    Global Market for Original Design Manufacturing to Reach 1.1 Billion by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.











    San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 12, 2011

    The manufacturing culture has evolved over the decades, from centralized production to gradual decentralization and disintegration of vertical manufacturing processes. Strategic outsourcing has diversified supply chain functions in line with the concept’s evolution from outsourcing parts and components to ideas. This outsourcing of research and design ideas have brought into the spotlight original design manufacturers (ODM). Manufacturing systems revolving around design and production have splintered over the decades with design knowledge increasingly being outsourced to original design manufacturers (ODM). As a result there has been a steady rise in the OEM–ODM contracts. Numerous advantages, such as, improved lead times, access to broader design experience (i.e. architecture design, mechanical and electrical engineering), flexible system to accommodate design changes/modifications, among others have encouraged Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to gravitate towards ODMs.

    Given that fortunes in the ODM industry are closely tied to industrial, automotive and consumer electronics, wireless & wired communications, and data processing technologies, which have witnessed significant disruptions in business activity/prospects in 2008 & 2009 due to economic recession, the global Original Design Manufacturing market too suffered a major set back during the period. Bad economy and deteriorating business climate resulted in OEMs scaling back production as a knee jerk reaction to the soft business environment prevalent in most end-use sectors. Spooked by the financial crisis, lack of credit availability, and muted consumer demand for electronic products such as, personal computers, and cellphones, manufacturers reined in capital spending. Cut backs on consumer device manufacturing capacity expansion, reduced capacity utilization and closure of plants, directly sliced through ODM revenues. In the IT industry, including networking and servers & storage, reduced corporate/enterprise IT budgets, as a result of poor financial strength displaced ODM opportunities at large. The manufacturing sector additionally has been the worst hit by the recession with the slowing down of economic activity including reduced manufacturing and commercial activity impacting industrial production.

    Reduced capacity utilization, and excess capacity at OEMs resulted in OEMs resorting to in-house design and development this reducing business orders for ODMs. The telecommunication industry, like all other industry was also acutely impacted by the crisis. The unusually pronounced length, breath, depth and magnitude of the recession has taken a large bite out of carriers’ revenues, and profitability. Decline in consumer usage of telecommunication services, lower levels of new subscriber additions, falling average revenue per user, traffic reductions have distorted the business climate over the last two years. Additionally, drying up of the debt market and the resulting shortages in capital investments, played instrumental roles in derailing network coverage expansion, and upgradation schedules. The gloomy business environment in the telecommunication industry has had a trickle down impact on telecommunication equipment and on the OEM activities in this space. ODMs as a result witnessed hurting fall in order inflows during the period 2009.

    With recession now having played out its part in full proportions and the manufacturing activity in most of the industry segments having hitting rock bottom, the worst is now over for ODMs, as evident by the improvement in its revenue growth during 2010. A quick resurgence in growth fundamentals post recession, such as recovery in GDP growth, improvement in consumer demand for end-products and subsequent rise in production at OEM level, and general increase in business confidence, will help drive increased ODM contracts over the next few years. Stimulus packages offered by governments across the globe to infuse vigor in the ailing manufacturing sector will additionally drive increased production, thereby creating opportunities for ODMs. With companies waking up to the fact that undeterred focus on long-term plans is critical in warding off the impact of the economic slowdown, creative designs, new product form factors, and technology specifications will continue to come to the market across different product segments, thus creating the need for ODM services. Digital consumer electronics products in particular is forecast to witness innovation in form factors in the upcoming years and this thereby bodes well for ODMs, who can expect new design orders to come their way. Efforts by OEMs to leverage ODM services to tap low cost product markets in emerging countries and simultaneously maintain competitiveness and profitability, also bodes well for the future of the ODM market.

    As stated by the new market research report on Original Design Manufacturing, Asia-Pacific remains the most prominent regional market for original design manufacturing services, having a stranglehold on the global market. Growth in the Asia-Pacific market is especially driven by the robust production scenario in the region, particularly Taiwan and China, thanks to increasing demand for electronic peripherals, computers, networking and telecommunication equipment in the region.

          San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 23, 2011

          Pipes, primarily used to transport liquid and gaseous substances, are an indispensable part of water and oil related industries. Market for pipes and pipe/hose fittings is highly variable and dependent on factors, such as economic conditions, growth in GDP, consumer purchasing power, and the overall health of the end-user industries. The protracted economic downturn and credit crisis combined with volatility in raw material prices has caused weak demand, and a substantial fall of volume and dollar sales in the pipe industry. Weakened consumer demand from housing and construction, oil and gas, automotive sector, sewage, drinking water, agriculture, industrial equipment and machinery, and energy markets, negatively impacted the market during the years 2008 & 2009. The construction industry, which represents a major high volume end-user of pipes, was one of the first sectors to be hit by the downturn due to lower demand for distribution and general construction pipes for non-residential/ residential buildings, and civil engineering sector. The mélange of factors such as reduced household wealth, lower consumer purchasing power, declining new housing starts, steep deceleration in housing demand and rising inventory of unsold new, and existing homes caused a sharp decline in demand for building materials, such as pipes and pipe hoses. Also, governments across the world delayed capital expenditure, and several new public works projects and infrastructure spending have been put on hold, causing a knock-on effect on the pipe and pipe hose industry.

          The recession also made a disproportionate impact on industrial production as a result of reduced manufacturing, commercial, and economic activity, thereby hurting demand from oil & gas segment, city gas pipe projects, irrigation, water & sewage, and replacement demand. In the field of energy industry, a severe pull back in exploration activity was witnessed due to persistently weak global economic environment drying up of the debt market and the resulting shortages in capital investments, and recession-induced lower demand for mineral commodities. New oil & gas exploration and production projects worldwide were postponed due to fall in global commodity prices, resulting into reduced orders.

          The weak global economy, sluggish residential/commercial construction, and falling GDP levels, meant that most pipe companies posted sluggish results for the year 2010. As stated by the new market research report, Europe and Asia-Pacific account for a major share of the global Pipes and Pipe/Hose Fittings market. Even as the ongoing recessionary trends in the world economy works as a dampener on the pipes market in the short-term, growth is forecast to pick up in the medium term as the economy recovers from its present crisis. Growth fundamentals such as, the escalating energy requirements demand due to population increases, rising stress on water supplies, and mounting interest in producing lead-free pipes are all forecast to swing back into action, driving growth in the post recession period.

          With signs of stronger economic conditions, shriveling inventories, and price hikes, the pipe industry is expected to look up with the resumption of normalcy beginning from 2011. The emerging economies will be the critical factor in driving world pipe and pipe/hose fittings demand in the post recession period. Asia-Pacific is the largest and fastest market for pipes increasing at a CAGR of 4.6% during the analysis period. Worldwide pipe companies are eyeing the lucrative market of the Middle East where, the energy and construction sector, the main pipe consumers, holds out the promise of good business despite a slight weakening caused by the global financial meltdown. Advancements in drinking water transfer systems, and sewage and drainage systems are expected to drive the market for plastic pipes.

The wide range of themes and choices enable consumers to choose fragrances that complement respective personal, and characteristic traits. Economic prosperity in growing markets, together with increased demand for youth-oriented fragrances and celebrity scents that are largely recognized in developed and maturing markets are expected to drive the global fragrance market growth. Dictated by the fickle trends of haute fashion, the world of fragrances and perfumes is beginning to witness the entry of new apparel designers, and pop, music, and movie superstars making a dent on the market. The fragrance industry is primarily consumer driven. Consumers have a unique cultural attitude to “fragrance” and an uncritical concept of possessing a certain kind of identity through wearing fragrance Although a growing market, the global fragrances and perfumes industry does not reflect consistent growth across geographic regions. Fragrances and perfumes in some countries are aspirational purchases, and are influenced by demographic perception of style, luxury and status/prestige. Sales of fragrances, and perfumes are driven by the strength of big name endorsements. Demand for celebrity inspired scents shows no signs of abating, thanks to the increasing number of celebrity fragrances hovering in the market.

            Currently on the global radar are low penetration markets such as China, and Japan, where huge untapped opportunities are the focus of large international players. Fine fragrances market is increasingly looking at the teenage segment as a potential growth market. Women’s fragrances continue to dominate the market, with maximum number of product launches and innovations aimed at the fairer sex. The scenario is however set to change with men’s fragrance segment beginning to witness strong growth patterns, as the importance of grooming tops the list of men’s priorities. Typically, the men’s market was confined to the after-shave fragrances, but today the cards are being turned and men’s fragrances for specific occasions are witnessing huge growth, holding the promise of emerging into a mainstay market. Custom fragrance is an emerging segment with significant growth potential. Competition in the custom fragrance market grew intense due to increasing consumer preference for personalization and growing popularity of the Internet.

            The global fragrances and perfumes market was not deeply impacted by the global recession, witnessing average sales pattern during the period 2008-09. The market in developed countries were recording average to downright poor sales even before the onset of the economic crisis. As a result, the financial crunch that followed the recession only led to a further worsening of the scenario, as evidenced by retail de-stocking and decline in consumer spending. Europe performed marginally better than North America in terms of sell-through, although manufacturers as well as suppliers suffered due to a decline in inventory by the retailers. However, stable growth in emerging markets of Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Eastern Europe, provided a boost to the global fragrance market. The economic downturn spurred the demand for perfumes that offer nostalgia and comfort such as strong floral scents of violet and rose, which performed particularly well during the period. The niche segments of luxury as well as custom fragrances remained more or less unaffected by the recession and continued to show marginal growth in sales.

            Europe represents the largest worldwide market for fragrances and perfumes, as stated by the new research report on Fragrances and Perfumes.European consumers rank among the finest of connoisseurs of fragrances and perfumes. Carrying out their legacy, European companies continue to dominate the global market and produce majority of the world’s most desirable brands. In terms of market potential, the Middle East market is projected to forge ahead at the fastest compounded annual rate of over 5.0% over the analysis period. Several of Middle East’s local favorites such as deep, strong and silky notes of musks, ouds, sandalwoods and ambers, and the exotic, oriental perfumes are already making a comeback in the western market. By segment, Men’s Fragrances and Perfumes is forecast to take market growth to the next level, expanding at a high CAGR of over 2.5% through 2015. In contrast, the traditionally strong Women’s Fragrances and Perfumes segment continues to remain the market favorite, garnering a large share of world market.

              San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 15, 2011

              The intimate apparel market is driven mainly by style, and fashion with equal importance accorded to comfort, and novelty. The industry is marked by new fabric developments, and innovations in prettier, and more comfortable garment designs. The growing trend towards innerwear worn as outerwear has been richly beneficial to the lingerie market. The introduction of camisoles in trendy colors and T-shirts with built-in bras bear testimony to these trends. The market nevertheless is confronted with a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. For instance, fierce competition has resulted in falling prices and a threatening shift of production to low-cost countries. In developed countries, aging population is pushing down growth opportunities. On the other hand, developing regions, hold immense potential for future growth, given their favorable demographics, rising standards of living, growing affluence and widespread adoption of Western lifestyles. Manufacturers are therefore fast expanding their business operations into South America, Central Europe and Asia. The lingerie market is in a state of transition, as both global brands and private-labels are re-assessing their respective market positions. Consumers in this segment generally tend to purchase more than necessary. Impulse purchases are rampant, and purchase decisions are typically based on feel-good factors, instincts, style and fitting rather than sheer necessity.

              Ever changing consumer lifestyles, latest trends in fashion and style and innovations in fabric usage are the major factors driving the market for knit underwear and nightwear. Product markets expected to score the maximum gains in the upcoming years include seamless intimates such as seamless bras and panties, given consumer’s desire for seamless and imperceptible undergarments. Demand for plus-size inner wear is rapidly expanding in Western markets. Stores now offer suitable lingerie to customers who earlier depended on specialists for customized innerwear clothing.

              Akin to several other industries, the global economic crisis affected the world market for knit underwear and nightwear during the years 2008 and 2009. Mature, developed market of North America, Europe and Japan bore the maximum brunt of the economic instability, with sales slipping during the period. In contrast, the developing economies brushed past with marginal losses in sales. Surprisingly, the children’s wear market witnessed the largest erosion in 2009 followed by the men’s wear, with the market largely remaining afloat due to optimistic outlook in women’s wear clothing. Nevertheless on the whole, the niche underwear and sleepwear market was more resilient to the economic crisis than the larger clothing industry and rebounded back on growth track by the year 2010, although at a slow rate of growth. Some of the notable changes the industry witnessed during the recessionary years included the influx of several retailers rendering the market more fragmented; market polarization of the luxury segment and increased popularity of the concepts ‘exact fit’ and value-for-money. The economic crisis considerably narrowed down the gap between the upper and lower end of the market as style differentiation almost vanished.

              Europe dominates as the single largest regional market for knit underwear and nightwear, as stated by the new research report on Knit Underwear and Nightwear. The US and Asia-Pacific are the other two significant markets, trailing at a distance behind Europe. The three markets capturing a considerable share of the global market, literally set the rules and market direction. The Asia-Pacific market remained buoyant even during the economic recession, and supported by rapid growth from markets of China, India, Korea, Indonesia and Taiwan among others, is projected to register the overall fastest CAGR through 2015. By product segment, the global women’s knit underwear and nightwear market is considered the most vibrant and dynamic, carrying the growth ahead even when sales in other segments plummeted. In the near term too, the segment is forecast to sail ahead at the fastest compounded annual rate through 2015.

              The global Knit Underwear and Nightwear market is highly competitive and fragmented, with no single dominant player in the market for any national or worldwide brand. The market is characterized by the presence of numerous large and medium players vying fiercely for a share of the pie. Private label players also enjoy considerable clout in the market. Key participants profiled in the report include Benetton Group S.p.A, Bella Di Notte S.L, Berkshire Hathaway, Fruit of the Loom Inc., Cia Hering, Calvin Klein Inc., Delta Galil Industries Ltd, Donna Karan International Inc, Gunze Ltd, Jockey International Inc., Joe Boxer, Maidenform Brands Inc, The Bali Company, Triumph International, Tefron Ltd, Warnaco Group Inc, Wacoal Holdings Corp, and Wacoal America Inc, among others.

                San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 16, 2011

                Paucity of time, life style changes and the convenience factor are bringing to fore the time-elevating advantages of snack foods and supporting the continuous demand increase for the industry. Impressive gains were recorded not only in the seemingly matured US and Europe but also in the growing regions of Asia-Pacific and Latin America. With globalization of brands and products, consumers in the developing world have caught up with their western counterparts. The wide palate of snack foods caters to different taste buds with a host of flavors. Spanning from no/low fat variety to high calories/protein content, the range of snack foods quells the hunger of consumers with different health requirements. Easy on-the-go portable packages, such as stand-up pouches, single-serve/ bite-sized packs, resealable bags, and finger-hugging canisters, which add a new dimension to the concept of added convenience, is expected to emerge as a major product variable for commercial success.

                The fast fading line between meals and snacks is churning out additional opportunities for snacking. Health-driven snackers are setting into motion strong demand for healthy, low fat, low-calorie, organic, fiber-rich and vitamin and mineral fortified snacks, while carefree snackers are igniting demand for diverse taste and flavor profiles to quench their indulgent cravings. With obesity percentages alarmingly increasing, particularly in developed nations, health concerning issues are rising in the snack foods market with consumers, and manufacturers playing the blame game as they pass the buck of responsibility between them. Food marketers with global profiles have begun hitting back by significantly lowering the fat content in their product offerings, hoping to deflect the heat caused by the “Obesity Epidemic”. Continuous innovations in flavors, and tastes, especially exotic, and sophisticated flavors, are expected to help the market score huge gains in the upcoming years as, recession or not, consumers never comprise on taste and flavor. With a growing percentage of the global population in both developed and developing countries, eating fewer full meals and indulging more on snacks, the sector is encroaching the territory of convenient breakfast and dinner solutions.

                Fruit snacks and nuts are expected to achieve further sophistication and improve market share, which could be mainly attributed to their inherent health benefits. The wholesomeness of nuts, which are rich in unsaturated fats, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids is expected to spruce up market opportunities in the Snack Nuts category of salted snacks. In addition, the rise in popularity of protein-rich diets is expected to take demand for meat-based snacks to a new high. Stringent regulations over labeling of trans-fat content in packaged foods in the developed markets are additionally expected to drive the popularity of TFA (trans-fatty acids) free snack products. Lately, due to health reasons, consumers are favoring savory snacks with lesser amounts of salt in them. Producers have taken up the initiative for lowering sodium content in products through salt-reduction technologies at the manufacturing level. Healthy cereal bars, which fall under the category of alternative snacks, are also luring more and more consumers. This inexpensive alternative for a meal is witnessing increasing number of takers as its healthy positioning continues to entice consumers. The marketplace also holds tremendous potential for gluten-free products.

                The global economic crisis of 2008-09 can be construed as causing minimum harm to the market for snack foods. Even through the years 2008 and 2009, where in the impact of recession was believed to be the maximum, the market for snack foods continued to grow, although at a reduced pace. Markets worldwide witnessed a quick rebound in 2010 resuming near normal, pre-crisis level growth rates. Robust growth rates, even higher than those in pre-crisis years, are also forecast in the near term as the market gears up for full-scale expansion. Strong dollar growth is expected to stem from the snack nuts and tortilla & corn chips snacks markets, with Asia-Pacific and Latin American regions leading the growth, with rates averaging at 6%-7% for both the segments over the analysis period. Potato chips, tortilla & corn chips and meat snacks represent the largest selling product segments within the salted snacks product group.

                Europe, powered by demand from major markets such as UK, Germany, France, Spain and Russia among others represents the largest market for snack foods, in value terms, as stated by the new research report on Snack Foods. The US and Latin America trail behind as the other significant markets, capturing a consolidated sizeable chunk of the global snack foods market. However, in terms of growth prospects, Asia-Pacific region is slated to charge ahead with the overall fastest compounded annual growth rate of about 6.0% through 2015. By product group, Bakery Snacks represents the largest product segment. The Salted Snacks category assumes special importance not only in terms of large market standing, but also the potential to advance market growth at the highest rate of about 6.0% over the analysis period.

                The snack foods market is highly fragmented with several hundreds of large, medium and small players dotting the industry landscape. Competition is intensely fierce, with smaller players struggling to coexist with the large multinationals who literally dominate market dynamics. The snack foods market is also characterized by the presence of global and regional level private label players.

                  San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 14, 2011

                  Network security and risk management are playing a pivotal role in today’s organizations, which in turn has resulted in the emergence of managed security services market globally to manage security and network threats. Increasing complexity of the attacks from hackers is forcing companies to keep consistently upgrade their security systems. As a result, companies are turning to specialized service providers in order to manage the network security concerns. Managed security services represents a rapidly developing market driven by the growing ubiquity of the Internet in the organization and the growing requirement by companies to maintain and track e-mails, network logs and other data. In addition, with significant cost reductions in the MSS sector due to the use of hosted security systems, there is an increasing adoption of MSS by small and medium businesses (SMBs). In future, the MSS market is likely to expand from managing and maintaining firewalls and anti-viruses to include a comprehensive crisis management program.

                  The MSS market is not completely immune from the vagaries and effects of recession and witnessed a dip in growth rates from 2008 onwards. However, the market managed to report positive performance buoyed by enterprise efforts in curtailing costs during the recession. More and more organizations shifted from self-maintained security solutions towards managed security service providers (MSSPs) in order to cut costs as well as to free organizational resources for running the core operations. Emergence and growing popularity of next generation services such as SaaS and hosted services such as cloud computing are reducing both the upfront capital expenditure as well as the operating costs, thereby leading to higher adoption of MSS. Moreover, customers perception of greater ID thefts and frauds during the recession also played a part in organizations availing sophisticated security systems from expert companies.

                  Asia-Pacific is likely to forge ahead as the largest MSS market with developing countries such as China and India at the vanguard of growth, as stated by the new market research report on Managed Security Services. North America represents the largest market for MSS. Among the various service segments, IDS/IPS represents the largest as well as the fastest growing market. Within the IDS/IPS segment, the industry is witnessing a shift in technology towards intrusion prevention systems (IPS) from the conventional intrusion detection systems.

                  In the North American MSS market, financial sector accounts for the largest share of the managed security service revenues with legislations fostering the need for greater information security and compliance. North America represents the largest market for Firewall/VPN services. The average European MSS contract size is higher in value as compared to those in North America and Asia-Pacific. IT infrastructure as well as communications service providers dominate the European MSS market, while security specialists hold a niche.

                  The global MSS landscape presents a highly fragmented and competitive picture. The market comprises players from diverse backgrounds, ranging from pure play specialized MSSPs to telcos, system integrators and value-added resellers, IT outsourcing companies, and security product vendors. Telcos form the fastest growing segment of MSS providers and are expected to fundamentally alter the market landscape in the future by leveraging their existing large customer base to lower the costs through economies of scale. Large IT infrastructure players as well as telcos are increasingly acquiring standalone pure play MSSPs, which is resulting in the presence of fewer standalone MSSPs. Major MSS players profiled in the report include AT&T, Avaya, Check Point Software Technologies, Cisco Systems, Fortinet Inc, IBM-ISS, Juniper Networks, McAfee, Inc., Nortel Networks, Qualys, SonicWALL, Symantec, UBIqube Solutions, Unisys Corporation, VeriSign and WatchGuard Technologies Inc among others.

                  The research report titled “Managed Security Services: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of the recent market trends, issues, drivers, company profiles, mergers, acquisitions and other strategic industry activities.

                    San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 14, 2011

                    Aircraft manufacturing industry worldwide is largely dependent on the health of the aerospace and defense industry. Economic cycles and fluctuations in economic growth tend to directly influence the market, given the growing importance and clout of the civil aircraft sector in several regional markets worldwide. Typically, demand for large passenger aircrafts is directly proportional to the demand for passenger travel, which in turn depends heavily on a country’s GDP, and rate of economic growth. Aircraft manufacturing for the defense sector, on the other hand, is influenced by government funding for aeronautical research and development. The aerospace industry, over the years, has witnessed its fair share of trials and tribulations, which began with the 9/11 terrorist attack, political and military conflicts, fuel price volatility, SARS scare in and around the ASEAN region and China, all of which disrupted the global travel industry. The period witnessed bankruptcies of numerous airline operators, followed by a string of consolidation/mergers/acquisitions, as companies attempted to streamline processes, reduce operating costs and achieve flexibility to survive the rough business climate. The industry again hit a speed-breaker manifested in the form of the 2007-2009 world economic recession, which significantly affected the transportation industry.

                    The slowdown in tourism as a result of the financial crisis led world economic recession has had a negative impact on market prospects for aircraft manufacturing. Tourism industry, which is largely upheld by the level of consumer confidence, took a hurting blow as consumer confidence and sentiments weakened across the globe. Rising levels of unemployment, reduction in household wealth, loss of corporate travel coverage/allowances, falling disposable incomes have together led to a sharp decline in travel and tourism across the world. Global air travel, especially, took the deepest dive with airline traffic volumes shrinking considerably as reflected by the reductions in air passenger traffic, large-scale cancellation of flights, reduced number of flight trips, and reductions in airline fleet/passenger capacity. For instance, airline operators in a desperate bid to survive the harsh economic realities pruned down passenger capacity, leading to a global reduction in the same by 2% in the year 2009. Additionally, tight corporate budgets and liquidity concerns resulted in companies halving expenditures on business travels. Against the backdrop of a fiscal climate strained by deficit, orders for corporate aircraft manufacturing declined perceptibly. The belt tightening measures adopted by cash starved companies has brought luxury air travel to an abrupt end. The trend is mirrored in the steep slump in corporate jet travel.

                    Although luxury is widely touted as a habit difficult to break, the prolonged severity of the current economic slowdown has elicited declines in spending and the low tide has stranded growth with wealthy consumers gradually cutting back on lavish, luxury lifestyles. The erosion in personal wealth and scale back on spending by High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) has hurt the market for private aircrafts. The deterioration in general global trade conditions and the ensuing collapse of regional export markets critically distorted air cargo/freight traffic, thus temporarily reducing the need for expanding global air freighter fleet, and as a result impacted production of air cargo crafts. Airfreight declined largely as a result of companies turning defensive against the economic climate by reducing inventories to maintain lean stock and eliminate inventory pile-up. Post recession however, the need to replenish inventories will emerge and the ensuing restocking will drive up airfreight volumes. All of the aforementioned factors that brought down the travel, tourism, and trade industries played instrumental roles in inducing broad based declines in demand for new aircrafts, triggering declines in production and shipments of passenger and cargo aircrafts and aircraft parts and components like engines. Cancellation of new aircraft orders, postponement of new aircraft deliveries, and rise in the number of parked airplanes crippled manufacturing activities across the world.

                    As stated by the new market research report, Europe and United States together account for a major share of the global Aircraft, Engines, Parts and Equipment market. The emerging economies will be the critical factor in driving growth in the market in the post recession period. Countries such as India, China, and Africa offer immense opportunities fuelled by population growth, rising urbanization, economic growth, increasing cargo and passenger hubs, deregulation, launch of low-cost carriers and inter-regional trade. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing market for general aviation aircraft increasing at a CAGR of 3.6% during the analysis period. The civil/commercial UAS (unmanned aerial systems) sector will experience subdued growth in post recession period with most companies pinned down by lack of civil regulations for certification & operation in the national air space. Efforts of European civil aviation authorities, and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to rationalize civil certification procedures will be key for future growth.
