Yes — if your goal is to compare manufacturers’ strategy, competitive positioning, and market share in aerospace, the most useful market intelligence publishers tend to fall into a few buckets: commercial aerospace market data, defense aerospace intelligence, fleet/aircraft forecasting, and competitive strategy research.

Strong publishers to consider

1. Cirium

  • Strong on: fleet, airline, aircraft utilization, delivery data, and market forecasts
  • Good for comparing: OEM share, airline customer base, aircraft orderbooks, in-service fleet trends
  • Best when you want quantitative market share views tied to aircraft and airline activity

2. CAPA – Centre for Aviation

  • Strong on: airline and OEM competitive intelligence, strategy, route network, partnerships
  • Good for comparing: manufacturers’ positioning within airline markets and regional growth strategies
  • Useful for: strategic context, though often more airline-focused than pure OEM analysis

3. IATA / ICAO / OEM public disclosures

  • Not a publisher in the usual sense, but essential for baseline market intelligence
  • Good for: macro demand, traffic recovery, delivery trends, regional market structure
  • Best used alongside commercial research providers

4. Aviation Week Network

  • Strong on: industry news, market analysis, defense/aerospace programs, supply chain
  • Good for: tracking competitor strategy, program wins, backlog, production issues
  • Best for a mix of qualitative insight and industry reporting

5. Forecast International

  • Strong on: aerospace and defense market forecasting
  • Good for comparing: platform-by-platform market share and long-range demand outlook
  • Especially useful for defense aerospace and program-level comparisons

6. Teal Group

  • Strong on: aerospace/defense market forecasts and industry analysis
  • Good for: competitive landscape, OEM shares, production and delivery trends
  • Often cited for aircraft and defense market outlooks

7. Janes

  • Strong on: defense aerospace intelligence
  • Good for comparing: manufacturer strategies in military aircraft, systems, procurement, and geopolitical positioning
  • Best if your “manufacturers” include defense OEMs

8. S&P Global / Panjiva / 451-style supply-chain intelligence

  • Strong on: commercial and supply-chain signals
  • Good for: mapping sourcing strategy, supplier dependence, trade flows, and production footprint
  • Useful when comparing operating strategy, not just end-market share

9. Mordor Intelligence / MarketsandMarkets / GlobalData / Frost & Sullivan

  • Strong on: broad aerospace market reports
  • Good for: segment sizing, growth rates, regional splits, and vendor landscapes
  • Best for quick market sizing, though depth/quality can vary by report and segment

10. Boeing / Airbus / Embraer / COMAC / Gulfstream / Bombardier investor materials

  • Strong on: direct strategic statements and backlog/order data
  • Good for: comparing each manufacturer’s stated strategy against market share and delivery performance
  • Best used as primary sources alongside independent research

If your focus is specifically “strategy + market share”

I’d prioritize:

  1. Cirium – best for fleet/orderbook/share analysis
  2. Aviation Week Network – best for competitive developments and program intelligence
  3. CAPA – strong strategic industry context
  4. Forecast International / Teal Group – strong market forecasts and OEM comparisons
  5. Janes – if defense aerospace is included

Practical tip

For a robust comparison of manufacturers, use a mix of:

  • Quantitative source: Cirium, Forecast International, Teal Group
  • Qualitative source: Aviation Week, CAPA, Janes
  • Primary source: company annual reports, earnings calls, investor decks

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a ranked shortlist by subsegment (commercial aircraft, engines, defense, rotorcraft, UAVs), or
  2. a comparison matrix of these publishers by depth, cost, and best use case.
