The CEO 360 Degree Perspective Industry - Where on the Resilience Meter?
 

Marko Lukovic, Defense Principal Consultant, Frost & Sullivan

Economic uncertainty has impacted and stalled the growth trajectory across Commercial Aviation, Defense, and Civil Security markets and sub-segments to varying degrees. Realignment of end-user demand dynamics across the value chain requires a leaner, fitter and smarter market-focused business to continue to drive top-line growth and bottom-line profitability through the short- to medium-term uncertainty.

This presentation will review the short-, medium- and longer-term revenue growth prognosis across A&D markets and assess to what extent immediate and overdue retrofit/upgrade/replacement programs and macro security drivers will offset budgetary constraints to drive demand and revenue growth.

The focus will be on key geographic and application markets offering a greater level of resilience and revenue opportunity for market participants, and how A&D businesses can move to exploit partnership/acquisition opportunities to optimize and strengthen their portfolio to be ready in advance of the market up tick.
