需求 - 促進因素、限制因素、機會

市場需求促進因素:競爭與印太地區格局(航空)

實力接近的競爭對手,尤其是中國和俄羅斯的崛起,仍然是影響美國軍事投資優先事項的最重要因素。在印太地區,作戰範圍廣闊,對手能力日益複雜,美國向分佈式、高韌性的空軍轉型,以在高威脅情境下獲得優勢。這項轉型推動美國加大對前沿基地、遠程精確打擊和聯合指揮控制能力的投資。

美國空軍部(DAF)2025會計年度預算申請總額為2,626億美元,較2024會計年度的2,592億美元略微增加1.3%。雖然總額增幅不大,但反映出資金的重大策略性重新分配。2025財政年度運作維護(O&M)預算申請為646億美元(基於OP-32),較2024會計年度增加19億美元,體現了對飛行小時數、武器系統維護和分散式作戰等核心戰備項目的重視。

與此政策密切相關的是太平洋威懾舉措(PDI),這是美國國會設立的一項數十億美元的資金籌措機制,目的是加強亞太地區的威懾力。根據PDI,美國空軍和印太司令部對關島、提尼安島、帛琉和澳洲北部的機場進行現代化改造,增建加固機庫、燃料倉儲設施和維修設施,以支援分散作戰。2025會計年度空軍作戰與維護(O&M)預算申請為756億美元(比2024會計年度增加21億美元),為這些活動提供了作戰基礎,其中包括110萬飛行小時、機隊維護以及一項目的是檢驗大規模機動基地作戰的擴大物流演習。現代太平洋地區的阻礙力也依賴先進的武器系統,以確保可靠的打擊範圍和戰備狀態。2025會計年度採購計畫包括約550枚聯合空對地防區外飛彈增程型(JASSM-ER),價值8億美元;以及另外972枚先進中程空對空飛彈(AMRAAM),累計約11億美元。這些採購計畫體現了從烏克蘭衝突和太平洋軍事演習中汲取的經驗教訓:在高強度戰鬥中,飛彈庫存會迅速消耗殆盡。因此,持續的武器投入既是對戰備能力的投資,也是工業基礎健康的雙重保障。

市場挑戰 - 預算限制與政治不穩定

儘管總預算接近歷史最高水準,美國國防部航太部門仍面臨嚴峻的財政環境。 《2023會計年度財政責任法案》(FRA)規定,國防支出名目成長率在2025會計年度之前不得超過每年1%。空軍部2025會計年度的預算申請約為2,175億美元,較2024會計年度略有成長,但考慮到3%至4%的通貨膨脹率,其實際購買力實際上有所下降。這種溫和的成長率限制了現代化優先事項,迫使空軍只能保障其最關鍵的項目,例如B-21「突襲者」轟炸機、下一代空中優勢(NGAD)計劃(F-47)和核武更新計劃,並減少近期採購F-35A「Lightning II」和F-15EX「鷹II」戰鬥機。

航空項目的預算上限構成了特別嚴峻的限制,因為飛機採購和維護是國防費用中資本密集度最高的類別之一。即使是小幅短缺也會對生產力、供應商合約和交貨前置作業時間長的零件訂單產生連鎖反應。這導致主要項目線被拉長至數年,降低了規模經濟效益,並延緩了機隊更新。

市場機會:大規模現代化專案/一次性聯合飛機

美國空軍的現代化建設為機身、推進系統和任務系統創造數十年的發展機會。2025會計年度國防預算累計,超過610億美元用於以隱形飛機、數位化保障和新型無人平台為核心的空中力量建設。 F-35A「Lightning II」戰鬥機累計最重要的飛機採購項目,2025會計年度採購經費超過53億美元,持續研發投入達17億美元。儘管由於軟體延遲導致生產速度放緩,但其長期規模(計劃生產1763架)確保了持續的維護、航電升級和引擎改進機會。 B-21「突襲者」轟炸機計畫目前正進入早期生產階段,並將在未來幾十年內繼續成為美國轟炸機部隊的核心力量。2025會計年度約47億美元的採購和研發支出將用於支援機身結構、塗層和推進零件的穩定生產擴張和分包。

下一代空中優勢(NGAD)系統系列(包括F-47戰鬥機)帶來了最具變革性的機會。該系統在2025會計年度的研發投入高達33億美元(高於2024會計年度的23億美元),將整合有人駕駛的第六代戰鬥機、自主無人機和分散式感測器網路。 NGAD的「協同作戰飛機(CCA)」概念 - 一種低成本、人工智慧賦能的無人僚機 - 正吸引著許多主要企業和新興參與企業。美國空軍選擇Anduril Industries和General Atomics Aeronautical Systems開發CCA原型機,這標誌著主承包商的多元化趨勢。

U.S. Air Force to Dominate the U.S. Military Market (by End User)

The U.S. Air Force remains the dominant end user in the U.S. military market because it concentrates the largest, most technologically advanced portfolio across fighter and attack aircraft, bombers, and other aircraft, and visible demand for prime contractors and their tiered supply chains. Its modernization agenda prioritizes low observable designs, sensor fusion, and open mission systems while funding next-generation training and test infrastructure that accelerates capability insertion and shortens time to field. Recapitalization of aerial refueling and strategic mobility fleets anchors multi-year procurement, stabilizes production rates, and supports continuous upgrades in survivability, networking, and battlefield management.

Segmentation 2: by Platform Type

  • Fighter Aircraft
  • Rotary-Wing Aircraft/VTOL
  • Military Drones
  • Space Activities

Fighter Aircraft to Dominate the U.S. Military Market (by Platform Type)

Fighter aircraft constitute the dominant platform segment in the U.S. military market because air superiority and offensive counter air remain the decisive enablers of joint force operations. Demand is anchored by recapitalization of legacy fleets and continued procurement of fifth-generation fighters that deliver low observability, fused sensing, and secure networking at scale. Investment priorities favor weapons system integration, electronic warfare resilience, and open mission systems that accelerate software upgrades and mission adaptability. Sustainment intensity, including propulsion overhauls, structural life extension, and avionics modernization, creates large and recurring aftermarket revenue streams. The emergence of collaborative combat aircraft concepts positions fighters as the lead node for teaming with attritable uncrewed systems, expanding the mission set while preserving the primacy of crewed platforms. Training and test infrastructure for advanced simulators, range instrumentation, and live virtual constructive environments compresses time to field and deepens pilot proficiency. Relative to helicopters and military drones, fighters capture the highest share of modernization funding because they deliver rapid global reach, survivability against contested defenses, and scalable strike options that underpin deterrence and crisis response.

Fuselage to Dominate the U.S. Military Market (by Component)

Fuselage dominates the U.S. military market component mix because it concentrates the highest value content, integrating structure, survivability features, and mission-system architecture into a single load-bearing shell. It houses weapons bays, sensor apertures, fuel cells, environmental controls, and electromagnetic shielding, making it the primary determinant of signature management, range, and payload flexibility. It drives platform commonality and growth margins by accommodating modular avionics, wiring harnesses, cooling loops, and open systems racks that enable rapid technology insertion. It anchors manufacturing economics through advanced composites, automated fiber placement, large-tooling capital, and complex assembly sequencing that set learning curves for the entire airframe. It commands sustainment spending since corrosion control, battle-damage repair, structural health monitoring, and depot modifications are centered on fuselage sections. It concentrates certification and airworthiness effort, including fatigue life, crashworthiness, pressurization, and electromagnetic compatibility, which elevates qualification barriers and supplier stickiness. It shapes logistics and turnaround time because access panels, door cutouts, and maintainability features in the fuselage dictate crew hours for inspections and line-replaceable unit swaps. It therefore captures the largest share of recurring and non-recurring investment, positioning fuselage producers as critical partners to prime contractors and making this component the most influential cost and capability driver in the military aircraft supply chain.

Demand - Drivers, Limitations, and Opportunities

Market Demand Drivers: Power Competition and Indo-Pacific Posture (Air Domain)

The resurgence of near-peer competition, particularly with China and Russia, remains the single most influential factor shaping U.S. military investment priorities. In the Indo-Pacific, where operational ranges are vast and adversary capabilities increasingly sophisticated, the U.S. is shifting toward distributed, resilient airpower to prevail in high-threat scenarios. This transformation is driving increased investments in forward basing, long-range precision strike, and joint command-and-control capabilities.

The Department of the Air Force (DAF) FY2025 budget request totals $262.6 billion, a modest 1.3% increase from the FY2024 request of $259.2 billion. Although the topline rise is narrow, the strategic reallocation of funds is notable. The Operations & Maintenance (O&M) appropriation request for FY2025 is $64.6 billion (according to OP-32), an increase of $1.9 billion over FY2024's request, reflecting an emphasis on core readiness programs such as flying hours, weapons system sustainment, and distributed operations.

Closely tied to this approach is the Pacific Deterrence Initiative (PDI), a multibillion-dollar funding mechanism created by Congress to strengthen the U.S. deterrence posture in Asia. Under PDI, the Air Force and Indo-Pacific Command are upgrading airfields across Guam, Tinian, Palau, and northern Australia, adding hardened shelters, fuel storage, and maintenance facilities capable of supporting dispersed operations. The FY2025 Air Force Operations & Maintenance (O&M) request of $75.6 billion, which is a $2.1 billion increase from FY2024, provides the operational backbone for these activities. It covers 1.1 million flying hours, fleet sustainment, and expanded logistics exercises designed to test agile basing at scale. Modern deterrence in the Pacific also relies on advanced munitions to ensure credible reach and responsiveness. FY2025 procurement includes approximately 550 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles-Extended Range (JASSM-ER) valued at $0.8 billion, alongside 972 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) worth roughly $1.1 billion. These procurements address lessons from the Ukraine conflict and Pacific wargames, namely, that high-intensity combat would rapidly exhaust missile inventories. Sustained munitions funding thus represents a dual investment in readiness and industrial base health.

Market Challenges: Budget Constraints and Political Uncertainty

The U.S. Military aerospace sector continues to face a challenging fiscal environment despite near-record topline funding. The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA) imposed statutory caps that limit nominal growth of defense spending to roughly 1% per year through FY2025. While the Department of the Air Force's FY2025 request of ~$217.5 billion represents a marginal increase from FY2024, inflation of 3-4% means its real purchasing power has effectively declined. This modest growth rate constrains modernization priorities and forces the Air Force to protect only the most critical programs, i.e., the B-21 Raider bomber, Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) initiative (F-47), and nuclear recapitalization efforts, while reducing near-term procurement of the F-35A Lightning II and F-15EX Eagle II.

Budget ceilings are particularly restrictive for aviation programs because aircraft procurement and sustainment are among the most capital-intensive categories of defense spending. Even small shortfalls have cascading effects on production rates, supplier contracts, and long-lead component orders. As a result, major program lines are being stretched across multiple years, reducing economies of scale and delaying fleet recapitalization.

Market Opportunities: Major Modernization Programs/Attritable Collaborative Aircraft at Scale

Modernization across the Department of the Air Force is generating multi-decade opportunities across airframe, propulsion, and mission system segments. The FY2025 defense budget includes over $61 billion for airpower, primarily focused on stealth aircraft, digital sustainment, and new unmanned platforms. The F-35A Lightning II remains the most significant aircraft procurement line, with over $5.3 billion in FY2025 procurement funding and $1.7 billion for continued R&D. Despite slower production due to software delays, its long-term scale (projected fleet of 1,763 aircraft) ensures enduring opportunities for sustainment, avionics upgrades, and engine improvements. The B-21 Raider program, now transitioning to early production, anchors the U.S. bomber force for decades ahead. FY2025 funding of roughly $4.7 billion across procurement and development supports a steady ramp-up and subcontracting for airframe structures, coatings, and propulsion components.

The Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) family of systems, including F-47, represents the most transformative opportunity. With FY2025 R&D funding of $3.3 billion (up from $2.3 billion in FY2024), NGAD integrates manned sixth-generation fighters, autonomous drones, and distributed sensor networks. NGAD's Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) concept, low-cost, AI-enabled unmanned wingmen, is attracting both primes and new entrants. The Air Force has down-selected Anduril Industries and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems to develop prototype CCAs, signalling a diversification of the prime contractor landscape.
