The opportunities and challenges for the Aerospace sector



The next decade will be one of both great opportunity and significant challenge for the aerospace sector. The sustainability imperative is impelling the entire industry to rethink the way they work in every segment. 
  • In the new space era, technologies are being developed that were once unthinkable – from reusable launchers to robots exploring other planets.
  • In urban mobility, a transport revolution is already on the horizon, with electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) expected to be seen flying above cities by 2030.1
  • In commercial aviation, new lower and zero carbon aircraft are coming to life using revolutionary modes of propulsion such as hydrogen.

At the same time, demand for air travel is expected to boom, with the number of global air passengers projected to nearly double over the next 20 years.2

There has never been a more pressing need to deliver innovation, meet market demand now, and plan for a more sustainable future that continues to connect people, places and markets around the globe.
