KEY TRENDS (2016 – 2025)
| Helicopters | average annual value of ca. € 19 bn (ca. € 30 bn, including logistics and after-sales services), confirmed growth in civil / commercial and a reduction in military due to the completion of ongoing programs (mainly in US) and the lack of new programs in the given period |
|---|---|
| Space | average annual value of ca. € 100 bn, growing, with demand driven by Institutional, supported by missions for Earth observation, communications and navigation, and increasingly oriented towards end-to-end solutions including 'service'. Expected growth forecasts in satellites constellations in LEO orbit and small /medium-sized satellites (500 to 2,000 kg) for TLC |
| Security and IT Systems |
average annual value of ca. € 100 bn, with demand mainly driven by 'Security' (70% of the total), which benefits from border protection needs, also to monitor key areas and respond to emergencies (i.e. natural disasters, illegal immigration) |
| Defence Electronics and Systems |
average annual value of ca. € 127 bn. Defence Electronics is characterized by the increasing demand for (i) integrated and interoperable solutions for C4ISR modernization, and (ii) TBM (Tactical Ballistic Missile) solutions ; Defence Systems show a steady growth in tracked vehicles and MBT tied to new operating requirements, as well as moderate growth for underwater systems |
| Aeronautics / UAS |
average annual value of € 222 bn (**). Aeronautics: Civil, wide body and single aisle, retains considerable volumes (over 70% of the market), despite reduction in wide-body production rates (A380, B777, B747); volume of new orders is expected to decrease due to the completion of the demand "peak" . Growth in Military is linked to major programs 49 deliveries (EFA, F-35, Rafale, Gripen, A-400M, etc.) UAS – Military Appl: highly dynamic segment driven by ISR applications, with UCAV systems that will enter into service after 2025, and growing opportunities for rotorcraft systems. Civil Appl. Significantly growing, influenced by progress in flight safety issues, certification and regulation |
