Global Arms IIndustry

The sales of arms and military services by the SIPRI Top 100—the world’s 100 largest arms-producing and military services companies (excluding China, ranked by their arms sales—totalled $402 billion in 2013.

This is a decrease of 2.0 per cent in real terms compared to Top 100 revenues in 2012, continuing the decline that started in 2011, but at a slower rate. Despite three consecutive years of decreasing sales for the Top 100, total revenues remain 45.5 per cent higher in real terms than for the Top 100 in 200.

North America and Western Europe continue to dominate the global arms industry and comprised 69 of the Top 100 companies for 2013. They accounted for 84.2 per cent of the total arms sales of the Top 100.
