In 1990 for every additional $100 million of output from the aircraft and aircraft parts industry, output in the rest of the Canadian economy increased by an estimated $46.7 million
$100 million increase in aircraft industry output generates approximately 1,185 new jobs throughout the Canadian economy
Input-Output Analysis
Industry generated revenues of $21.7 billion in 2004, of which 84 percent came from exports
Contributed $9.2 billion toward Canada's gross domestic product (GDP)(accounting for more than 5 percent of Canada's total manufacturing GDP)
The industry invested more than $1.2 billion on research and development (R&D) in 2004

Is the Canadian Aerospace industry profitable?
Revenues’ perspective:
Top 30 firms representing 95% of production
Bombardier represents about 45% of the industry's sales
Government is the main contractor for Space and Defence industries
Costs’ perspective:
Canada's defence-related research and development (R&D) is about $225 million

Compared to the manufacturing sector average,
Aerospace product and parts manufacturing value-added per employee was 24% higher
Average of 45 000 Canadians at wage levels that were 35% higher
Aerospace product and parts manufacturing: Employment Source: www.strategis.ic.gc.ca (Government of Canada)
Employment projections
The aerospace industry invested an average of $873 million annually in R&D between 1994 and 2003, representing an average of 8% of industry sales

Capital investment in Research and Development
High export intensity
70 percent of Canada's aerospace exports have gone to the US
annual exports averaged $8.9 billion
Positive average annual trade balance of $1.7 billion per year.
Trade and Competitiveness
Embraer (Brazil) vs. Bombardier (Canada):
Compete for niche markets (ex: Business jet) and rely on taxpayer subsidies such as government loan guarantees by using « dual-use » regulations.
Canada was granted authority to impose up to C$2.1 billion (U.S.$1.4 billion) in retaliation on Brazilian imports as a result of Brazil’s failure to comply with the August 1999 WTO ruling ( www.csis.org )
The WTO has also found Canada guilty of providing illegal subsidies to buyers of Bombardier jets ( www.csis.org )
Unfair competition for the regional jet market?
Embraer has taken advantage of low labor costs and cheap currency
Bombardier has easier access to First World financing and technology
-Maurício Botelho, Embraer’s CEO:
"The aerospace market right now is very sensitive to change."
-An industry advocacy group in Washington:
"Embraer is the risk-taking company that Bombardier used to be."

Trade dispute and Competitiveness
Canada’s Aerospace Industry
The industry is currently facing numerous challenges, business focuses are changing
Now these demands have forced companies to focus more on process and product technologies, in order to come up with savings in product development, manufacturing and after-sales support .
It used to be driven by technological innovation, but now customers are demanding high reductions in costs, while also demanding greater technological and operational sophistication.
Canadian Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
World leadership in key segments
Globally connected firms with world product mandates
Range of capabilities from OEM in-service support providers
Lucrative R&D incentives
Cost Advantage
Canadian Strengths and Weaknesses
Weaknesses
Fragmented supply base
Few proprietary capabilities at lower end of the supply chain
R&D concentrated in a few firms
Minimal domestic defense procurement and defense R&D leverage and spending
Government support programs are limited and inconsistent
Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities
Strong after sales capabilities
Supply chain productivity
Sales financing policies and instruments
Defense procurement policies are changing
Investment & risk-sharing tools
Public and political support
Opportunities and Challenges
Major challenges
Value of $CDN relative to other currencies, esp. USD
Access to civil programs driven by investment capacity; risk-share options
New sources of competition (e.g. China, Japan)
Porter’s Diamond
Rivalry:
Industry is becoming more and more dominated by big players.
As costs increases SMEs are less able to compete.
Factor Conditions:
“ Brain Drain”. Shortage of skilled workers, especially educated ones.
Good technological infrastructure.
R&D needs improvement.
Porter’s Diamond
Demand:
Defense industry demand is low.
Demand is more external than internal.
Related and Supporting Industries.
Large number of SMEs surrounding large companies provide support to them.
Government plays role in providing environment for supporting industries.

Going Forward
Short-term emerging trends:
Differences among product market segments
Pacific market will exceed the U.S. and European markets, account for 1/3 of total value of aircraft deliveries
Strategies to reduce the risk through cost reduction efforts and to share that risk with suppliers and with former competitors.
Long-term trends:
The international aircraft manufacturing industry faces stagnant or uncertain markets over the next decade with more restructuring
aircraft and aeroengine development costs have climbed beyond the financial capacity of individual firms
Is the Canadian Aerospace industry attractive?
High entry barriers
Suppliers and buyers have weak positions
Few threats from foreign firms
Moderate to strong rivalry among competitors
Strong bargaining power of government

Conclusion
High profit potential: Attractive industry
Aircraft industry is not particularly capital intensive; less than 20% of GDP
Dependent on dollar
Consolidation complicated by the high degree of offshore ownership
Demand for significant reductions in the cost, while at the same time demanding greater technological and operational sophistication
focus increasingly on process, as well as product technologies, in order to come up with savings in product development, manufacturing and after-sales support
For Canadian industry, one that is focused on niche and foreign markets and dependent on a weak Canadian dollar for a competitive advantage, the only demonstrably effective industry-specific government policy lever has been R&D assistance; R&D is the lifeblood of this industry.
