Rapid changes in the aerospace and defense industry are creating new opportunities for companies willing to innovate and reposition themselves for the future.

BCG’s aerospace and defense consulting teams help companies adapt to these ever-evolving times.

Geopolitical uncertainty—typified by changing trade and diplomatic relationships—poses challenges and opportunities for aerospace and defense firms. Commercial aviation firms are struggling with massive backlogs and prices that are rising because of tariffs. And as defense budgets increase, legacy defense firms need to innovate with new technologies—like affordable mass—and business models to compete with disruptive defense tech startups.

For companies that operate in both segments, the challenge is to foster innovation, maintain operational excellence, and strengthen their financial position amid this change.
