Comparative SWOT & Strategy Focus - 2014-2017 - World's 5 Leading Business Jet Manufacturers - Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault, Cessna, Embraer
1. Global Business Aviation Industry Treading Steadily on Recovery Path:
The global business aviation Industry continues to recover steadily spearheaded by the large-cabin, long-range aircraft segment which accounted for almost 41% of the shipments in 2013 and registered record aircraft deliveries at a tremendous year on year growth rate of 18%. The light jets segment, on the contrary, continued with its contraction trend in 2013. However, the global business aviation industry is poised to register further growth and gain significant momentum over medium term with steadily improving global macroeconomic conditions & economic recovery underway across the United States & European Union and significant economic growth being registered by emerging markets led by China is likely to give a significant fillip to demand for new business jets.
Varied Strategy Focus & Variable Impact of Industry Bifurcation across OEMs:
The strategy focus across business jet makers has varied considerably with the clear bifurcation of the market amongst two distinct segments over recent years with the heavy jets segment witnessing significant demand growth while light jets segment continues to take a beating which has had variable impact on industry OEMs. Thus, industry OEMs with their product portfolio concentrated & positioned in the upper half of the price & performance spectrum; dominated by Gulfstream & Bombardier followed by Dassault; are strategically positioned to harness these tailwinds effectively while those in the lower half face themselves to be in a significantly disadvantageous position.
Introduction of New Aircraft Programs by OEMs featuring Cutting-Edge Technologies- a Key Demand Driver & Growth Catalyst:
Additionally, introduction of new aircraft programs by industry OEMs featuring cutting-edge technologies that include: incorporation of enhanced & synthetic vision, latest radar systems providing enhanced situational awareness, advanced aerodynamics driving performance capabilities, incorporation of latest fuel efficient engines featuring a high bypass ratio & usage of other material science innovations and integration of onboard prognostics & diagnostics capabilities for aircraft as well as engines transpiring into enhanced aircraft performance, safety & operating economics that have been a stimulant & catalyst for driving replacement demand.
Opening of Chinese Low-Altitude Airspace & Civil Aviation Reforms - Potential Window of Opportunity:
Further, strong economic growth momentum in China with the GDP sustaining a 7%+ growth rate & the opening as well as expansion of Chinese low-altitude airspace by the Chinese civil aviation authorities & the pursuit of proposed civil aviation reforms are likely to give a significant boost to the civil aviation sector with China projected to catapult itself to become the world’s third largest market for business jets over the next decade which is likely transpire into a significant growth opportunity for industry OEMs, especially, with respect to the light jet segment that has been impacted severely over the years.
