	The industry is geographically segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and Rest of World (ROW). During 2006-2011, APAC dominated the industry and is expected to retain its lead position over 2012-2017due to rising military expenditures and an increase in energy exploration activities. Currently, North America dominates the industry.
	 
	Lucintel’s research indicates that despite the challenges of unfavorable financing terms, high import taxes for aircraft, and defense budget cuts, the industry is expected to grow in tandem, with the economic recovery and global military expansions. Economic growth, aging aircraft fleets, and the replacement cycle drive the industry.
	 
	Rise in military spending and strong GDP growth in developing economies, including the BRIC nations, are expected to drive industry growth.
