Helicopter Market by Types (Civil & Commercial and Military), Applications (Emergency Medical Service (EMS), Corporate Services, Search and Rescue Operations, Oil & Gas, Defense, Homeland Security, and Others), Systems (Airframe, Engine, Avionics, Landing Gear System, and Cabin Interiors), Point of Sales (OEMs and Aftermarket), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 - 2031
Helicopter Market Outlook 2031
The global helicopter market size was valued at USD 24.42 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 59.98 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand for low-weight helicopters and emergency medical services (EMS) helicopters.
Helicopter, also known as chopper, is an aircraft that have horizontally rotating blades, which provide propulsion and lift to it. This enables helicopters to take off and fly back and forth. It can reach high-altitude places more quickly than ground vehicles. EMS providers use helicopters to rescue patients and provide immediate treatment, increasing their chances of survival in critical situations.
Helicopter Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing penetration of Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and big data analytics in military combat helicopters have helped to create real time data-based systems. Thus, ongoing advancement is anticipated to spur the helicopter market growth.
- Rising urbanization, rapid growth in the transportation industry, rising government spending in the tourism sector, growing offshore oil and gas industry are some of the key drivers driving the helicopter market.
- Development, integration and maintenance of metrological systems across various platforms increase the operational costs of companies, hindering the helicopter market growth.
- Urban air mobility is a concept that combines helicopter’s electric-hybrid engine technologies and autonomous flight for inter-and intra-city mobility. These electric helicopters, also known as electric vertical take-off and landing (e-VTOL) aircraft, is expected to reduce noise and air pollution, creating remunerative opportunities for the helicopter market.
