Rolls-Royce plc - Strategy Dossier - 2015 - Key Strategies, Plans, SWOT, Trends & Strategic Outlook
INTRODUCTION, INDUSTRY BACKDROP & REPORT OVERVIEW:
The report provides comprehensive insights into the Strategic Positioning, Strategic Priorities, Strategic Responsiveness and Key Strategies & Plans for Rolls Royce plc based on a holistic assessment as well as comprehensive analysis of Business Activities, Strategic Initiatives, Strategic Measures, Business & Strategic Developments and Strategic Moves against the backdrop of an evolving industry landscape with the global aviation propulsion sector on the brink of a technological leap with decades of research on technological evolution by key industry OEMs transpiring into next generation of aerospace propulsion systems that have been amongst the key drivers of significant replacement demand underway across the commercial & regional aviation segments of-late with their optimized operating economics besides significant reduction in emissions as well as noise levels.
Amongst engine manufacturers, CFM & Pratt & Whitney have been at the forefront of this R&D driven battle for supremacy of the regional & narrow-body segments of the aviation industry with their LEAP (Leading Edge Aviation Propulsion) & Geared Turbofan (GTF) engine technologies respectively while Rolls Royce & GE wage a pitched battle in the wide body segment, especially, over the Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner program variants with GE maintaining a significant lead over Rolls Royce while the 777X program has gone GE’s way while Rolls Royce spearheads the Airbus’s A350XWB & A330neo aircraft programs as a single source engine supplier with increasing polarization amongst American & European OEMs as well as engine manufacturers.
The demand for commercial aircrafts globally is being driven by growing fleet replacement demand across airliners propelled by significant growth in air traffic, projected to grow at 5% CAGR through the early 2030s and technological innovations, especially, next-generation aircraft engines delivering an optimized operating economics with a 15%-20% enhanced fuel efficiency along-with significantly reduced emissions and enhanced aerodynamic efficiency. Introduction of new engine programs by almost all key manufacturers featuring cutting-edge technologies & radical innovations have in turn been the most significant demand driver for the latest aircraft programs introduced by OEMs.
In the military aerospace segment, the support for continued development of the next generation jet engine program and the approval for the USAF’s next generation bomber program, with allocations to the tune of $1 billion in the DoD’s FY2015 budget request for the engine program itself, is likely to give a significant boost to the engine manufacturers and potentially open up strategically significant growth avenues over medium term.
