Research and Markets: Global Aerospace Raw Materials Market to Grow to $29,104 Million in 2017 with a CAGR of 4%

Posted on by

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jl2bqq/global_aerospace) has announced the addition of the "Global Aerospace Raw Materials Market: 2012-2017" report to their offering.

Hit by global recession, the global aerospace raw materials industry declined during 2010-2011. It is now expected to grow to $29,104 million in 2017 with a CAGR of 4% over the next five years.

One of the challenges that global aerospace raw materials suppliers face is the cancellation of orders from aircraft original equipment manufacturers as well as raw materials suppliers. In addition, the fabrication of raw materials requires a highly skilled labor force, which is difficult to acquire at low-cost wages.

This research indicates two major drivers of this market. The replacement of aircraft in mature markets, such as North America and Europe, will increase demand for aircraft in those regions, which will grow the demand for raw materials. The other primary driver is the anticipated dynamic growth in emerging markets due to increasing numbers of low-cost carriers, open sky policies, and air traffic growth.

This market study reports on industry size, industry trends (2006-2011), and forecast (2012- 2017) for the global aerospace raw materials market. It focuses on the recent developments and an in-depth analysis of the factors shaping the outlook for the aerospace raw materials market. Increasing fuel prices and greenhouse gases emissions regulation will drive the demand for advanced aerospace materials. Industry players that take the opportunity to engage the proper partners for alliances and take advantage of the growth prospects present in the aerospace raw materials can be anticipated to benefit from the growth forecasts for this market.

Time to Buy This Aerospace and Defense ETF? – ETF News And Commentary

Posted on by

Despite the uncertainty related to sequestration, huge defense budget cuts, and cancellation of big-ticket programs, the global aerospace and defense industry has nicely held up so far this year. This is largely attributable to technological innovations, big contracts, acquisitions and growing commercial demand.

Since the domestic aerospace and defense sector is facing budget cuts and a constrained spending environment from the U.S. government, the industry is looking for growth from international orders.

Additionally, a number of new emerging markets as well as developed nations, such as India, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Brazil, are boosting defense spending and generating business for the U.S. aerospace and defense companies.

Still, the U.S. is the leader in global defense spending. The country is not only a major superpower, but it also has strategic alliances with other foreign nations that have major military strengths and geopolitical concerns.

The country sometimes shares its military technology and supplies sophisticated weapons to its allies. These activities in turn boost the revenue of the defense operators and suppliers who sell these military applications to nations around the world (read: Any hope for Aerospace and Defense Industry ETFs in 2013? ).

However, on the flip side, the industry's position is challenged by global competition, changes in technology, national and worldwide economic conditions, and global policies affecting defense, civilian and commercial aviation. Going forward, the industry, in particular the defense sector, will face challenges as the federal government will look for solutions to the ongoing budget crisis.

Further, sequestration still remains an overhang both in the civil and military sectors. The companies that have little diversification outside the U.S. are highly susceptible to spending cuts from sequestration. On the other hand, those with an international order book would find it less difficult to face the brunt of sequestration (read: With Sequester Ahead, Are Defense ETFs in Trouble? ).

Overall, the industry has been performing well compared to other sectors, so investors seeking diversification should consider ETFs that target the aerospace & defense industry in the portfolio.

Considering the broad issues and opportunities, a look at top ranked aerospace & defense ETFs could be a winning choice for investors seeking to benefit from the positive market trends. One way to find a top ranked ETF in the financial space is by using the Zacks ETF Ranking system (read: Zacks ETF Rank Guide ).

I-Team: NASA, NLV Aerospace Co. to Explore Space Together

Posted on by

LAS VEGAS -- A North Las Vegas aerospace company is preparing to boldly go where few have gone before -- a public-private partnership with NASA that could be the start of the next space race.

Nevada's Bigelow Aerospace Co. made a joint announcement with NASA Thursday morning in Washington, D.C., that puts the North Las Vegas company in the pilot seat for the exploration and commercial development of the moon, Mars and beyond.

When the I-Team broke the news in late March that Bigelow Aerospace had signed an agreement with NASA to become, in essence, the general contractor for the commercial development of space, there was considerable skepticism within the national aerospace press corps, who figured it couldn't be true because they would have known about it.

Well, it is true, and on Thursday, NASA admitted as much. The agreement is as wide open as space itself and it puts Bigelow right in the middle of exciting scenarios worthy of Star Trek.

Company founder Bob Bigelow's longstanding interest in building a commercial base on the surface of the moon just took a giant leap forward. He built his aerospace company from scratch in just a little over a decade, and is now a full-fledged partner with NASA in exploring the final frontier.

The Space Act Agreement signed by NASA and Bigelow contains extraordinary and ambitious language about extending human civilization throughout the solar system -- a colony on Mars, for instance. As Bigelow has told the I-Team several times over the past 10 years that he wants to use a string of his homegrown, inflatable habitats as the building blocks of a permanent base on the moon.

I-Team: "You look at this, and realize, you're serious. This could happen in our lifetime."

Bigelow: "We've already had clients who have an interest in lunar activity ... If you had a facility, we would be interested in talking to you about it, on the lunar surface. There's no reason you could not have multiple bases."

Back in January, Bigelow and NASA announced that the space agency would spend $18 million on one of his inflatable spacecraft to serve as an addition to the International Space Station, but during the announcement, Bigelow let slip his plans for his own space station, which could be built and launched within three years at a fraction of the cost of NASA's version.

At the time, he was already negotiating with NASA for a much larger role in the next space race, and now, he has it. Bigelow Aerospace will be the central link between NASA and dozens of private companies that want to play a role in the creation of a new economy -- a space economy, including proposals far more complex than mere space tourism: research, manufacturing, medicine and agriculture.
