U.S. Industrial Base in Hypersonic Mode to Enhance Defense Production Amid Strategic Rivalry with China
The 2025 Strategy Playbooks report explores strategies by the top seven global Aerospace and Defense (A&D) companies as they navigate a challenging macroeconomic scenario marked by a 7% annual increase in defense spending. Global defense spending in 2024 neared $2.5 trillion due to escalating geopolitical tensions and shifting alliances under the Trump Administration's return, which heightened global demand for advanced defense systems.
Many regions are focused on rejuvenating their defense bases to increase production of core weapons systems, as outdated Cold War-era systems are upgraded or replaced. Notably, programs such as FCAS, GCAP, and MGCS across Europe exemplify this. In Asia-Pacific, China's military advancements, including the J-20 jets and the upcoming H-20 bomber, present substantial challenges to U.S. air supremacy. In response, the U.S. defense sector is developing high-tech solutions like the B-21 Raider and Future Vertical Lift (FVL) programs. While 2025's easing inflation and supply chain recovery benefit the global economy, tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East, together with a rebirth of trade wars, threaten economic stability. Despite these challenges, the global economy is expected to remain steady at a 3.7% growth rate.
