\n

\n Global military spending surged by almost 3% in 2025, fueled largely by ballooning defense expenditures in Europe and Asia, according to a report released Monday by a respected arms watchdog group.\n <\/p>\n

\n European defense spending jumped 14% from 2024, to $864 billion, and in Asia-Oceania the increase was 8.1%, to $681 billion, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said in its annual \u201cTrends in World Military Expenditure\u201d report.\n <\/p>\n

\n Overall, almost $2.9 <\/strong>trillion was spent on military programs around the world in 2025, a 2.9% increase from a year earlier. The figure represents 2.5% of the world\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP), the highest percentage since 2009, according to SIPRI.\n <\/p>\n

\n The US, China, Russia, Germany and India were the biggest spenders, collectively accounting for 58% of the global sum.\n <\/p>\n

\n While the report notes that the year-on-year increase in total spend is a drop from the 9.7% increase recorded in 2024, it says that was largely due to the United States approving no new spending to help arm Ukraine in 2025. SIPRI counts foreign military assistance on the accounts of the donor country.\n <\/p>\n

\n When the US is taken out of the statistics, global spending on defense rose 9.2% in 2025, the report says.\n <\/p>\n

\n Still, the US remains the world\u2019s No. 1 spender on the military \u2013 $954 billion in 2025 \u2013 followed by China, an estimated $336 billion, and Russia with an estimated $190 billion.\n <\/p>\n

\n But it was US allies around the world that led the spending increase, revealing some generational changes.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIn 2025 military spending by European NATO members<\/a> rose faster than at any time since 1953, reflecting the ongoing pursuit of European self-reliance alongside increasing pressure from the United States to strengthen burden sharing within the alliance,\u201d Jade Guiberteau Ricard, a researcher with the SIPRI Military Expenditure and Arms Production Programme, said in a statement.\n <\/p>\n

\n NATO countries with big increases include Belgium (59%), Spain (50%), Norway (49%), Denmark (46%), Germany<\/a> (24%), Poland (23%) and Canada (23%).\n <\/p>\n

\n Germany\u2019s total military spending of $114 billion ranks it No. 4 worldwide.\n <\/p>\n

\n In Asia, Japan<\/a> increased military spending by 9.7% to $62.2 billion, the report said. As a portion of Japan\u2019s GDP, the 1.4% spent on defense was the highest for the country since 1958, the report said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cUS allies in Asia and Oceania such as Australia, Japan and the Philippines are spending more on their militaries, not only due to long-standing regional tensions but also due to growing uncertainty over US support,\u201d SIPRI senior researcher Diego Lopes da Silva said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Meanwhile, Taiwan, the democratic, self-ruled island that the Chinese Communist Party claims as part of its territory despite never having controlled it, increased its military expenditures by 14.2% to $18.2 billion (2.1% of GDP), its biggest jump since at least 1988, according to the SIPRI.\n <\/p>\n

\n Under the Taiwan Relations Act, Washington is legally required to provide the island with the means to defend itself, and it supplies Taipei with defensive weaponry.\n <\/p>\n

\n China\u2019s defense spending increased 7.4% \u2013 the largest year-on-year jump in the past decade and the 31st<\/sup> year in a row it has gone up \u2013 as Beijing moves to meet a 2035 goal to modernize its forces, the report said.\n <\/p>\n

\n As a percentage of GDP, Ukraine is the world\u2019s biggest military spender, at an estimated 40%. Kyiv is in its fourth year fighting against a Russian invasion. Ukraine ranks No. 7 globally.\n <\/p>\n

\n Russia devoted 7.5% of its GDP to the military, as it spent 5.9% more than in 2024.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIn 2025 military expenditure as a share of government spending reached the highest level ever recorded in both Russia and Ukraine,\u201d said SIPRI researcher Lorenzo Scarazzato. \u201cTheir spending is likely to keep growing in 2026 if the war continues, with revenues from Russia\u2019s oil sales increasing and a major European Union loan expected by Ukraine.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Looking at other regions, Saudi Arabia was the biggest military spender in the Middle East at $83.2 billion, up 1.4% year over year.\n <\/p>\n

\n Israel followed Saudi Arabia in the region, spending $48.3 billion. That was down 4.9% from a year earlier, the drop due to hostilities in Gaza easing after Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in January 2025, according to the SIPRI.\n <\/p>\n

\n Iran saw its spending drop 5.6% in real terms, but high inflation of 42% plus funding from off-the-books oil sales means Tehran\u2019s military expenditures likely increased, the report said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cOfficial figures almost certainly understate the true level of Iran\u2019s spending\u2014 Iran also uses off-budget oil revenues to finance its military, including the production of missiles and drones,\u201d SIPRI researcher Zubaida Karim said.\n <\/p>\n

\n In South Asia, India\u2019s military spending, driven by a conflict with neighboring Pakistan, spiked 8.9% to $92.1 billion. New Delhi ranks No. 5 in the world, and it outspent Islamabad by $80 billion.\n <\/p>\n

\n In Africa, military spending jumped 8.5% overall to $58.2 billion. That figure would rank the entire continent as No. 11 if it were a single country, behind Japan and ahead of Israel. Algeria is the continent\u2019s biggest spender, and it ranks behind only Ukraine in GDP devoted to the military (25%).\n <\/p>\n

\n The current year promises to see even bigger increases in defense expenditures, the SIPRI said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cGiven the range of current crises, as well as many states\u2019 long-term military spending targets, this growth will probably continue through 2026 and beyond,\u201d SIPRI researcher Xiao Liang said in the report.\n <\/p>\n

\n The US is expected to be a big driver in that. Congress has already approved more than $1 trillion in defense spending in 2026 as the war against Iran, now about to enter its third month, is costing Washington about a billion dollars a day.\n <\/p>\n

\n For 2027, the Trump administration is proposing a $1.5 trillion defense budget<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
