Key Highlights:

- US defense expenditure is forecast to value US$670.9 billion in 2012, growing at a CAGR of 4.19% during the review period. However, due to the country's growing fiscal deficit, domestic military expenditure is expected to register a CAGR of 0.63% over the forecast period, to reach a value of US$688 billion by 2016. Although the country's total defense spending is likely to decrease, factors such as the potential nuclear threats posed by North Korea and Iran, modernization initiatives, ongoing military operations and strategies to maintain military supremacy and protect its allies will continue to drive the US defense budget. Cumulatively, the US is projected to spend US$3.3 trillion on its armed forces over the forecast period.

- During the review period the US allocated 4.6% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. However, this figure is forecast to decline to 3.8% by 2016, due to increasing financial constraints as a consequence of the global financial crisis.
