Entering into new markets – Military Business as an opportunity to compensate turnover during cyclical slowdowns in civil markets
European economy seems to be facing a cyclical slowdown in the capital goods market. GDP growth in 2019 is expected to decline from 2.0 (2018) to 1.4. This forces companies to identify alternative markets to compensate losses in turnover.
One solution to this problem could be the development of the Military Business as it is mainly driven by global Defence politics.
For many companies it can be profitable to identify the potential of their products and services in regards to the requirements of Armed Forces, procurement agencies and the Defence Industry, either doing B2M business directly with the public client or as supplier of a prime contractor.
Turnover generated in B2M business can be valuable to compensate for lost sales in other core markets.
WIMCOM supports the entry into the B2M market and points out how new business opportunities can be created or how established Military Business can be expanded.
