Ukraine Conflict Impact: Strategic Intelligence

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The "Ukraine Conflict Impact (2026)" report is part of GlobalData's Strategic Intelligence series of reports on cybersecurity and its impacts across different industries. Understanding the impact of the Ukraine conflict is essential in the defense industry in order to be prepared for high intensity warfare. As a result of the conflict, companies, nations, and militaries are increasingly adopting a collaborative approach, including joint procurement initiatives .

This report explores emergent trends as a result of the Ukraine conflict, examining use cases and the implementation of technologies such as artillery and Active Protection Systems, and what challenges must be considered in pursuing effective strategies for brand building in this market.

Following the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, both the development of innovative defense capabilities, such as FPV drones or hypersonic weapons, and the reinvigoration of previously stagnant market segments, such as artillery, small arms, and combat vehicles, have dramatically restructured strategic priorities within the global defense sector. Both national governments and commercial entities are continuously re-evaluating the broader challenges in terms of production capacity and scalability in both the defense industry and parallel commercial ecosystems, seeking to strengthen their supply chains in the face of mounting vulnerabilities. As the geostrategic implications of this conflict continue to reverberate across global markets, opportunities abound for both established primes and specialist startups whose product portfolios reflect the demands of high intensity warfare (HIW) in the mid-21st century.The primary lesson drawn from the Ukraine conflict has been the need to upscale production capacity and leverage cost-efficiency across all domains of modern warfare, with investments driving innovation of both technology and operations throughout the conventional (land, air, maritime) and unconventional (space, cyberspace, EMS) domains of modern warfare. The pressure this has generated on supply chains has highlighted opportunities for greater integration of dual-use technologies from parallel commercial or consumer markets, generating both additional macroeconomic opportunity and risk as the imperatives of high intensity warfare place industries in defense and beyond within the threat matrix.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
