Pratt & Whitney Inc. - 2024 - Annual Strategy Dossier - Strategic Focus, Key Strategies & Plans, SWOT, Trends & Growth Opportunities, Market Outlook

The report analyses the overall strategy focus and provides insights into the near to medium term strategic blueprint and key Strategies & Plans being pursued by Pratt & Whitney Inc. for the near to medium-term horizon. The Global Aerospace & Defense market is in an expansionary phase amid a surge in defense spending globally as the global power dynamic returns to great power competition and ongoing geopolitical tensions with ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza causing tensions and keeping the entire Middle East region on the edge while the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war enters its third year in 2024. The global economy, on the contrary, is projected to be heading towards a slowdown in 2024 following monetary policy tightening by central banks globally over the recent years to check inflation which has sparked recessionary fears and has created a complex, difficult & challenging global macroeconomic environment.

The Commercial Aviation Market is turning a corner with passenger traffic and fleet utilization exceeding pre-COVID levels of 2019 and airlines’ profitability moving into the positive zone for 2023, after years of market carnage and turbulence. The passenger flights being offered by the airlines are likely to exceed the pre-pandemic levels for the first time in 2024, as per IATA, amid surging passenger traffic levels which are likely to provide a boost to fleet utilization with a better load factor, thereby, boosting passenger revenues and RPKs. The airlines profitability, however, continues to be abysmal and at rock bottom, at just $23+ billion for 2023 being at just 2+% net margin and at $5+ per passenger in revenues, way below the cost of capital and is projected to be almost marginally better for 2024 as well, however, amid a relatively lower cost base.

The surge in passenger traffic and supply side constraints on available capacity, due to supply chain issues, are likely to lead to improved fleet and capacity utilization driving up yield & profitability while also boosting MRO demand & activity levels translating into substantial projected MRO revenues growth for the industry over near to medium term. The high crude oil price environment remains a concern for the airlines from a profitability perspective as they also continue to invest towards and undertake measures to transition towards sustainability by reducing their overall carbon emissions in a tight cost of capital market environment with interest rates staying northwards. The global economic growth, thus, is projected to returns to its range-bound average movement of under 3% annually. However, any further, major potential shock at this time could send the global economy spiralling down into a full-blown recessionary cycle.
