“With the proliferation of technology-driven capabilities and services as well as rising geopolitical tensions, global military spending is expanding across sectors, and many private investors are viewing the space as the next horizon of digital warfare,” said William Farmer, Managing Director and lead banker for the Aerospace, Defense & Government Services team at BGL. “These trends will continue to create new market leaders and propel consolidation as companies aim to achieve economies of scale and attract additional capital looking to be deployed in the space.”
The ADGS market will continue to see growth into 2024 driven by commercial aviation, geopolitical instability, and the continued push of digital transformation and technology innovation. In the report, BGL explores several key themes and trends that are driving market growth and transaction activity.
Key takeaways include:
- Why trends in commercial air travel and backlogs are propelling growth in the aerospace sector and the drivers of aftermarket demand
- Why defense spending is growing and the areas of focus that are allowing tech-enabled services to thrive
- How technology adoption is playing a critical role in advancing government initiatives to sustain competitive advantage
- Where investors are directing capital inflows and which sectors are seeing outsized acquisition growth
M&A volume is expected to rebound in 2024 with acquisition activity off to a strong start in the first quarter as transaction activity reflects the continuing emphasis on high-tech and next-generation capabilities. Capital inflows and market fragmentation will fuel deal flow with the middle market ripe for consolidation.
