KEY FACTSw The volume of transfers of major weapons in 2009–13 was 14 per cent higher than in 2004–2008.w The five biggest exporters in 2009–13 were the USA, Russia, Germany, China and France. Together they accounted for 74 per cent of the volume of arms exports. The USA and Russia alone supplied 56 per cent of all exports.w China has further cemented its position as a major exporter of arms, replacing France as the fourth largest arms exporter.w The five biggest importers in 2009–13 were India, China, Pakistan, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Together, they received 32 per cent of all arms imports.w Saudi Arabia ranked among the five biggest recipients for the first time since 1997–2001.w The main recipient region in 2009–13 was Asia and Oceania (accounting for 47 per cent of imports), followed by the Middle East (19 per cent), Europe (14 per cent), the Americas (10 per cent) and Africa (9 per cent).w Between 2004–2008 and2009–13, arms imports to states in Africa increased by 53 per cent, Asia and Oceania by 34 per cent and the Americas by 10 per cent.

The five biggest exporters in 2009–13 were the United States, Russia, Germany, China and France and the five biggest importers were India, China, Pakistan, the United A rab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia.The flow of arms to Africa, the Americas, and Asia and Oceania increased significantly between 2004–2008 and 2009–13, while there was a notable decrease in the flow to Europe. The level of arms transfers to the Middle East remained more or less unchanged.From 17 March 2014 the SIPRI A rms Transfers Database (see box 1) includes newly released information on arms transfers during 2013. This Fact Sheet highlights key trends and issues in arms transfers that are revealed by the new data. It lists the main exporters and importers in 2009–13 and describes the regional trends. Since the volume of deliveries of arms can fluctuate significantly from one year to the next, SIPRI uses a five-year moving average to give a more stable measure of trends in transfers of major weapons.Note : The bar graph shows annual totals and the line graph shows the 5-year moving average (each data poi nt i n the li ne graph represents an average for the precedi ng 5-year peri od). The SIPRI trend-i ndi cator value (TIV) i s a measure of the volume of inter n ational transfers of major weapons. The method used to calculate the SIPRI TIV is described on the SIPRI website at
