The German aerospace and space flight industry is characterized by a high concentration of companies and by high levels of investment in research and development and the innovations that flow from that. Total sales in this industry, after the 2002 slowdown that followed the 9/11 attacks, have again stabilized at €16 billion. In contrast, at 69,300 employees, total employment in the industry is once again falling.

In the last few years new major projects, such as the Airbus A380, has presented the companies in this industry with new challenges. On top of these, globalization is transforming supplier relationships. This is leading to muted expectations about the future, since state support is being reduced, industry growth is slowing, and companies are engaged in hard price and technology competition.
