What will it take to be a future player in the UK Aviation Equipment industry?
Keywords: Aviation, Equipment, UK
Taking a critical look at the Top 100 players in the market, Plimsoll has published a Future Players Analysis which speculates on which companies will figure in the future of the industry.
The analysis focuses on the key players, making suggestions of how the company will "move forward". Fastening on 10 key areas of attention the analysis shows how current performance might change and how the company will respond to competition. Each company has been assessed on its own merits and its performance analysed to expose areas of strength and weakness.
Not holding back any punches, this analysis names 7 losing pace, 3 of which had sales of over £15 million. These companies are not alone in their retreat, as 17 other companies have been named that require a period of great change in order to compete.
Many companies have elected to capture market based on debt. Whilst the risk associated with this strategy is high, the short- term effect on others is profound. This method of survival is in direct contrast to the 23 companies adopting a more 'steady ship' approach. Of course who can criticise a strategy of maximising profits if only perhaps if it is at the expense of a place in the future of the industry.
The Top 100 Aviation Equipment Future Players Analysis carries two full pages of intense analyses per company with several added features never seen in a Plimsoll Analysis before.
Plimsoll has determined the current and future value or worth of every one of the Top 100 companies in the analysis. The report also predicts the likely strategy each company is to take over the next 12 months. The analysis also lists the precise strengths and weaknesses of every company.
And finally, if looking for a company to buy, the Future Players Analysis names other companies in the Aviation Equipment industry each company could realistically purchase.
