Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Revenues from sales by the world’s top 100 arms producers dropped by 3.5% to $597 billion in 2022, compared to a year earlier, despite the sharp rise in demand, an international think tank report showed on Monday.<\/p>\n

The decline was mainly led by falling arms revenues among major companies in the US, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said in its report.<\/p>\n

Global arms revenues are expected to surge in the next few years due to \u201coutstanding orders and a rise in new contracts,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Despite the growing demand for weapons and military equipment which was fueled by the Russia-Ukraine war and geopolitical tensions in 2022, companies struggled to boost their production capacity due to labor shortages, soaring costs and supply chain disruptions.<\/p>\n

“Many arms companies faced obstacles in adjusting to production for high-intensity warfare,” said Lucie Beraud-Sudreau, director of SIPRI\u2019s Military Expenditure and Arms Production Program.<\/p>\n

Sudreau stressed that that newly signed contracts, notably for ammunition, are expected to translate into higher revenue in 2023 and beyond.<\/p>\n

Dominating the top 100 with a 51% share, the arms revenues of the 42 US companies dropped by 7.9% year-on-year to $302 billion in 2022.<\/p>\n

The figure for 22 companies from Asia and Oceania listed in the ranking grew 3.1% to $134 billion in 2022.<\/p>\n

“Domestic demand and reliance on local suppliers shielded Asian arms companies from supply chain disruptions in 2022,” said Xiao Liang, a researcher with the SIPRI Military Expenditure and Arms Production Program.<\/p>\n

The 4 Turkish companies\u2019 total arms revenues amounted to $5.5 billion in 2022, marking a 22% hike from 2021.<\/p>\n

Diego Lopes da Silva, a SIPRI senior researcher, said: “A case in point is Tu\u0308rkiye\u2019s Baykar, producer of the Bayraktar TB-2 drone. Baykar entered the Top 100 for the first time after its arms revenue rose by 94%, the fastest growth rate of any company in the ranking.”<\/p>\n

China accounted for the second largest share of combined Top 100 arms revenues by country, at 18%. The eight Chinese arms companies saw a 2.7% rise in revenues to $108 billion in 2022.<\/p>\n

Due to a lack of data, only two Russian companies were included in the list, the report said. Their combined arms revenues fell by 12% to $20.8 billion.<\/p>\n

The sole Ukrainian company in the Top 100, UkrOboronProm, posted a 10% decline in its arms revenue to $1.3 billion.<\/p>\n
