This Decennial Strategy Review, published at the turn of the decade, reviews the strategy evolution & progression for Safran SA through one of the most profitable decades for the Global Commercial Aviation market with the market continuing with its unbroken supercycle driven by strong tailwinds emanating from a multitude of favorable, demand side factors led by robust growth in passenger air traffic, decent global macroeconomic growth and a favorable crude oil price environment prevailing through most of the decade which has bolstered airlines profitability as well as driven fleet expansion led by the LCC segment. Supply side factors, led by the development & introduction of new & re-engined aircrafts by the industry OEMs, incorporating new, high bypass turbofan engines have stimulated replacement demand with technological evolution by the industry, focused on performance, safety, comfort and optimized operating economics, further catalyzing fleet replacement activity across airlines groups globally.

The report analyzes and reviews the strategic path taken by Safran through the decade ending in 2019, led by the massive acquisition spree the group has been on over the recent years underpinning its inorganic growth strategy which now positions the group as amongst the leading global T1 aerospace suppliers with the latest JV with Boeing for joint manufacturing of APUs further enhancing the same. Safran, under CFM, its longstanding JV with GE, has dominated the global medium thrust aircraft propulsion market for decades now, led by the company’s iconic CFM56 engine program. The development of the LEAP engine family, to take on Pratt & Whitney’s GTF, and transitioning its global industrial footprint successfully from CFM56 production to LEAP engines production with achieving rapid production rate ramp up to full scale, scheduled for 2020, have been the key strategic focus for Safran over the recent years. Additionally, development of electric & hybrid-electric propulsion systems for commercial aviation & the urban air mobility market are going to be the key long term growth opportunities for Safran going forward. Further, managing things in a very difficult & challenging commercial aviation market environment post the outbreak of COVID-19, with most key global economies projected to go into recession for 2020,will be critical for the company over near term.

This decennial review, thus, takes a macro view of the strategic developments and reviews the strategy pursuits & execution by the company over the 2010-2019 period and assesses its strategic significance as well as business impact & outcome for the company at the turn of the decade with a look at the road ahead.
