What is Business Expansion?

Business Expansion is one of our largest categories and looks at the core functions of business operations within the sector.

This consists of any projects that have expanded the company’s footprint in the sector, including: contract wins; launching in new territories; launching new product lines; the acquisition and expansion of facilities and real estate; acquisition of new machinery or other assets; improved logistics; partnerships; and significant staff increases.

Themes

Recent global disruptions seem to have not hampered the naval industry’s expansion, which can be seen through the growth of fleet capabilities and numbers around the globe, with many fleets being refurbished or upgraded to fit the modern needs of the industry.

Keeping track with the times is a sign of a healthy industry and in the C4ISR sector we have seen evidence of this through the development of new and improved models and technologies including more accurate navigation systems optimised to work with satellite and 5G technology and acoustic minesweeping.

Another notable category is Aviation, which has also seen steady growth during the research period, including many cases of innovation and optimisation, with prominent examples in the development of jets and expansion of fleet capacity.

Logistics has also seen steady growth through the optimisation of software systems and the expansion of equipment production, highlighting a heightened need for maintaining fleet capabilities and integrity and a focus on optimising processes.
