DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a14471/the_global_aerospa) has
announced the addition of the "The Global Aerospace Market Trends and Forecast
2009-2028" report to their offering.

On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet
above a sandy beach in North Carolina. That flight lasted all of 12 seconds and
covered 120 feet. More than 100 years later, aircraft manufacturers today are
fabricating aircraft that can carry hundreds of passengers thousands of miles to
destinations throughout the globe.

The aerospace market has experienced significant growth during the last 5 years
and is expected to reach $301 billion in 2018 with a global growth rate of 5.1%
for the next ten years. The critical success factor for aerospace market is the
increasing demand in developing countries; in addition, the author believes the
most successful companies will be those that can develop application specific,
customer-focused solutions and have the ability to help their customers achieve
long-term business objectives, such as increasing efficiency and lowering costs
with expanded lifetime of the aircraft.

Learn what factors are impacting the aerospace market. The report looks
extensively at recent industry trends, as well as future opportunities and
threats, and represents an invaluable aid to sales and marketing professionals
in, or interested in, the industry. In addition, the report analyses market
sizes and trends, market structures, key company shares for various segments.

The author has identified, analyzed and projected the best and worst performing
segments in the aerospace market. The worst performers were the markets which
were most closely associated with credit crunch for financing general aviation
and short term contract for business jet and commercial helicopter. The best
performing market was the one with firm long-term contracts with customers. With
the global downturn, it proves important to understand those sectors and
segments which continue to show strength and future potential. The top three
segments are expected to grow between 7.2%-12.5% per year over the next ten
years offering substantial opportunities for firms focused on these
opportunities.

In an industry that is increasingly looking to developing markets to sustain
long-term growth, "The Global Aerospace Market Trends and Forecast, 2009-2028"
provide up to date information on the state of the both the developed and
emerging markets. This unique report will provide you with all the valuable
information and tools that you may need in operating your business successfully

Executive Summary:

Despite the global economic downturn, significant opportunities continue to
exist for composites in the global aerospace market. According to a new market
study aircraft production is expected to decline in 2009. However, composites
demand is expected to grow during next 10 years due to the need for high fuel
efficient, durable, and low maintenance aircraft. The report claims that the
total demand for composites in commercial aerospace, regional jets, defense,
general aviation, helicopter and other segments of aerospace market is expected
to be worth $35.8 billion during 2009 -2018.

The author has analyzed the global aerospace composites market to develop a
comprehensive research report entitled "Opportunities for Composites in the
Global Aerospace Market, 2009-2028".

In the aerospace market, commercial aerospace market will drive the growth of
composites demand due to new programs such as Boeing 787, Airbus 380 and Airbus
350, which has significant usage of composites. In the defense and general
aviation market as well there is increase in penetration of composite materials
but still the demand for composites is less in these markets as compared to
commercial aerospace market.

This study also reveals that while composite materials currently represent a
relatively small segment of the aerospace industry, enormous potential exists
for composite materials to become a more integral component within the industry
in the future. Although aluminum is currently the predominant material used in
the overall aerospace industry, aerospace companies are showing increased
interest in composite materials because of a desire for more fuel-efficient and
corrosive-resistant aircraft.

This research report contains the global aerospace market overview, materials
and manufacturing processes, competitive analysis, trends and forecast for
composites by market segments, drivers and challenges for composites and many
other insights, which can help you make confident business decisions in this
globally competitive marketplace.
