Report Description
The global military rotorcraft market size is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing use of military rotorcraft in search and rescue operations.
A military rotorcraft is a helicopter that has been designed or adapted expressly for use by military forces. The purpose of a military helicopter is determined by its design or conversion. Military helicopters are commonly used for troop transport, but they may also be adapted or altered to undertake other duties such as Combat Search And Rescue (CSAR), airborne command post, Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC), or equipped with weaponry for striking ground targets. Specialized military helicopters are designed to carry out specialized tasks. Attack helicopters, observation helicopters, and anti-submarine warfare helicopters are examples of professional military rotorcraft. Recently, the French Armament General Directorate (DGA) issued a contract to the French Air and Space Force in April 2021 to buy eight H225Ms and a second VSR700 prototype.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound influence on the industry. The market in Asia Pacific and Europe, and market in the US experienced a significant drop in demand for helicopters, due to the pandemic. Furthermore, the coronavirus outbreak significantly lowered revenues for various helicopter service providers and suppliers across all markets, resulting in late deliveries, manufacturing shutdown, allowance of partial staff at manufacturing facilities, and nominal equipment availability.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Use of military rotorcraft in Emergency Medical Services (EMS), law enforcement, public safety, and firefighting activities is projected to drive the market.
- High need of military rotorcraft for numerous maritime applications in the oil & gas industry is expected to boost the military rotorcraft market.
- Development of operational technology and product information is anticipated to drive the market.
- High maintenance cost and operational erosion are expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
- Contract change cycle and safety concern hinder the market expansion.
- Rising number of leasing choices and leasing organizations is expected to create lucrative opportunities for market growth in the coming years.
