DUBLIN, July 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — The “Europe’s Top 5 Aerospace & Defense Companies – Annual Strategy Dossier – 2019 – Airbus, BAE Systems, Leonardo, Rolls Royce, Dassault” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The European defense industrial base has been on a renaissance of sorts over the recent years driven by the radical transformation of geopolitical dynamics and equations with the dismantling of traditional rule-based world order and the transition away from the typical unipolar world, which had prevailed since the end of Cold war.

The same has been further exacerbated by the Trump led U.S. administration’s squandering of the traditional global leadership role under the America First policy which has led to the realignment of relationships with the key NATO & other allies with the mandate to increase defense spending to the 2% level of GDP. The defense spending across most parts of the world has been on a steady upswing over the past couple of years and is likely to maintain that course over the near term.

Further, the resurgence of Russia as a key regional power over the years and the emphatic display of its capabilities across Crimea & Syria and the development of cutting edge next generation weapon systems has provided enough incentives & created a sense of urgency amongst most European states to review and update their defense capabilities.

The U.K.’s exit from the EU, too, has accelerated as well as catalyzed defense & security cooperation amongst the remaining EU member states with the initiation of joint development programs, most noticeably, the Franco-German Future Combat Air System (FCAS) project entailing the development of a common next-generation fighter jet program.

In the land systems domain, the contemplation of a joint Franco-German Main Ground Combat System (MGCS) to replace the existing German Leopard 2 and French Leclerc Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) is in the offing. These multi-billion dollar joint defense programs, which are currently in the very initial stages, are likely to provide a lot of traction to the European defense industrial base over the long term.

On the Commercial Aerospace front, the Global Commercial Aircraft market continues to be in the supercruise mode with the longest, uninterrupted aviation super cycle being propelled by strong tailwinds with strong demand drivers and favorable macroeconomic factors driving order intake across the industry value chain which is likely to translate into strong, sustained top-line growth for the industry over the next decade as it gears up for disciplined operational execution.

The OEMs are focused strongly on ramping up aircraft production rates through the next decade to meet delivery schedules with production output on most key aircraft programs going up. The technology landscape across industry, too, has been evolving radically with hybrid-electric propulsion technologies for commercial aircraft; aimed at reducing CO2 emission levels drastically while scaling down operating costs substantially; likely to become a functional reality by the middle of next decade with active R&D initiatives being pursued by the industry. Additionally, the resurgence of supersonic air travel & the emergence of Urban Aerial Mobility are likely to bring the next wave of disruptive technologies to the market by the middle of next decade.

The modernization & upgrade of existing defense hardware and replacement of existing platforms with ready, off the shelf solutions, continues unabated across most parts of the world and is providing significant growth avenues for the European aerospace & defense companies, which have traditionally derived a substantial proportion of their revenues from international exports.

Thus, with acknowledgment of strong external threat perceptions, there is political consensus on fast-tracked modernization, upgrade & replacements, which have been further corroborated by technological developments by the industry which are promising next-generation capabilities at affordable TCO. The European defense industrial base, thus, is readily gearing up with a spurt in activity after a long phase of being dormant and is looking forward to a long & much-anticipated activity boom with most OEMs reinvigorating & readying up their industrial bases for the action.
