The Aerospace & Defence Research Team
This vertical is covered by a dedicated research group inside Fundamental Business Insights that tracks the global aerospace, defense, and space industry full-time. Our analysts follow fleet orders, procurement programs, export-control developments, defense budgets, and evolving platform requirements as they happen — not just at the point a report is commissioned.
Every estimate in this vertical is built from primary conversations with OEMs, tier-1 suppliers, airlines, and defense procurement stakeholders, and cross-checked against government budget disclosures, regulatory filings, program contracts, and international standards bodies, then reconciled through both bottom-up and top-down modeling before an internal quality review.
Who we interview
OEM program leads, defense procurement officers, airline fleet planners, and Tier-1/Tier-2 supplier executives.
Regulatory fluency
Analysts track FAA, EASA, ICAO, and export-control regimes so platform and program forecasts reflect real timelines.
Program & budget modeling
Forecasts factor in defense budget cycles and procurement programs, not just technology adoption curves.
