US Coast Guard FY2025 Budget Overview

Complex Technological Requirements to Spur Competition

In this research service, Frost & Sullivan presents the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Coast Guard (USCG) fiscal year (FY) 2025 spending request, outlining the budget categories, key spending priorities, ongoing acquisition programs, and significant contracts.

In addition, the study highlights the key growth-driving and restraining factors, lists the most important contractors, and presents the 3 most significant growth opportunities in the market, as well as an outlook for the upcoming years.

Escalating tensions in regions like the Arctic, South China Sea, and Eastern Europe, combined with the push to integrate advanced technologies like AI, unmanned systems, and cybersecurity, are expected to drive USCG procurement efforts. Additionally, the focus on environmental protection and the Coast Guard's role in disaster response, oil spills, and illegal fishing will likely fuel investments in specialized vessels, aircraft, and technology.

However, federal budget constraints, especially during an election year, could limit available funds and hinder procurement efforts. Additionally, the complexity of the procurement process, with lengthy approvals and compliance requirements, may further delay or restrict new acquisitions.
