DISCLAIMER AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Defense Market Report is similar to the Top Markets Report Series, but does not attempt to forecast or project defense exports based on a sector-specific methodology as in other Top Markets reports published by the U.S. Department of Commerce. This report uses key economic indicators and various trade data sources to identify potential defense export opportunities for U.S. exporters. Primary data sources include military expenditure data (using the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, SIPRI, database) and defense export data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census.

Additionally, foreign defense budget data was collected from either a country's Ministry of Defense or sources in U.S. embassies (including the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service). Readers must keep in mind that foreign defense budgets in this report were based upon the best data available prior to final publication and are subject to change based upon further review.

U.S. defense exports are subject to export controls and the licensing regulatory review process, ensuring that exports meet the United States Government foreign policy and national security objectives.
