SUMMARY
Why was the report written?
The Egyptian defense Industry Market Opportunities and Entry Strategies, Analyses and Forecasts to 2017 offers the reader aninsight into the market opportunities and entry strategies adopted by foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to gain market share in the Egyptian defense industry.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
Egypt is a major non-NATO ally of the US and, for the past three decades, has been receiving Foreign Military Financing from the US amounting to US$1.3 billion per year. This FMF makes up 80 percent of the country’s defense capital expenditure and comes with a clause which requires the country to spend the entire amount on purchasing military equipment from American contractors. Egypt has used this financing to replace the majority of its aging Soviet and Chinese equipment with American military hardware and, as a result, the vast majority of the Egyptian arsenal is produced by US contractors and Egypt is highly dependent on American financing and support. The preponderance of American military hardware also means that Egypt is reliant on contracts with US companies for the maintenance of its armed forces equipment.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Although Egypt is not under any real threat of aggression from its neighbors, the perceived threat from Israel and the increasing political instability in the country are a cause of concern for the military and these factors are expected to drive and determine the country’s defense expenditure in the forecast period. In 1979, the US brokered a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. Under the terms of the agreement the US provides FMF to both countries, with US$3 billion per year to Israel and US$1.3 billion per year to Egypt, and this is one of the main influences on the Egyptian defense budget.

REASON TO BUY
Egypt does not follow open market and fair competition principles regarding defense deals; instead preferring to conduct private government to government or military to military talks regarding defense procurements and making it difficult for foreign firms to compete. Additionally, the country does not follow a structured defense budgeting mechanism, which often results in improper budget allocations and a high level of corruption in the armed forces. A number of foreign OEMs find the lack of transparency in Egypt’s defense deals, and delays in finalization, key challenges to the successful execution of defense deals in the country.
Egypt is currently undergoing its greatest political change in half a century; and the mass civil protest that started in January 2011, has led to the fall of the country’s authoritarian regime and the promise of democratic presidential elections in November 2011. As a result of this period of dramatic change, the country is currently characterized by political instability. This uncertainty has discouraged foreign defense companies from continuing to participate in Egypt’s defense sector and deterred new participants from establishing operations in the country.
US FMF accounts for almost 80% of the country’s defense capital expenditure, and according to the contract, the whole amount is spent on military procurement from the US contractors, resulting large quantity of US equipment in Egypt’s arsenal. The two countries enjoy a close relationship that is set to continue in the forecast period due to Egypt’s dependence on the US companies for the maintenance and life support of its equipment and weapons. This relationship poses a greater roadblock for other foreign companies to enter the Egyptian defense market.
