脅威

ドローンとUAVの需要の増加

ドローン時代以前は、ヘリコプターはメディアやエンターテイメントなど様々な用途に使われていました。その後、ヘリコプターの代わりにドローンを使用することで、同じ作業を行うことができ、維持費も削減できます。ドローンは、何百マイルもの距離や長時間の飛行はできませんが、ヘリコプターが飛べないような危険性の高い場所や制限された場所に入ることが可能です。商業用途以外でも、軍事・治安維持組織における監視・空撮用途では、ヘリコプターに代わってUAVやドローンが使用されています。したがって、ドローンやUAVの需要の増加は、ヘリコプターの市場シェアにマイナスの影響を与えると予想されます。

COVID-19の影響

COVID-19のパンデミックとロックダウンは、いくつかの国で空港、港湾、商業および国内輸送を停止させる結果となりました。主要な航空機組立工場の大半は、操業停止または規模縮小を余儀なくされました。ヘリコプター業界は全体として民間航空会社よりも影響が少なく、負担の大きい医療機関への患者の効率的な配給に貢献したため、いくつかの国で脚光を浴びるようになりました。しかし、ヘリコプター業界は深刻な影響を受けており、今後も厳しい状況が続くと思われます。可処分所得の減少、貯蓄の枯渇、懸念や不安の増大といった需要サイドの課題により、供給の影響はさらに深刻化しています。

予測期間中、商業用セグメントが最大となる見込み

商業分野は、観光、オフショア、輸送ヘリコプターサービスにおける商業用ヘリコプターの採用が増加していることから、有利な成長を遂げると予測されます。公共安全、法執行、訓練、観光、捜索救助、緊急医療サービス、消防などでのヘリコプターの急速な利用が、主にこの市場を牽引しています。また、持続可能な開発に焦点を当てた、低騒音で環境に優しいヘリコプターシステムの拡大も、市場を活性化させる要因となっています。商業用ヘリコプターは、石油・ガス分野とオフショア分野での需要が急増すると予想されます。

医療サービス分野は予測期間中に最も高いCAGRが見込まれる

医療サービス分野は、航空救急サービスの需要増加により、予測期間中に最も速いCAGRの成長を示すと予想されます。航空医療サービスは、地球規模の救急車よりも迅速に移動し、より広い地域で活動できるため、人口の少ない地方で特に有用です。航空救急車は、医学的な緊急事態や長距離、あるいは通常の地上救急車では不可能な場合に、特別な装備を施した航空機で病人や負傷者を搬送するものです。これらの救急車には、地上救急車と同様に、傷病者のケアや治療に不可欠な医療機器が装備されています。

シェアが最も高い地域

アジア太平洋地域は、宇宙開発規制の緩和や地域航空セクターの台頭、新興国政府による航空機開発費の増加などにより、予測期間中に最大の市場シェアを占めると予想されます。観光産業からの回転翼機の需要増加、空域規制の緩和、土着航空産業への投資、新興経済諸国でのインフラ整備などの要因が、成長を促進すると予測されています。

CAGRが最も高い地域

欧州は、老朽化したヘリコプターの代替により、予測期間中最も高いCAGRを示すと予測されています。欧州委員会と欧州の航空業界との官民パートナーシップを含むこの地域のクリーンスカイ構想は、環境に優しく静かな回転翼機を製造するための高度な技術を開発しています。したがって、これらの要因が市場の成長を後押ししています。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Helicopter Market is accounted for $48.74 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $78.38 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft with horizontally spinning rotors that provide lift and thrust. These rotors enable Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) and allow the aircraft to hover in place for an extended period of time. These rotorcrafts are intended to perform various operations and flights in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft cannot fulfil mission requirements. In terms of efficiency and dependability, these aircraft have evolved significantly over the last two decades. They have several applications, namely, military, commercial, and general. In recent years, the general aviation sector has exhibited the most air traffic growth by rotorcraft aviation, including emergency medical services.

According to Helicopter Association International (HAI), sales of military helicopters were approximately 29.2 billion USD and civil helicopters accounted for 17.82 billion USD in terms of sales.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing Demand for Emergency Medical Service Helicopters

The use of helicopters is growing for emergency medical services as they offer specialized crew and necessary equipment for emergency situations. In remote locations helicopter emergency medical services play a fundamental role in saving lives. This has led the governments in various countries to support the implementation of helicopters as air ambulances. Technological developments in air ambulance services are projected to boost the growth of the market. Hence, the use of helicopters for Emergency Medical Service is expected to drive market growth of the market.

Restraint:

High Manufacturing Costs

The integration of new and advanced electronics is increasing with a focus on enhancing functionality. These factors result in high manufacturing costs. The manufacturing of helicopters for specialized applications requires specific equipment to test calibration. In addition, manufacturers are also using 3D printing to create lightweight airframes and other components, which further increases costs. Likewise, the increasing use of composite materials for helicopter airframe also tends to increase the overall cost of helicopter. Therefore, the high costs involved in manufacturing the helicopter is expected to hinder market growth.

Opportunity:

Replacement of aging helicopter fleets

The development of next-generation compound and tilt helicopters is expected to drive the growth of the market and result in a significant number of helicopter replacements and capability extensions. Traditional surveillance systems are being replaced with active electronically scanned arrays on combat helicopters, owing to their ability to spread signal emissions across a wide range of frequencies. Emerging economies are investing in the development of electronically scanned array radar systems for combat helicopters. These countries have allocated substantial shares of their defence budgets to augment their existing defence power, which involves upgrading their helicopter fleet.

Increased demand for drones and UAVs

Before the drone era, helicopters were used for various applications, including media, entertainment. After that same operations can be performed by using drones instead of a helicopter with reduced maintenance costs. Although drones are not capable of covering distances of hundreds of miles and long flight hours, they are capable of entering high-risk or restricted zones where helicopters cannot otherwise fly. Other than commercial applications, UAVs and drones have replaced helicopters in surveillance and aerial imaging applications for military and other security organizations. Hence, increased demand for drones and UAVs is anticipated to affect the helicopter market share negatively.

COVID-19 Impact

COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns have resulted in several countries shutting down airports, ports, and commercial and domestic transportation. The majority of significant aircraft assembly plants had to shut down or scale back operations. The helicopter industry as a whole was less impacted than commercial airlines and even gained prominence in several nations by helping to efficiently distribute patients among overburdened medical institutions. However, the helicopter sector has been severely impacted and will likely face challenging times. Supply impacts were further compounded due to challenges on the demand-side owing to reduced disposable income, depleting savings, and increased concerns and uncertainties.

The commercial segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The commercial segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to increasing adoption of commercial helicopters in tourism, offshore, and transportation helicopter services. The market is primarily driven by the rapid utilization of helicopters in public safety, law enforcement, training, tourism, search and rescue, emergency medical services and fire fighting. The expansion of low-noise and environmentally friendly helicopter systems focusing on sustainable development are also providing an impulsion to the market. The commercial helicopters will see surging demand from oil & gas and offshore segments led by the varied usage of these helicopters in inspection and maintenance of offshore oil rigs.

The medical services segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The medical services segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the rising demand for air ambulance services. Airborne medical services can travel more rapidly and operate in a broader area than a global ambulance, making them especially useful in low populated rural areas. An air ambulance is a specially equipped aircraft transporting sick or injured people in a medical emergency or long distances or something impossible with a standard ground ambulance. These ambulances are equipped with medical equipment essential for the care and treatment of injured or sick patients, like ground ambulances.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the easing of space rules and the rise of the regional aviation sector, increasing spending by governments of developing nations on the development of their fleet. 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.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the replacement of aging helicopters. 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. Therefore, these factors are boosting the growth of the market.
