A new report highlights growth trends in the aerospace, defense and government services sectors

“With the proliferation of technology-enabled capabilities and services, as well as rising geopolitical tensions, global military spending is rising across sectors, and many private investors see space as the next horizon of digital warfare,” he said. William Farmer, Managing Director and Chief Banker of BGL’s Aerospace, Defense and Government Services team. “These trends will continue to create new market leaders and drive consolidation as companies seek to achieve economies of scale and attract additional capital seeking to locate in the space.”

The ADGS market will continue to experience growth in 2024 driven by commercial aviation, geopolitical instability and continued emphasis on digital transformation and technology innovation. In the report, BGL examines several key themes and trends that are driving market development and transaction activity.

Key takeaways include: :

• Why are commercial air travel trends and backlogs driving growth in the aviation sector and drivers of aftermarket demand?
• Why defense spending is rising and the areas of focus that enable the growth of technology-enabled services
• How technology adoption plays a key role in advancing government initiatives to maintain competitive advantage
• Where are investors directing capital inflows and which sectors are seeing an increase in large-scale acquisitions

M&A volume is expected to rebound in 2024, with acquisition activity off to a strong start in the first quarter as deal activity reflects continued emphasis on advanced technologies and next-generation capabilities. Capital inflows and market fragmentation will drive deal flow, and the middle market will be ripe for consolidation.
