5% of GDP for Defence: Long-Term Signal, or Political Noise?
In June 2025, the UK Prime Minister pledged to raise defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, a significant long-term commitment that could push annual budgets well above £100 billion if fully realised.
For contractors, this signals more complex, multi-year procurement pipelines spanning hardware programmes, new site builds, digital upgrades, and supply chain resilience. Yet big pledges still need practical delivery, and companies must be prepared to scale in line with real budgets and timelines.
