$885B – $918B
FY25 estimate · growing 6–8% CAGR
STRATENITY READ — Aerospace & Defense is in its strongest combined up-cycle in fifteen years, an $885B market growing at 6 to 8 percent CAGR through 2030, driven simultaneously by record commercial backlogs (12+ years at current production rates), $2.7T global military spending (up 9.4 percent year over year), and a once-25-percent-of-demand China market now structurally bifurcated. The cycle question is no longer demand. It is execution capacity to satisfy demand, and this is precisely where the consulting and integration spend will concentrate.

02 Cycle Drivers
1
Air Travel Up-Cycle
Global passenger traffic past 2019 in 2024; +5.5 percent forecast 2026 (IATA). Replacement and growth fleets ordered simultaneously.
2
Defense Spending Surge
$2.7T global military spend 2024 (+9.4 percent YoY, SIPRI). NATO and Indo-Pacific posture drive multi-year procurement.
3
Space Economy Acceleration
Global space economy $570B in 2023 (+7.4 percent). PNT subsector growing 155 percent by 2035. Commercial leading.
4
Sustainability Forcing Function
SAF $1.1B → $16.8B by 2030 (47.7 percent CAGR). Composites and lightweight materials in commercial demand.

03 Industry Signals
▸ Demand Up-Cycle Persisting Through 2030+
Global air traffic past 2019 in 2024; +5 to 6 percent annually. Boeing and Airbus combined backlog is 12+ years of production at current rates. The most favorable demand environment in 15 years.
▸ Capacity Is the Binding Constraint
Engine availability (CFM LEAP, Pratt GTF, Rolls Trent) is the real bottleneck. Both OEMs limited by ramp speed, not orders. Airbus 75 per month by 2027; Boeing 52. Neither is easy.
▸ China Bifurcated, COMAC Rising
COMAC C919 ramping for the domestic market. Western OEMs partition the global market with China as a third domestic axis.
▸ Defense Cycle Multi-Year, Margins Hard
$2.7T global spend up 9.4 percent. NATO 2 percent commitments locked. But fixed-price legacy programs across primes carry multi-billion forward losses.
▸ Workforce Crisis Becoming Existential
67 percent of A&D firms cite talent retention as the primary challenge. 123K+ US technicians needed over the next two decades.

04 Industry Gap Analysis
G1
Engine Capacity Bottleneck
CFM, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce all capacity-constrained. No structural relief before 2027. Single biggest cycle risk.
G2
Tier 1 Supplier Stress
Spirit AeroSystems re-acquisition signals broader vertical re-integration trend. Tier 1 suppliers under quality and financial pressure.
G3
Defense Fixed-Price Legacy
KC-46, T-7, Starliner pattern across primes. Multi-billion accumulated losses constrain margin recovery sector-wide.
G4
China Strategic Architecture
COMAC competitive read sector-wide. Tariff scenarios, market re-entry sequencing, under-served at industry level.
G5
Workforce Shortage Severe
123K+ technicians needed. AI and automation a partial offset. Skills and retention is now an industry-level strategic question.
G6
Sustainability Investment Lag
SAF and composites real but slow. Hydrogen and electric propulsion early-stage. Industry pace lagging stated targets.
