Aerospace market opportunities -- what the industry itself thinks

Clive Lewis, Managing partner, Achieving the Difference

. . . speaking at the MAA annual conference 20 Feb 2013

Each year, the Export Focus Group of UK national aerospace body ADS produces a UK Aerospace International Strategy which identifies major opportunities for UK aerospace in international markets and recommends how these opportunities should be approached. Uniquely, the data combined in the strategy comes directly from major aerospace companies -- based on their own best forecasts. 

Clive Lewis analyses this data and facilitates development of the strategy. He will be giving conference delegates a preview of the strategy before its launch.

The 2013 strategy will for the first time include opportunities for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and military upgrade programmes, thanks to data contributed by ICF SH&E and Flightglobal respectively.

Although traditional aerospace markets will remain important for UK industry, Clive Lewis says the 2013 strategy will reveal how high-growth markets such as China, India and Brazil will drive global civil aerospace growth, and how significant military upgrade opportunities are spread through the USA, Europe, Russia, Middle East and Asia.

Clive is a strategic marketer and market forecaster with nearly 30 years aerospace experience. Before joining Achieving the Difference, his roles in global aerospace businesses included leading the forecasting function.

Now, he uses his experience to help a wide range of companies grow in aerospace and other advanced engineering sectors. Flightglobal’s Commercial Fleet Forecast is produced by Clive and he has prepared the data used in the UK International Aerospace Strategy and facilitates the strategy process.
