Industry Overview
Market Landscape
Aerospace and defense markets are becoming more digital, networked, and capability-driven. Boeing’s 2026 outlook projects nearly 44,000 new commercial-aircraft deliveries over the next 20 years, with the fleet expected to exceed 50,000 aircraft by 2045. Fleet growth and replacement demand support avionics, propulsion, connectivity, sensors, maintenance, and manufacturing automation.
Defense modernization is accelerating autonomous platforms, open architectures, cloud-enabled command systems, and AI-assisted decision tools. In July 2026, the U.S. Air Force completed a YFQ-44A Collaborative Combat Aircraft live-fire test while retaining human authority over weapon release. NATO’s 2026 Ankara declaration also prioritized uncrewed systems, AI models, cyber and space assets, and an interoperable transatlantic warfighting cloud.
Our aerospace and defense practice tracks platforms, subsystems, electronics, software, services, fleets, budgets, contracts, regulations, launches, suppliers, and technology roadmaps. Clients use this research to size opportunities, forecast demand, compare program economics, prioritize applications, assess suppliers, plan market entry, and support investment decisions.
