Recent Developments
Aerostructures 2009 - Our latest aerostructures report provides analysis of market trends and detailed segmentation of this sector, including the impact on the market structure of the creation the 2 new large players, Aerolia and Premium Aerotec, as well as GKN's acquisition of Airbus's Filton aerostructures operations. The report is our most comprehensive ever analysis of the worldwide aerostructures market.
Overall industry comment - Last year we undertook several studies of the impact of economic trends on aerospace. Some of our clients accused us of being too pesssimistic - but we weren't! And in the case of business jets we weren't pessimistic enough.
nAerospace actuation - In our November 2008 report, we predicted more and significant consolidation. A major move has happened with the Woodward acquisition of HR Textron (although it was not the move we expected). Quite apart from M&A moves a lot of consolidation is happening anyhow with an increasingly hierarchical market and the award of large systems contracts.
Aeroengine and IGT components – Market interest (judged by the enquiries we receive) still tends to be more oriented towards IGTs than aeroengine components as the former are seen as enjoying slightly less competitive market conditions and stronger demand.
Tooling for aerostructures - Still booming on the back of new programmes.
State funding of aerospace - One of the consequences of current economic trends is that governments are channelling more money into state funding. we also think that Europe is doing more of this than the US at the moment.
SpeedNews - We have been asked to speak again at the SpeedNews Suppliers Conference in Toulouse in September 2009.
