              Competitive Landscape Brief

              Demand is driven by the US military budget and the overall economic climate, which affects airline traffic and demand for new commercial aircraft. The profitability of individual companies depends on technical expertise and the ability to accurately price long-term contracts. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in design, manufacturing, and purchasing. Small companies can compete effectively by concentrating on selected components and parts manufacturing for particular prime contractors. Increasingly, small companies are developing system integration capabilities as large firms outsource more aspects of contracts. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $400,000. The US aerospace industry exports a significant portion of its output. The countries receiving the largest amount of US exports include France, the UK, China, Germany, and Canada. The US aerospace manufacturing industry faces increasing competition in global markets from state-supported firms such as Airbus, which is the primary competitor of Boeing for large commercial aircraft. Imports come largely from France, Canada, the UK, Japan, and Germany.
