Switzerland Defense Market Report Overview

Switzerland’s defense budget is estimated at $8.9 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 5% from 2024 to 2028. This is due to several recent modernization efforts within the Swiss military, such as the Air2030 program and the expansion of its cyber defense units. Indeed, the purchase and integration of new capabilities will drive up expenditure on acquisitions, operations and maintenance, and other ancillary costs over the forecast period as the Swiss military modifies infrastructure and trains additional personnel to facilitate the deployment of those capabilities.

Switzerland Defense Market Drivers

The rising popularity of domestic modernization programs is one of the key factors driving the defense market in Switzerland. The Air2030 program has become the largest defense acquisitions program in Swiss history, whilst other programs have sought to acquire new armored vehicles, modernize artillery systems, and reduce the armed forces’ environmental impact through greater reliance on renewable energy sources.

Furthermore, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent deterioration of wider European security has driven Swiss military and government officials to seek increased defense expenditure and military rapprochement with international allies, as the decision to impose economic sanctions on Russian assets has resulted in a heightened sense of unease throughout the country.

Switzerland Military Doctrines and Defense Strategies

In accordance with the 2017 Military Doctrine, Switzerland considers remote direct military threats, including additional potential threats, such as espionage, cyber-attacks, external influence operations, and sabotage, as well as the actions of non-state groups. A substantial part of Swiss military doctrine is the active participation of Swiss troops in humanitarian and international peacekeeping missions. Swiss nationals are currently involved in peacekeeping missions globally.

Though Switzerland is not a full-fledged member of the NATO alliance, it has been a signatory to the international PfP agreement since 1996, alongside NATO members and other partner states, as the primary objective of that agreement was the enhancement of trust and transparency on security and defense policy matters, as well as promoting dialogue amongst Euro-Atlantic states to ensure peace in the region. Since its accession to the United Nations in 2002, Switzerland’s policy of military neutrality and the promotion of international peace has allowed it to play the key role of mediator in many international disputes. Furthermore, Switzerland hosts the United Nations Office of Geneva (UNOG), one of the four major UN offices worldwide, which hosts various UN agencies, such as the World Health Organization, World Trade Organization, and the Human Rights Council.

Switzerland Defense Market Segmentation by Sectors

The key sectors in the Switzerland defense market are military fixed-wing, tactical communications systems, missiles and missile defense systems, artillery systems, EO/IR Systems, and military land vehicles among others. Military fixed-wing aircraft is the largest sector within the Switzerland defense market in 2023. This sector is comprised entirely of the combat aircraft segment, as the Swiss Armed Forces are only procuring Lockheed Martin’s F-35A fighter variant under the Air2030 program, which was designed to ensure air supremacy and will replace their aging F/A-18 combat aircraft. The sector is likely to grow slightly and reach a peak by 2033.

“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.”

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.
