AUDE FLEURANT AND SAM PERLO-FREEMAN

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,
see box 1), 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 2002 (see figure 1).

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE TOP 100

This edition of the SIPRI Top 100 arms-producing and military services
companies fact sheet introduces a new category, 'emerging producers',
to classify companies in Brazil, India, Republic of Korea (South Korea),
Singapore and Turkey. The new category better tracks the
progression of these countries in the global arms industry.
In 2013, emerging arms-producing and military services
companies accounted for 3.6 per cent of the total arms sales
of the Top 100 (see figure 2).....
