Strategy Guide - 2015 - World's 8 Leading Aerospace & Defense Companies - Key Strategies & Plans - Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Airbus, BAE Systems, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Finmeccanica
The global aerospace & defense industry at present is juxtaposed between strong tailwinds driving tremendous growth momentum in the commercial aerospace segment and continued headwinds in the defense segment, witnessing a cyclical downswing marked by defense budgetary cuts underway across most traditional markets after experiencing a phase of strong growth driven by the allied war on terror during the first decade of the present century. The global aerospace & defense industry & most industry players are, thus, in the process of harnessing the alternate cyclicality of the commercial & defense segments effectively to partially offset the ongoing slump in the defense segment by leveraging the commercial segment’s growth momentum while preserving the core competencies & capabilities of their defense businesses through maintenance of an optimized defense industrial base, in line with the prevailing industry vicissitudes and to navigate their way through.
The Commercial Aerospace segment is in the middle of a significant growth phase, driven, primarily, by significant growth in air traffic, projected to grow at 5% CAGR over long-term and continued improvements in cargo traffic globally along with other strong, long-term growth drivers complemented perfectly by the introduction of new aircraft programs by almost all key industry OEMs featuring cutting-edge technologies, especially, propulsion systems along with a range of other incremental as well as radical innovations by key players in the global industry value chain which has been a key driver of major fleet renewals underway across airlines globally and has ultimately been transpiring into significant growth avenues marked by burgeoning & record order backlog positions for new, commercial aircraft programs across all key industry OEMs.
The embattled Defense segment, however, too, has some niche windows of growth opportunities available, created, mostly by technological evolutions & radical innovations being pursued & delivered by the industry value chain driving the generational leap in strategic as well as operational capabilities while providing significant incentive through optimized operating economics for the impending need for replacement of legacy, cold war era systems & hardware, as evinced by the recent state of developments over the JMR-FVL (Joint Multi-Role, Future Vertical Lift), JLTV (Joint Light Tactical Vehicles) & the Next Generation, Strategic Bomber programs respectively and the emergence of the recent, self-funded developmental programs by OEMs. Additionally, the Ukraine crisis has triggered concerns with respect to defense capabilities & has heightened threat perception amongst a number of European states, based in Northern & Eastern Europe, led by Poland & Norway, which are focusing on building up military capabilities rapidly to counter growing Russian threat in the region which is likely to drive an increase in defense spending across Northern & Eastern Europe over near term. Russia’s defense budget is projected to grow to 4% of its GDP by 2016 while Chinese defsne spending, too, continues to spiral up. Defense budgets across other key nations based in the Asia-Pacific & Middle East regions, too, continue to witness significant growth presenting potential growth opportunities to leading global industry players.
Against this backdrop, the report provides comprehensive insights into the Key Strategies & Plans being conceived, formulated & implemented by the World’s 8 leading Aerospace & Defense companies to harness the significant, anticipated growth potential in the commercial aviation sector over medium term while managing the cost base of their defense business effectively to partially offset budgetary pressures across most traditional markets through optimization of costs & leveraging significant operational, financial, resource & market synergies across civil & defense segments effectively.
