The Market for Fighter Aircraft
Although many countries are cutting their defense budgets, the outlook for
fighters remains stable. Worldwide, industrialized nations are currently
in the process of a major re-equipment cycle, and the long-term nature of
fighter procurement programs will shelter production of these aircraft from the
effects of the financial crisis. This analysis covers the market for fighter
aircraft in terms of both units to be produced and the value of the overall
market. The market for jet trainers, some of which are also used as attack
aircraft, is covered in the Analysis titled "The Market for Military Fixed-Wing
Trainer Aircraft."
Only those fighters that are currently in development and production are
covered. The market for retrofits and upgrades to existing aircraft serving with
air forces around the world is covered in Forecast International's Airborne
Retrofit & Modernization Forecast
This Market Segment Analysis is extracted directly from our Military Aircraft
Forecast and is designed to provide insightful analysis of niche segments at economical prices. Clients receive the analysis in PDF format via email. The analysis includes 10-year detailed
