Global Aerospace and Defense Outlook

April 17, 2018

This report is based on a survey of 76 senior aerospace and defense (A&D) executives conducted in early 2016 by Forbes Insights. Approximately half of respondents are based in Europe, while 21 percent are based in the Americas. Almost one-third of respondents represent companies with annual global revenues of more than US$5 billion and 8 percent represent organizations with revenues of more than US$25 billion. To support the survey data, KPMG International conducted a series of interviews with leading A&D manufacturers around the world. Their experiences, combined with insights from KPMG professionals around the world, provide valuable context for today’s manufacturers.
