The United States has an opportunity to be a global leader in advanced air mobility (AAM), but the flight is not expected to be easy. To lead, it should have a clear national strategy for scaling the domestic market while delivering state-of-the-art AAM products that are safe, accessible, and secure.

Through a holistic and rigorous portfolio management, chemical companies can improve strategic soundness, ensure operational resilience, and drive value-creation.

Advanced science and technology have made it possible for scientists to design new, purpose-driven materials that may be engineered to outperform naturally occurring materials.

As cost parity approaches and the focus on sustainability grows, most industrial manufacturers are moving toward the electrification of industrial fleets, processes, and spaces, in line with the broader energy transition taking place across the economy.

Manufacturers are optimistic about the industrial metaverse and are exploring ways it can create value in their talent, supply chain, customer, and production ecosystems, reveals the 2023 Deloitte and Manufacturing Leadership Council (MLC) Industrial Metaverse Study.

Manufacturers are increasingly turning their focus on aftermarket services, not only as a means to enhance customer satisfaction but also as a revenue-generating opportunity. In the wake of COVID-19-driven disruption, there is additional business sense in scaling aftermarket services at a time when new equipment orders are disrupted and capital spending comes into question.

Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute explore how manufacturers can improve the attractiveness of the industry when competing for talent.

Many manufacturers still struggle to fill critical jobs, and companies should continue to find ways to broaden the talent pipeline, foster inclusive cultures, and create ongoing upskilling programs for the digital future of manufacturing.

With disruption becoming the norm, manufacturing supply chains are evolving to balance costs, efficiency, and resilience.

Smart energy management allows electric power providers and industrial companies to generate value from connected, smart building systems.

As oil and gas companies slowly transition to a low-carbon world, four archetypes emerge—each with distinct metrics for success and value-creation opportunities.

Explore the investment choices and strategies of global upstream oil & gas producers amid high oil prices and sustained financial discipline.

The US petrochemical industry is facing profound shifts that will potentially redefine it by 2030. Companies can turn these shifts into opportunities by focusing on areas such as strategy, M&A, digitalization, innovation, and talent.

If building a winning portfolio from just two choices (oil and/or gas) was not easy, imagine the complexity when there are multiple resource options.

Refiners need to rethink their long-term strategies and value proposition to boost their competitive edge in the face of disruption.

In the seven years to 2030, electric companies will need to address the dilemma of rising costs to produce electricity and slow demand growth.

A framework to help electric power companies develop data-driven, risk-informed digital asset management strategies that balance risk, cost, and performance.

Climate change makes it imperative that utilities double down on carbon mitigation–as the cost of carbon-proofing is lower than the cost of inaction.

We look at the Deloitte Resources 2020 Study—as well as historical data over the past nine years—to understand how energy and resource management are likely to change amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Economic recovery for the aerospace and defense industry gained momentum in 2022 on the heels of rising demand for air travel. As passenger traffic gradually returns to pre-pandemic levels, increases in new aircraft and military orders signal continued growth in the approaching year. But optimism is held in check by ongoing risks, from inflation to talent shortages to supply chain disruptions. Our 2023 outlook dives into the latest aerospace and defense industry trends to help your company boost business agility and map a route for success in the year ahead.

Despite supply headwinds, labor shortages, and an uncertain economic environment, the manufacturing industry continues to surpass the expectations of previous years. To maintain this growth, leaders should leverage digital technologies, adopt strategies for the future of work, and drive supply chain resiliency. Our 2023 outlook explores five manufacturing industry trends that can help organizations turn risks into advantages and capture growth.

2022 got off to a strong start for the engineering and construction (E&C) industry but was met with several strong headwinds, including rising costs and labor shortages. How can businesses navigate continuing volatility to thrive in a competitive market? Our 2023 outlook explores five engineering and construction industry trends that can help companies differentiate themselves and capture growth in the year ahead.

As the renewable energy industry heads into 2023, soaring demand and attractive, long-term incentives are creating strong tailwinds, but this momentum could be tempered by some of the same headwinds the sector encountered in 2022. Explore five trends that could help address these challenges and accelerate growth in the longer term.

After years of false starts and pilots, advanced air mobility (AAM) is finally emerging as a viable mode of transportation to carry people and goods in new, community-friendly, and cost-effective ways. 2021 was a milestone year for the AAM market as electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft companies witnessed $5.8 billion in investments. In contrast, eVTOL companies registered $4.5 billion in investments between 2010 and 2020. Furthermore, Joby Aviation3was the first company to go public, followed by Archer, Lilium,5and Vertical Aerospace.

As COVID-19 necessitates greater agility and speed, leaders should consider engaging in smart manufacturing ecosystems to accelerate digital transformation and drive results in the next normal.
