SIPRI published "Top 100" weapon manufacturers in 2013

17
2014 year is coming to an end, but only now experts of the Stockholm Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) have completed an analysis of data on the international market for weapons and military equipment in 2013, resulting in the 100 rating of the largest manufacturers of weapons and military equipment. Last year there were no events that could have a major impact on the market. The main trends are preserved, and the list of 100 of the largest manufacturers for 2013 a year has no fundamental differences from the rating for 2012.

Market condition and observed trends

Swedish analysts say that for the third year in a row there was a slight decrease in total sales. At the same time, the market contraction rate has noticeably decreased. If in 2012, the decrease was 3,9% compared to 2011, in 2013, this figure decreased to 2%. A total of 100, the largest manufacturers of weapons and equipment last year, sold products to 402 billion US dollars. Unfortunately, SIPRI experts in their studies do not take into account the indicators of the defense industry of China, since this country does not share the relevant information.

An interesting picture is observed when considering changes in sales of companies from different regions. Thus, sales of American and Canadian military products are gradually declining. Russian organizations show stable growth. Western Europe shows 20-percent growth due to the success of France and the UK, while sales of other countries either remain at the same level or fall. It is noteworthy that in the 2013 year, the tendency that has been constantly observed since the 2005 year has found its continuation. The total market share of enterprises operating outside of Western Europe and North America is constantly growing. Last year, it reached 15,5%.

In the official press release SIPRI focuses on the success of Russian companies. Indeed, some domestic organizations have shown a large increase in sales. So, in 2013, the Tactical Missiles Corporation increased sales by 118% compared to 2012. The second place in terms of the growth rate of the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern, whose sales increased by 34% over the year. Three leaders closes the United Aircraft Corporation with 20% growth.

The reason for this increase in production and sales of Swedish analysts believe the increase in defense spending, conducted by the leadership of Russia over the past few years. These costs lead to the modernization of enterprises and the emergence of new products that can compete with foreign models.

Since 2011, US military sales have been steadily declining. The reasons for this lie in the new legislation, which implies a reduction in the military budget, as well as in the implementation of the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and the planned withdrawal from Afghanistan. Because of this, the total sales of American companies in the "Top-100" global manufacturers weapons, in 2013, it fell by 4,5%. In addition, current processes have led to a curious change in the list of world leaders. So, in 2012, 42 was present in the ranking by American companies, and in 2013, only 38 was present.

Analyzing the state of the armament and equipment market last year, SIPRI experts came to the conclusion that it was necessary to create a new category of countries - Global South. Last year, a number of companies from the countries of the Southern Hemisphere and some other regions: Brazil, India, Singapore, etc., ranked among the largest manufacturers. In this regard, Swedish analysts are introducing a new category and hope that such an innovation will allow better follow the development of new players in the market.

So far, Global South companies provide only 3,6% of all sales of Top 100 organizations in total, but some of them already show quite remarkable growth. For example, the South Korean company Aerospace Industries for the year increased sales by 31%. Other companies from Global South are confidently continuing their way up the rating. Among other things, this trend to some extent demonstrates the existing decline in the shares of North America and Western Europe.

An interesting fact is that with the existing sales cuts and the entire market, the top ten rankings in 2013 almost did not change compared to 2012. Owners of the first ten places have such a large gap between each other and from other companies that the observed reduction in sales has almost no effect on the final table.

Top Ten Suppliers

The first place in the 2013 rating of the year is taken by the American company Lockheed Martin, which for a year sold products worth 35,49 billion dollars. This is about 500 million less than in the 2012 year, but the company retains leadership, having a significant advantage over the closest "pursuers". Total sales, both military and civilian products amounted to 45,5 billion. Military products provided 78% of all revenues.



On the second line, as in the previous year, is the American company Boeing. During the year, she supplied weapons and equipment to 30,7 billion dollars, improving the previous result by 100 million. It is curious that Boeing’s total revenue amounted to 86,62 billion dollars last year, of which only 35% comes from defense production.



The third place is again occupied by the British concern BAE Systems with an income of 26,82 billion dollars. Compared to 2012 year, the group's revenue grew by 5 billion. Weapon systems and military equipment make up 94% of the sales of the group, which in total earned about 28,4 billion dollars.



Fourth place left behind the American company Raytheon, earned on military supplies 21,95 billion. Sales of this company are falling; in 2012, they amounted to 22,5 billion dollars. Raytheon's defense production provided 93% of the income from 23,7 billions earned in a year.



On the fifth place, having risen to one line, in 2013, the American company Northrop Grumman with military sales volume of 20,2 billion dollars hit. Over the year, such revenue grew by 800 million. The total revenue of Northrop-Grumman last year amounted to 24,66 billion, of which 82% is for weapons and military equipment.



Americans from General Dynamics dropped to sixth place, earning only 2013 a billion dollars in 18,66 a year against 20,94 billion received a year earlier. At the same time, military products provide the company 60% of revenue, the total income for the last year - 31,22 billion dollars.



In seventh place again the European concern EADS. In 2013, its military sales rose to 15,74 billion dollars, which is 340 million more than 2012's sales. The total earnings of the EADS concern reached 78,7 billion last year, with only 20% of revenue accounted for military products.



The eighth place is occupied by the American company United Technologies (UTC), which has risen by one line over the year. Its income from sales of weapons and equipment amounted to 11,9 billion dollars. It is noteworthy that the income of UTC declined by 220 million in comparison with 2012 year, but the company still managed to rise by one place in the ranking. Defense orders account for 19% of UTC sales. Total revenue over the past year - 62,62 billion dollars.



The Italian company Finmeccanica, which was previously in eighth position, fell to ninth place. Last year, she earned 10,56 billion on military orders. For comparison, the income for 2012 year reached 12,53 billion dollars. Military contracts gave the company about half of total revenue in 21,29 billion.



The ten largest manufacturers of weapons and equipment of the last year are closed by the French company Thales, which has risen by one line. In 2012, she earned billions of dollars in 8,88 military products, and in 2013 she increased this figure to 10,37 billion. This is 55% of the company's total revenue of 18,85 billion.



Russian companies

According to estimates by SIPRI specialists, the most successful Russian arms dealer in 2013 was the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern. Over the year, this organization increased its revenues from military production by 34%, from 5,81 to 8,03 billion dollars. This allowed the concern to rise from the 14 location (2012 year) to 12. In total, last year Almaz-Antey earned 8,54 billion. 94% of revenue comes from military products.



On 15, the United Aircraft Building Corporation climbed up from 18, which sold military aircraft and helicopters worth 5,53 billion dollars in a year. A year earlier, this figure was 4,44 billion. Military orders accounted for 80% of the revenues of the Corporation, which earned a total of 6,93 billion.



17 line, rising from 19, was taken by the Russian United Shipbuilding Corporation with an annual revenue of 5,12 billion dollars. In 2012, the Corporation fulfilled military orders with a total value of 4,15 billion. As in the case of KLA, the share of military orders amounted to 80% of the total revenues of USC in the amount of 6,37 billion dollars.



25 was won by the Russian Helicopters corporation, which rose one line up. Last year, the organization earned 3,5 billion dollars, which is 20 million less than in 2012. On military orders, the corporation earned 80% of all revenues. A total of "Russian Helicopters" in 2013-m earned 4,34 billion.



Immediately by six positions, to the 36 seat, the United Engine Corporation has risen with an income of 2,72 billion dollars. Compared to 2012, the year growth was 260 million. The total revenue of the Corporation last year amounted to 4,99 billion, and military orders provided only 55% of this amount.



It should be noted that some organizations are present in the pivot table, but do not have their place. The compilers of “Top-100” from SIPRI use this approach in relation to companies that have their own production, but are structural divisions of other organizations. So, the company "Sukhoi" with an income of 2,18 billion dollars could take place 48. In 2012, the income of this organization was more on 130 millions. Military aircraft provide 78% revenue. Total revenue - 2,81 billion dollars.

On the 53 line of the list is the Concern "Radio-Electronic Technologies" (KRET), which earned 2013 billion dollars in military orders in 1,85 year. In 2012, this figure was 1,38 billion, with which KRET took the place of 60. The group's total revenue for the year is 2,47 billion, the share of defense orders is 76%.

Irkut Corporation, which could take 61-place due to revenues of 1,32 billion, is out of the rating. Over the year, the volume of military orders increased by 230 million. Most of the corporate revenue, 73%, comes from the construction of combat aircraft. In total, in 2013, Irkut earned 1,81 billion.

Also out of the rating (at the level of 67 place) is the engine-building company UMPO, which is part of the United Aircraft Building Corporation, with an income of 1,1 billion dollars. A year earlier, the company sold products on 760 million. 93% revenue last year secured with military orders. Total revenue in the 2013 year is 1,18 billion.

72-place could remain behind the shipyard "Sevmash" related to USC. Last year, the plant earned 1,03 billion dollars, which is 140 million less than income in 2012. Ministry of Defense orders give Sevmash three-quarters of total revenue in 1,37 billion.

From 96 to 78, the place has risen to the Radiotechnical Institute. Academician A.L. Mintsa (RTI), which earned 850 million dollars last year, which is 150 million more than 2012. Last year’s total RTI income was 1005 million, 95% of that money came from military orders.

On the 24 position, to the 86 location, Uralvagonzavod Corporation dropped. According to SIPRI experts (there are no exact data on “UVZ”), the corporation income in 2013 amounted to 870 millions. In 2012, the company earned 1,22 billion. Last year's total income of Uralvagonzavod amounted to 2,9 billion dollars. Military products provide only 30% of this money.

The constellation concern has entered Top-100, having risen from 109 to 89. Exact data on the work of this enterprise is not available, but according to estimates by Swedish experts, income in 2013 reached 860 million dollars and exceeded income of 210 by 2012 million. Three-quarters of sales of the "Constellation" accounted for military products. Total revenue for the year - 1,14 billion.

***

As you can see, the first places in the rating of the largest manufacturers of weapons and military equipment remain almost unchanged, and the main movements along the lines occur in the middle and lower parts of the list. Russian defense companies, with some exceptions, are showing steady growth, but so far they have not risen above 12. However, in the light of the changing situation in the North American and Western European defense industry, Russian manufacturers are quite capable of seriously moving up the list over the next few years. In addition, some domestic enterprises were able to rise from the second hundred manufacturers to the first, pushing down foreign competitors. As a result, as SIPRI analysts note, the general indicators of the companies from Top 100 have been falling for the first year, and the income of Russian defense enterprises, on the contrary, is growing.

What was the international market for weapons and military equipment, we will find out next year. Already in spring, the Stockholm World Research Institute is due to publish the first reports describing the market situation in 2014 ending the year.

      - not really. 1 - we do not start a war across the continent - the number of weapons produced less; 2 - do not scare anyone by the fact that someone is about to attack them and do not force them to arm themselves - see conclusion 1; 3 - our weapons are cheaper. hi

      No, Russia is already stupidly inferior in that the United States is 2 times more than Russia and a priori the American army needs more and their companies can only sell 2 times more goods than their own army than the Russians. And especially the whole Middle East under them, well, only Iraq began to do little work. With India, neopnts. And China is inventing more and more. And the American army is fighting and waving large, unlike Russia, so the supplies there are large initially.
      Therefore, there are no prerequisites that Russia will come first. But it may break into the top ten.

      What's the point? The entire first 10ka actually works for the Petagon, with their overpriced purchase prices. The assessment is based on earnings. Russian military equipment is cheaper, but not inferior in quality.

        that's it. a long time ago I read somewhere that like 70% of amerovskoy military budget goes to salaries and other similar delights, and not to "hardware." so if we apply this coefficient to amerovskie companies, then suddenly it turns out that Russian (and not only) companies go shoulder to shoulder with amerovskie.

    Let's look at the ratings when the T-50 and T-14 are released. I am glad that there is a rise in electronics. True, it is difficult to compete with Boeing. They have a lot of civilian sectors. And they do not take into account the Chinese in vain. Take the same Norinco corporation. I think she would immediately be in the top twenty, given orders for the needs of the Chinese army and how much they export, her income is rather big.

    In comparison, it turned out that our companies are far behind in terms of arms production. So Almaz-Antey in volume is equal to 10th place with Italians, and Rosvertol is already in 25th place, so we are still far from the NATO sharks. In the meantime, only damn, damn, fuck.

      All the time they are compared by the total sales volume in companies and do not pay attention to the peculiarities of the countries in which these companies work. And in my opinion it is completely in vain, since the cost of manufacturing the same unit of product in different countries will differ significantly from each other. In the first place, most likely, at the minimum cost, China will take, then most likely Russia, and even the Western countries will have significantly higher costs in the construction of weapons.

      In quantitative terms, these ratios are completely different. Recently, there was information that more military aircraft were built in Russia this year than in the United States. So not everything is so bad.

    There is a positive trend, and this is important. We need to continue to work, the defense industry is pulling a large number of allies, so success in this area has a positive effect on many sectors of the economy.

    "sales of US and Canadian military products are gradually declining. Russian organizations show steady growth"....

    That's a positive factor ...
    Moreover, the Strategic Missile Forces and the submarine fleet are armed with the latest complexes, and the Air Force is also equipped with modern planes, helicopters and airplanes, while the United States and its allies have this fleet obsolete ...

      Not reassured! Even the best models of prospective convertiplanes are inferior in speed to aircraft, and in load and multifunctionality to helicopters. On the topic of who is cooler than an impact drone (drone) or a cruise missile, you can write a dissertation, but you can not find the truth.
      Complexity, modularity, innovativeness, manufacturability - all this can be multiplied by quality and programmed evaluation + systemicity and perhaps there are basic principles for the development of modern armed forces.

    To get into the top 10, it is necessary to provide the military-industrial complex with orders for amounts comparable to Western ones.
    We do not have such a market. The largest buyers - China and India want to produce weapons themselves.

    Yes, and we need it - is this a place in the ranking?
    We need to ensure independence and the ability to "give a hand" to NATO members. And this requires not orders-income, but allies in the economy.

    Interesting rating. I would like to see the dynamics of all countries over 5 years. With assumptions on China.
    The redistribution of the market as a cause of conflicts and economic sanctions, and the dynamics of volume is a chance of confrontation between countries.

    The article is interesting, the author - respect.
    In fact: in the 90s, a certain Humpbacked (suk a) organized a conversion. And defense enterprises began to produce pots instead of tanks and aircraft. They released good tanks - they began to produce bad pots. Get out! Sell ​​one tank - you can buy a whole bunch of pots! It was necessary to do what you can do, and not what someone is supposed to do. And they lost everything: both people and the production base. I apologize for the vocabulary - emotions are overwhelming. And the fact that now we are going out somewhere is a huge achievement. And there will be development. The President said, and he is responsible "for the bazaar". And opportunities have appeared.
