BGS launched July 1, combining Boeing's commercial, defense, and space support services in one organization. The business unit generates about $14.5 billion in annual revenue, and Boeing is pushing to raise that figure to $50 billion in about a decade. There is plenty of opportunity, according to Boeing's calculations.

 


The manufacturer sees a $1.5 trillion market for commercial services, ranging from traditional maintenance to data-driven products such as fuel-savings optimization, and a $1.1 trillion opportunity for government services, largely supporting military fleets. Southeast Asia will generate $82 billion in commercial work and $22 billion in government work, the company projects.
