According to a report from Deloitte, defense sub-sector revenues are likely to grow at a much faster 3.2 percent in 2017 as defense spending in the US has returned to growth after multi-year declines in defense budgets and future growth may be driven by the new US administration’s increased focus on strengthening the US military.

Rising global tensions have led to increasing demand for defense and military products in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, North Korea and the East and South China Seas. This in turn is resulting in increased defense spending globally, especially in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Japan, India, China and Russia.
