WHAT IS THE STUDY ABOUT?
>Roland Berger conducted a study about the global aerostructures tooling equipment market based on extensive desk research and expert interviews as well as bottom-up market modeling along the value chain
>In 2012, relevant market expected to reach all-time peak of USD 1.4 bn stimulated by A350 and B787 programs
>However, in 2020, market downturn by 75% to USD ~400 m expected due to lack of new programs
>Consequently, installed capacity exceeds demand – Shift towards optimization/retrofit of existing equipment
>Service market share in 2020 of ~60% indicates need for full service offers, e.g. consulting or process optimization
>In addition, demand for simplified products and turnkey solutions at lower costs from emerging markets combined with upcoming local suppliers drive trend towards cost efficient standardization and modularization
>Overall, aerostructures tooling equipment industry expected to undergo industrialization – Reflected by automated processes, flexible production systems or other learnings from already industrialized industries
>Roland Berger expects that only two business models ensure a sustainable business
–Turn-key provider – Service-driven business model capitalizing on need for comprehensive turn-key solutions
–System optimizer – Focusing on in-depth know-how of single systems to optimize existing equipment
>Roland Berger experts have a proven track record in the aerostructures tooling equipment market and are ready to support you in securing your success and preparing for the upcoming future challenge
