Introduction and Landscape
Why was the report written?
The Future of the Canadian 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 Canadian defense industry.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The Canadian defense budget, which is
projected to be US$18.8 billion in 2014, is expected to dip at a CAGR of
1.17% during the forecast period and reach US$17.9 billion by 2018.
Defense expenditure that amounted to 1% of GDP in 2013 is expected to
fall to 0.8% by 2018 due to budget cuts. The downward slope is primarily
due to the government's steps to curb its expenditure through
restructuring of operations, efficiency enhancements, and erasing
redundancy. Another contributing factor is the end of the Afghanistan
war and withdrawal of troops from the region in 2014.
The capital
expenditure budget, which stood at an average of 17.3% in the review
period, is expected to increase to 21.5% in the forecast period, due to
the government's modernization plans. The HLS budget was US$348.0
million in 2009 and moved up to US$379.0 million in 2013, driven by
increasing threats to cyber security, terrorist activity, and increased
border security to combat illegal immigration. In the coming years,
demand for equipment is mainly expected to revolve around fighters and
multi-role aircrafts, armored personnel vehicles, corvettes, frigates,
and UAVs.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Canada's defense expenditure primarily
stands on the nation's military modernization goals set in 2008,
targeted at the re-designing of the Canadian Army. Furthermore, the
tussle with Russia over the sovereignty of the Arctic region also
compels Canada to incur expenditure on its forces to protect its
territory.

Key Market Issues
- Canadian IRBs, which define defense
offsets, provide a timescale for the submission of offset plans. These
timescales are generally short and, therefore, challenge defense
companies to identify offsets and submit proposals. The offset policy
also defines penalties for not submitting offset plans in time and the
bidder is rejected if 30% of the offset proposal is not submitted with
the bid. Of the remaining 70%, 30% of the offset obligation must be
identified within one year from the date of awarding the contract, and
the remaining 40% has to be identified within three years. If these
timelines are not adhered to, foreign companies may face a penalty of
additional IRB obligations equal to 50% of the unfulfilled amount.
- ITAR is a set of regulations defined by
the US government to control the trade of defense-related technology.
Under the regulations, Canadian companies are allowed to offer Canadian
citizens access to sensitive technology under certain circumstances.
However, an employee of a Canadian defense company that is a national of
a restricted country cannot access the information, which leads to
non-compliance with Canadian human rights as it constitutes
discrimination based on an employee's nationality or place of origin.
The US authorities have proposed an amendment to the existing regulation
in August 2010.
Key Highlights
- Canada's defense expenditure is driven
by the demand for military equipment refurbishment. The government felt
the need to equip the armed forces with advanced and better technology
and, subsequently, in 2008, released the CFDS that outlines the
restructuring of Canadian military bases. The CFDS has assigned 12% of
its total budget for upgrades over a twenty-year period spanning across
2008 to 2027. The DND also remains committed to roll-out the National
Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy that aims to elevate the country's
naval fleet, which was neglected in the budget revision of 2005-2006.
This would primarily involve the purchase of supply ships, frigates, and
off-shore patrol vessels for the Arctic region. The air and land forces
will also receive a facelift via new and more technologically superior
fighter aircraft and armored vehicles coming in place of the ones lost
or depleted during the operation in Afghanistan.
- One of the biggest threats that
Canada's vital infrastructure, including government data base,
utilities, and communication and transportation systems, are facing is
that of cyber attacks. These sectors, which were once physically
protected, are now interconnected through cyber networks. However,
Canada suffers from the absence of tough defense against cyber criminals
and hackers from China and Russia. In 2011, the entire Treasury Board
Secretariat had to be kept off-line for months as government computer
infrastructure was badly attacked by dangerous malware. To fight against
cyber intrusion, the federal authority has introduced Canada's Cyber
Security Strategy that lists the government's measures to secure the
cyberspace for all Canadians. Under this plan, the government started
the Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre (CCIRC) which functions
collectively with national and international partners in determining,
preventing, and negating cyber-attacks.
