Market Conditions

The globalisation of commerce, technology and finance has impacted the aerospace and defence industries. The relative strength of the U.S. economy, coupled with an open trade policy of the U.S. government, has encouraged ed foreign companies to seek a larger share  of U.S. markets.  Cutting-edge commercial technologies provided the impetus for governments and defence procurement officials to seek commercial systems solutions rather than specially engineered systems.

Major U.S. primes are increasingly involved in overseas markets, often through joint venture arrangements or other forms of corporate alliance.  In Europe , the newly formed, large  aerospace and defence companies have long histories of dealing in non-U.S. defence markets and have used a variety of corporate alliance arrangements to gain access to smaller defence markets around the world.

The wave of mergers and acquisitions among the top firms of the U.S. defence industry has increased their market share, particularly in combat aircraft, missiles, rockets and satellites. Cross-border acquisitions by European aerospace and defence firms have resulted in large conglomerates with interlocking corporate structures, positioned to address a full range of defence programs. The war on global terrorism, launched after the September 11 tragedy, is likely to open new markets that  European and U.S. companies will be able to exploit jointly.
