FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS The aerospace & defense market will be analyzed taking manufacturers of aerospace and defense equipment, products and systems as players. The key buyers will be taken as government organizations, the military, airline companies and space programs such as NASA, and entities providing raw materials and parts for manufacture as the key suppliers.

Summary Figure 5:

Forces driving competition in the aerospace & defense sector in France, 2010

Source: Datamonitor

DATAMONITOR

Rivalry within the Aerospace and Defense market is strong with large organizations competing intensely for government and commercial contracts. Players within the aerospace and defense market are generally large, integrated multinational companies, not least because acquisitions have become an increasing trend within the market. This scale makes it difficult for new companies wanting to enter the market in a significant way, a problem further exacerbated by the high capital outlay and expertise needed for market success to be achieved. This capital outlay places such players in a powerful position providing them with strong bargaining power with buyers and suppliers. However, the financial muscle of typical buyers - particularly governments -dilutes this to some extent. Furthermore, despite suppliers' smaller scale relative to market players, high quality inputs are very important to the manufacturers' businesses, strengthening supplier power in the supply chain.

FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

Buyer power Figure 6:

Drivers of buyer power in the aerospace & defense sector in France, 2010

Source: Datamonitor

DATAMONITOR

In the commercial aircraft sector, two companies, Boeing and Airbus, hold a near-duopoly. As a result, buyers’ choice is limited. The two companies often produce slightly differentiated offerings instead of competing head to head. Although more manufacturers within other aerospace and defense sectors, consolidation has led to increasingly smaller numbers of players. The large size of these competitors, due to past merger activity, means they have potentially strong bargaining power with buyers. However buyers in the defense segment have considerable financial muscle, as they are nearly always government organizations. This power is diluted somewhat as aerospace and defense products and systems are highly important to buyers. Companies like Lockheed Martin not only provide military aircraft and hardware like missiles, but also cater for the repair and logistics needs of their buyers, which increases switching costs and decreases buyer power. Manufacturers are able differentiate their products through innovation which weakens buyer power further. Overall buyer power is moderate.

FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

Supplier power Figure 7:

Drivers of supplier power in the aerospace & defense sector in France, 2010

Source: Datamonitor

DATAMONITOR

Suppliers within the aerospace and defense market are entities providing raw materials and components for manufacture of aerospace and defense equipment. The quality and availability of these inputs is highly important to the quality of the end-products in the aerospace and defense industry, increasing the power of suppliers. In the post-recession years commodity prices still remain high which has impacted company margins and increased oil prices have had a particularly negative effect on the aerospace sector. This had led to companies investing in new technologies and engineering such as “green planes” which boast much higher fuel efficiencies i.e. the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Other primary raw materials used include metals such as aluminum and steel. As economies move out of recession and demand for aerospace and defense products rises, players will be aware that their input prices are also likely to start rising. Suppliers often provide to a wide range of industries such as automotive and rail, and this reduces their dependence on the aerospace and defense industries. However, there are also a large number of suppliers to choose from which increases players' choice and bargaining power. Supplier power is moderate overall.

FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

New entrants Figure 8:

Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the aerospace & defense sector in France, 2010

Source: Datamonitor

DATAMONITOR

Most prospective players need to enter the market as large-scale, integrated companies in order to effectively compete against incumbents; most of them are long-established and have very strong brands. The business model typical for this market also requires large amounts of expenditure in terms of materials needed, storage and transportation modes and so on. Expertise and knowledge is crucial to the success of companies, as the work is highly specialized. The arms industry has become increasingly concentrated, both on national as well as international level. Companies in the industry are obliged to adhere to strict regulations involving national security, export restrictions and licensing for military goods, accounting rules and safety requirements. Furthermore, increasing fears about global warming are leading to a focus on reducing emissions, with many firms having to re-design and adjust the way they manufacture products to improve fuel efficiency. Successful entry to the market may be more likely to be achieved if an existing company with similar operations (i.e. engineering) diversifies into the market. Recent contraction in market value may tend to discourage newcomers; however, the growth prognoses are optimistic which may boots this threat in future. Overall the threat of new entrants is weak.

Substitutes Figure 9:

Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the aerospace & defense sector in France, 2010

Source: Datamonitor

DATAMONITOR

There are no real substitutes to the manufacture of defense systems; however, there are alternatives to commercial aircraft. End-users of air transportation (passengers and companies wishing to transport their goods as air freight) may opt for alternative modes of transport, such as rail. In the short term the substitution of other modes of transport for air travel seems unlikely, but with increasing fears about global warming and carbon footprints, it is possible that alternative modes of transport may become attractive to companies seeking an eco-friendly reputation. In these circumstances, players in the civil aerospace sector may experience the pull-through of such changes in demand. Overall, the threat of substitutes is weak.

Rivalry Figure 10: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the aerospace & defense sector in France, 2010

Source: Datamonitor

DATAMONITOR

This is a market dominated by large multinationals that are highly diversified in terms of both the products they manufacture and their geographical presence. This protects from any unreliability in particular markets, and thus eases rivalry. The duopoly of the commercial aircraft market means that Boeing and Airbus each face the other as their sole rival, but they are quite evenly matched. Factors such as the rising threat of global terrorism have led to the defense sector being the most lucrative, with the market growing steadily. The existence of less technologically and militarily developed nations worldwide has given defense firms the opportunity to provide services for huge sums like European Aeronautic Defence and Space – Defence & Security company (EADS DS) which won a contract in 2009 to protect Saudi borders for $2.8 billion. In contrast, civil aerospace has experienced downturns with loss-making airlines less able to countenance high capital expenditure on new planes, and making the market less lucrative. In 2010 both Boeing and Airbus announced the loss of orders for dozens of planes from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise. Competition is also intense in terms of winning defense contracts and companies use innovation and new technology to differentiate their service. Rivalry in this market is strong.
