September 2007

Compiled by Neil Hampson, UK Aerospace & Defence (A&D) Leader with support from A&D consultant Felicien Dillard and written by Flight International magazine. An article by Alistair Kett, UK A&D Performance Improvement Consulting Leader entitled, "Customers say 'Enough is Enough'", is also featured.

Key findings:

  • Aerospace's Top 100 revenue generators grew 12% in 2006 to $483.4 bn - but almost all that growth came from the commercial market, with the defence business remaining essentially flat.
  • Operating profits totalled $41.5 bn last year, up 8%.
  • In keeping with the 80/20 rule, the Top 20 companies accounted for 80% of the industry's sales and earnings.
  • The aerospace industry will be lucky to see similar revenue growth in 2007 given the constraints on commercial aircraft capacity growth at Airbus and Boeing - and defence spending staying flat.
