The Priority of the World's Countries is "Homeland Security"
The destruction caused by regional wars and conflicts in the geography we live in and in various parts of the world has resulted in the displacement of people, causing millions of people to live in irregular conditions.
leads to migration. In the chaos environment created by irregular migration, many interconnected threats such as illegal human & drug trafficking, terrorism and the resulting economic losses threaten both the border and homeland security of countries and their resources. As countries' border, border and homeland security needs increase significantly, the need for intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance systems and artificial intelligence-based security applications increases even more.
From the Security of Air, Sea and Land Transportation to the Security of Critical Facilities and Factories, from the Cyber Security of Government Institutions to the Security of the Health System, from the Security of Natural and Wild Life to the Protection of Aboveground and Underground Riches, etc. Homeland Security, which includes many issues, creates a market worth 600 billion dollars worldwide today. According to research, it is expected that this market will grow by 5%-6% every year and reach the trillion dollar level in the 2030s.
Turkish Defense Industry, which broke a new record with an export figure of 5.5 billion dollars in 2023, continues its intensive development and production infrastructure activities to increase this figure even higher in the coming years. In this context, it should be an important goal for Turkey to gain a significant share from this market, which is showing significant growth.
SEDEC Committee Chairman Hilal UNAL pointed out that there are important opportunities for Turkish companies in Homeland Security exports:
“With the conflicts and wars in our region and especially in its geography, we see that countries have significantly increased both their homeland security and defense resources. With the uncertainty and destructiveness of when the Palestine-Israel and Russia-Ukraine wars will end, many countries began to allocate serious resources to protect borders, borders and homeland security. Today, we see that many European countries have joined the conjuncture in which Middle Eastern, Asian and Pacific countries have begun to increase their security and defense budgets. "In the security and defense supply chain, it should now be a target for all Turkish companies, from our Main Contractor companies that produce competitive technology with their production infrastructure, design and design capabilities, to SMEs and our sub-industry, to get the maximum share from these budgets." he said.
