Israel’s Defense Ministry reports that Israel’s defense exports reach a record level in 2025, totaling about $19 billion (with some reports citing $19.2 billion). Multiple outlets say the figure represents a roughly 30% increase from 2024, and that exports continue rising for a fifth consecutive year. Other reporting characterizes the broader growth as more than doubling over the past five years and as a multi-year acceleration compared with earlier levels.
The Defense Ministry also attributes the increase largely to missile, rocket, and air-defense systems. Several outlets cite that these categories account for about 29% of total deal volume in 2025, with rocket and air-defense sales highlighted as a key driver. Overall, the reporting presents the record export milestone as both a continuation of Israel’s upward export trend and as evidence of sustained international demand for air and missile defense capabilities.
Across sources, the central points are consistent: record exports in 2025, year-over-year growth near 30%, and a significant share of deals tied to missile, rocket, and air-defense systems.
