Description
Introduction
The Asia-Pacific heavy lift helicopter market was valued at US$ XX Mn in 2017 and is expected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2022 growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. In general a helicopter is a type of rotor-craft in which the lift and thrust are supplied by rotors. This makes the helicopter even more manoeuvrable than the fixed wing aircrafts for example it can fly forward, backward, take off, land vertically, hover etc. A heavy lift helicopter is a sub-division of the parent aircraft. It is supposed to meet a number of requirements. Some of the notable characteristics are as follows:- Seven blade rotor with elastomeric head and high-performance composite blades
- Glass cockpit with four-axis autopilot and sensors for all-weather capability
- A crew of 2 pilots and 10-15 tonnes of cargo
- Possibility to refuel in air
- Dimensions of at least 12 x 3.2 x 3 (in metres)
- Max take-off weight 36,000 kg
- Max speed 300km/hr
- Range of 500 km with 10-13 tonnes load or 360 km with 15 tonnes
The end users are mainly the military, disaster management forces, tourism agencies, research agencies etc.
Market Dynamics:
The following factors are significant in deciding the fate of the market:
Market Drivers:
- These elite airships fortified with modular ballistic protection are a great addition to military. These could be used to rapidly deploy troops, provide reinforcing supports to the forward assault squads, and perform surprise and shock assaults.
- Large number of personnel could be quickly deployed by the disaster management forces during times of natural crisis events.
- These helicopters are indispensible in carrying food and medicine to mountainous regions inaccessible by road transports. Similarly these vehicles are used to transport tourists.
- The falling prices of oil also boost this sector directly because these helicopters use oil as its fuel.
Market Restraints: The high manufacturing cost is the major hindrance to the markets. These helicopters are also prone to accidents and causalities owing to the conditions and risky jobs it does.
Market Opportunities: Market opportunities mainly lie in modernisation of the infrastructure so that these helicopters could be self-manufactured and not bought from the European or Russian dealers at steep prices.
Market Segmentation:
Based on application, the market can be segmented into Military, Civil, Economic Categories.
Geographic Analysis:
Asia Pacific is registering the fastest growth rate in this sector. Several nations like India, China, N & S Korea, Japan etc. are acquiring more and more of these airships to bolster their military strength.
Key Players:
Some of the key players in the market are: Fuji heavy industries, Mitsubishi, Boeing corp., Textron corp.
