Abstract

The US aerospace and defense industry is a leading producer of hi-tech products and services and is characterized by a net export surplus. The industry is of strategic importance to the US government due to its direct bearing on national security and its sustained leadership in the global market. The industry in turn depends to a large extent on the US government for the bulk of its revenue. While the US aerospace and defense industry was significantly affected by the events of September 11, the market is finally on its way to recovery. While the commercial aircraft sector is still stabilizing at a slower rate, the defense and space sectors have recently seen a significant upturn in demand as a result of the global war on terrorism.

Michael Porter’s Five Forces model of Porter is an outside-in business unit strategy tool that is used to make an analysis of the attractiveness of an industry structure. This report utilizes this framework to perform a profit analysis on the Aerospace and Defense Industry in the United States.
