$19.2 billion in defense exports gave Israel a fifth straight annual record in 2025, up nearly 30% from 2024 and more than double the level of five years ago.
$10 billion of the total came from government-to-government agreements, while 53% of signed deals were worth more than $100 million, underscoring demand for large contracts.
Missile, rocket and air-defense systems led with 29% of deal volume, and observation and optronics jumped to 22% from 6% a year earlier.
Europe took the largest regional share at 36%, ahead of Asia-Pacific at 32%, as Israeli firms kept supplying the military and foreign customers under wartime conditions.
The ministry linked the surge to combat-proven performance since Oct. 7, 2023 — including Operation Rising Lion against Iran in June 2025 — and to reforms easing access to new markets.
