Global Helicopter Market Definition

A Helicopter is also termed as a chopper in the global market and is a type of rotorcraft in which thrust and lift are supplied by the rotors. This allows the Helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward, and laterally. These attributes allow Helicopters to be used in congested areas where fixed-wing aircraft and many forms of Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft cannot be performed.

A Helicopter aircraft which uses the rotating or spinning motion of its wings called blades for take-off and fly. The rotating blades, or rotors, allows the Helicopters to perform tasks that airplanes cannot.

Global Helicopter Market Overview

Rise in use of Helicopters in transportation, touring, and VIP movement has changed the demand for Helicopters over the past few years. Helicopters can be employed in emergency situations as well since they offer enormous flexibility especially in small space and can reach to any affected area avoiding all the traffic on the road as well as any natural calamity such as earthquake and flood. Moreover, these Helicopters are appointed with passenger seats, better soundproofing capabilities, and air conditioning. Manufacturers are trying to make more visually appealing, carpeted interior and also the glossy finished commercial Helicopters. Commercial Helicopters can be used in the tourism industry, oil & gas transport, and VIP or corporate shuttle.

The major factors that drive the growth of the global Helicopter Market are the increase in demand for military Helicopter usage, medical and emergency rescue services, and also offshore Helicopter services. In addition, growth in the tourism industry is further expected to increase the demand for the commercial Helicopter Market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the replacement of aging commercial Helicopters is expected to support the growth of the market. Therefore, high fare limits the market growth.

Defense budgets of developed countries have gradually declined due to budget sequestration in the defense sector. The US Department of Defence proposed a reduction in Defence funding. A few developed countries are expected to undertake further reductions to help optimize their defense budgets.

Global Helicopter MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Helicopter Market is segmented based on Type, Application, and Geography.

Helicopter Market, By Type

• Light• Medium• Heavy• Very Large

Based on the Type, the market is bifurcated into Light, Medium, Heavy, and Very Lage. The light segment held more market. The demand for such rotorcraft in commercial aerial for photography and videography, as well as event logistics, such as transport of equipment and personnel, is expected to drive the growth. Moreover, the growing leisure tourism industry is expected to upsurge the demand for light commercial Helicopters over the forecast period.

Mission versatility, cost efficiency, and reduced maintenance cycle are expected to drive the adoption of medium commercial Helicopters. Medium-sized Helicopters are often used as a transportation option to reach remote areas and hence play a crucial role by supporting lifesaving missions, such as SAR operations and medical emergencies.

Helicopter Market, By Application

• Oil & Gas• Transport• Medical Services• Law Enforcement & Public Safety• Others

Based on Application, the market is bifurcated into Oil and Gas, Transport, Medical Services, Law Enforcement, and Public Safety, and others. The global oil and gas industry is growing substantially with the rise in the projects for discovering hydrocarbon deposits below the surface of the earth. This growth is expected to drive the demand for Helicopters in remote and offshore oil and gas operations. Rise in the number of far-offshore deep-water oil extraction projects is anticipated to be a key demand driver as such projects often require dedicated Helicopters to transport the personnel as well as equipment to and from the shore.

Helicopter Market, By Geography

• North America• Europe• Asia Pacific• Rest of the world

On the basis of Geography, the Global Helicopter Market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the world. Europe accounted for the largest market share and is expected to continue leading over the forecast period. The Clean Sky initiative in the region involving a public-private partnership between the European Commission and the European aeronautics industry is developing sophisticated technologies to manufacture environmentally friendly and quieter rotorcraft. North America accounted of the global market share and is expected to witness considerable growth over the forecast period. The replacement of aging Helicopters, particularly in U.S. is one of the key factors driving the regional market.

Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Factors such as increasing demand for rotorcraft from the tourism industry, relaxation in airspace restrictions, investment in the indigenous aviation industry, and development of infrastructure in emerging economies are projected to fuel the growth. The sale of rotorcraft in the Middle East and Africa is expected to witness steady growth due to the stable economic growth of the oil and gas industry in the Middle Eastern countries.
