SIPRI Yearbook 2012
5. Arms production and military services
The public spending crisis in the Global North has not yet had a large overall impact on the major companies in the arms production and military services industry (‘the arms industry’). Sales of arms and military services by the largest arms-producing companies—the SIPRI Top 100—continued to increase in 2010 to reach $411.1 billion, although at 1 per cent in real terms the rate of increase was slower than in 2009 (see section IV in this chapter). Between 2002 and 2010 arms sales of companies in the Top 100 rose by 60 per cent.
