Stable Outlook for the Commercial Aviation Sector Drives the Aerospace & Defense Industry, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.


(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) San Jose, California (PRWEB) August 11, 2014 Follow us on LinkedIn – Global Aerospace and Defense industry primarily comprises of companies, both large and small engaged in the production of a range of aircraft products and services, flight simulation systems and aircraft MRO services, serving both military and defense segments. The industry also encompasses pure defense related equipment such as missiles, C4ISR and related solutions; space equipment such as launch vehicles and satellites; GPS among others. The industry, which witnessed significant growth over the last 15 years, continues to evolve with the development of several new advanced technologies serving both aviation and defense sectors. Backed by a strong research and development base, the industry is poised to lend a significant boost to the development of new advanced commercial/military aviation products and defense/military equipment and services in the coming years. The aerospace and defense (A&D) industry is sensitive to a broad range of technological, political, social, and economic factors. While political factors revolve around regulations, trade/tariff/tax policies, economic factors encompass rate of GDP growth, level of inflation, debt/interest rates and health of the commercial aviation sector.



Growth in the global aerospace & defense industry declined during the 2007-2009 economic recession period. Aircraft products and services serving the commercial aviation market came under direct pressure due to weak economic growth, and reductions in cargo and passenger traffic. Defense/military products and services such as aircraft, missiles, C4ISR related solutions, on the other hand, fared better given the relatively unchanged military and defense budgets. Stable medium and long-term growth forecast for the commercial aviation sector supported by rise in passenger/freight traffic, investments on new aircraft by airlines, and airport infrastructure development, will drive significant demand for a range of commercial aircraft products and services in the coming years. While defense spending in the United States and Western European countries continues to reduce, the same in developing markets are growing by a huge margin, thus promising to lend growth traction to defense/military products and services.

The industry is undergoing rapid transformation triggered by technological developments, new product launches and new application possibilities. In addition, factors such as competition, government support, and global security scenario are likely to have a decisive influence on growth. Powered by their impressive economic growth, emerging economies in Asia-Pacific will turbocharge future growth in the industry.


As stated by the new market research report on Aerospace & Defense, the United States represents the largest market worldwide, while Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 8.4% over the analysis period. Growth in the region is led by massive defense spending in China and India. Aircraft Products & Services represents the largest market segment. Space Equipment ranks as the fastest growing market driven by growing investments on satellite network expansions by developing countries, expanding applications of communications satellites, and growing prominence of micro-satellites.
