NATO defense spending is increasing, with members committed to a new goal of 5% of GDP by 2035, building on the previous 2% guideline, as allies invest more to meet evolving security challenges, with the US remaining the largest contributor but European members significantly boosting their outlays. In 2024, total NATO spending reached approximately $1.5 trillion (55% of global defense), and many countries are nearing or exceeding the 2% benchmark, with 18 members spending at least that much in 2024, up from 11 in 2023.
