Operational signal
UK defence spend (£6.19bn, 241 awards) stays concentrated, with top-5 suppliers holding 55% share amid single-source niches like submarine reactors and missile refurbishment.
Industrial implication
Clients should prioritise resilience and second-source strategies in surveillance, UAS, encryption and underwater sustainment given persistent supplier concentration risk.
