Les ventes des 100 plus grands groupes d'armement au monde ont augmenté en 2020

Le chiffre d'affaires des 100 plus grands groupes mondiaux du secteur de la défense a atteint en 2020 un nouveau sommet de 531 Md$ (470 Md€), dont plus de la moitié par les entreprises américaines, selon un rapport de l'Institut international de recherche sur la paix de Stockholm (Sipri) publié lundi 6 décembre. Cela représente une hausse de 1,3% sur un an de leurs ventes d'armement et de services militaires, alors que dans le même temps l'économie mondiale a chuté de plus de 3%, souligne l'organisme de recherche. Derrière les 41 entreprises américaines du top 100 et leur part de 54%, 26 sociétés européennes ont comptabilisé 21% des ventes totales. Suivent la Chine (13% du total, avec 5 entreprises) et la Russie (5%, 9 entreprises). En comptant séparément les pays européens, la Chine est le deuxième pays et le Royaume-Uni le troisième (7 entreprises, 7,1%), devant la Russie (9 sociétés, 5%) et la France (6 entreprises, 4,7%). « La progression de la Chine comme un producteur majeur d'armement a été tirée par sa volonté de devenir plus auto-dépendante dans sa production et du fait de programmes ambitieux de modernisation » de ses armées, souligne le Sipri.
