These SMEs focus on advanced, small-batch production capabilities in both metallurgy and composite materials. The overall aerospace and defense (A&D) industry has total revenues of US$3.7 billion, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% since 2010. The A&D industry is expected to grow at a 0.8% CAGR in the near-future, with the industry expected to reach a value of US$3.9 billion by the end of 2019. Recently, civil aerospace has been the Belgian A&D industry’s most lucrative segment, representing over 70% of the industry's total market. Belgium’s defense industry is fully privatized and centered on manufacturing components, subassemblies and small arms rather than full weapon systems and platforms. As a small nation, Belgium cannot maintain a large defense industry based on internal requirements, and instead, relies on external components and subcontractor work on major defense programs. Belgium’s military, similarly to other countries in Europe, is aging. The average soldier is 43 years old and the number of soldiers has declined from 40,000 in 2006 to 32,000 in 2016. Due to this decline, Belgium is streamlining its forces to no longer have a separate army, navy and air force, but rather a unified defense entity with a land, sea and air component served by a joint medical component. Additionally, Belgium has developed the Belgian Soldier Transformation (BEST) program integrating the latest technologies, including smart textiles, enhanced integrated and scalable communication, personal optics and global positioning.

These changes should allow foreign companies to manufacture small scale aircraft parts, including aircraft engine components and bearings, and drive foreign M&A and direct investment activities. In 2016, China’s defense budget was the second largest in the world, as it rose 6.2% to US$192.0 billion. China’s military expenditure as a percentage of GDP is only 1.9%, which is low compared to other countries like India (2.3%), the US (3.3%) and Russia (5.4%), indicating additional capacity to increase military spending. The President of China, Xi Jinping, reduced armed forces personnel by approximately 13.0% (300,000 people) earlier this year as part of China’s ongoing restructuring to modernize its military with robust cyber warfare and joint operation capabilities. The commercial aerospace sector has also seen rapid growth, and China’s domestic aviation market is expected to become the world’s largest by 2035, surpassing North America and Europe with 1.9 trillion revenue passenger kilometers projected by 2035. Within the next 20 years, 6,810 new aircraft would be required to meet this growing travel demand. Domestic and global demand for travel has caused the country to enter the commercial aircraft manufacturing business itself in order to reduce dependency on Boeing and Airbus. Chinese state-owned aircraft manufacture, COMAC, plans to produce a 158 seat sing- aisle aircraft, with 570 order commitments received from 23 customers. COMAC believes that its new aircraft, the COMAC C919, has a market potential of nearly US$100 billion, and additionally has entered into a joint venture with UAC in Russia to develop a wide-body jet, the COMAC C929.
