Willis (NASDAQ: WTW) and Oxford Analytica published a report on Jan 21, 2026 highlighting new economic risks to the defense sector driven by a surge in demand amid constrained production and weak cross‑border collaboration.
The report names five near‑term risks: scale vs sovereignty trade‑offs, tariff wars disrupting supply chains, dependence on Chinese materials, “phantom” defense spending that may not materialize, and failure to reindustrialize. It warns emerging threats from social backlash and fiscal strain as debt‑to‑GDP exceeds 100% in many advanced economies, which could weaken long‑term defense commitments.
