About this report
Across Europe, defence institutions are reassessing how readiness and deterrence are sustained in an environment where industrial constraints have become as consequential as operational doctrine. Among these constraints, the production of energetics has emerged as a structural bottleneck that shapes every aspect of capability planning, from stockpile regeneration to procurement timelines and the credibility of sustained firepower.
This constraint does not concern advanced platforms but the fundamental industrial capacity required to supply propellants and high explosives, without which Europe cannot convert manufacturing inputs into usable munitions.
Key questions this report answers
- Why has energetics production emerged as a structural bottleneck shaping European stockpile regeneration, procurement timelines and sustained firepower?
- How does industrial capacity for propellants and high explosives determine whether Europe can convert manufacturing inputs into usable munitions?
- Which actors and dependency nodes constrain European energetics capacity?
- What policy, finance and industrial measures could relieve the constraint?
Who it's for
Strategy, corporate-development and investment teams that need an ecosystem-level view — budgets, industrial capacity and technology landscapes — before committing capital or capacity.
