It may have taken longer than some people would have hoped, but the world economy is finally firing on all

cylinders again. Global gross domestic product growth is expected to hit 3.7 percent this year and 3.9 percent in 2015, according to the International Monetary Fund, the best it's been in years.

That's good news for Canada, which always performs better when other countries are growing. Our country is a major player in a number of sectors, including energy, mining, aerospace and transportation, and while each one has its own unique challenges, nearly every part of the market is poised for good growth over the next several years.

In this "Building Canada" series, we look at how eight of Canada's main industries will fare in the future and what companies in these sectors can do – and are doing – to grow their business. Some are finding new markets to enter, others are investing in new equipment and technology, but all will benefit from a healthier global economy.
