markets across the
world, with a defense budget allocation of US$10.1 billion in 2013. Primarily
driven by military modernization programs, and coast guard and internal
security the country's defense expenditure is expected to register a CAGR of -0.31%
during the period 2014-18. This decrease in spending is expected to be
primarily due to the European debt crisis, which will force the Netherlands to
cut its defense budget over the forecast period. The country's defense imports
and exports recovered in 2012 and are expected to grow over the forecast
period, as the country is expected focus on acquiring equipment for maritime
security, C2/C4ISR, and homeland security infrastructure.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Defense expenditure in the Netherlands is primarily driven by
military modernization, joint operations with the police force for the internal
security of the country. Military Modernization: Participation of the country's
armed forces in peacekeeping initiatives affected the functionality of its
defense equipment, especially the condition of the equipment deployed in
Afghanistan, such as F-16s, armored vehicles, and helicopters. This has
necessitated the need for upgrade or replacement. The MOD has already outlined
plans to upgrade its helicopter and armored vehicles fleets, and F-16 fighter
aircraft. The maritime forces are also being equipped with minesweeping
capabilities, while frigates are being upgraded with radar systems.

Key Market Issues
The Netherlands' government has been criticized for giving
inadequate support to its domestic defense industry over the review period,
especially during times of economic crisis. Instead, the government reduced its
defense budget, forcing the industry to rely on export orders for revenue. In
addition, the government does not offer financial resources such as working
capital funds to the industry in order to cater to export orders, which has
forced many domestic firms to close.
Key Highlights
·
Coast
guard and Internal security: The country's armed forces, especially the Navy,
participate in joint operations with the US for counter narcotics efforts and
also with its internal security forces to ensure internal stability. The
Netherlands committed its military to support a US Forward Operating Location
(FOL) at the Curaçao Hato International Airport. In addition, the Netherlands'
armed forces assist the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard (DCCG) and the Dutch
Caribbean islands such as Aruba, Curaçao, Dutch St. Maarten, and BES islands
(Bonaire, St. Eustatius, and Saba) as these islands continue to be major transshipment
points for cocaine and heroin originating from Venezuela and Colombia. The
Dutch Navy regularly operates in the region to secure its maritime borders and
also supports counternarcotics efforts of the Joint Inter Agency Task Force
(JIATF) South.

Human
and drug trafficking: Instances of human and hard drug trafficking have
increased in the Netherlands recently. The country's Ministry of Justice
follows a tolerance policy for the category soft drugs such as cannabis
products and enforces a ban on hard drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and LSD.
Although the government places high priority over fighting illegal hard drug
trafficking, the location of the Netherlands makes it an important point of
transit for international drug trafficking, and this is expected to drive
homeland security expenditure. The Netherlands' police force conducts joint
operations and patrol with its Army and Navy to counter human and drug
trafficking along its maritime borders. These operations are expected to
increase over the forecast period, which in turn will drive the country's
homeland security budget.
·
Arms
imports in the Netherlands recovered in 2012, following a sharp decline in 2010
and 2011, and are expected to see slight growth over the period 2013-2018 as
deliveries of F-35 are expected to begin in this period. The decline is
primarily due to a decline in imports of missiles and artillery mostly from the
US from 2010 onwards. Imports of ships from Romania and aircraft from the US
dominated the country's defense imports in 2012.
