LONDON, Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Aerospace & Defense Industry Juxtaposed between Commercial Aerospace's Strong Growth Trajectory & Continued Budgetary Pressures across Defense Segment:

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. 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.

The Commercial Aerospace segment is in the middle of a phenomenal growth phase, driven, primarily, by significant growth in air traffic, projected to grow at 5% CAGR over long-term, 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 and a range of other incremental as well as radical innovations by key players in the global industry value chain. The introduction of new aircraft programs incorporating cutting-edge technologies has been the key driver of major fleet renewal underway across airlines globally and has transpired into record order backlog positions for new, commercial aircraft programs across key industry OEMs.

The beleaguered Defense segment, 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. The same has been 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 with all of these featuring next generation technologies extending the performance spectrum as well as capabilities. Additionally, the Ukraine crisis & Russian expansionism has heightened threat perception which is likely to drive defense budgets across a number of European states, based in Northern & Eastern Europe, led by Poland & Norway. These nations are focusing on building up military capabilities rapidly to counter growing Russian threat in the region. Defense budgets across a number of key nations based in the Asia-Pacific region & the Middle East continue to witness significant growth presenting potential growth opportunities for leading global industry players.
