According to the market report published by Companies and Markets, the helicopter civil market is going to lead the market growth with the new models of the main manufacturers, such as Bell Helicopter

According to a report published on the website of Companies and Markets, one of the world’s leading providers of market research reports, the helicopter market is expected to grow of 2.6% between 2014 and 2018.

THE CIVIL MARKET WILL LEAD THE MARKET GROWTH

The civil market growth on the one hand, the decrease of the military market supply on the other: this is the scenario foreseen by the American report, according to which the new models of the main helicopter manufacturers (such as Bell Helicopter, AgustaWestland, Airbus Helicopters and Sikorsky) are going to lead the market growth.

Indeed, the supply for the latest helicopters is going to boost. Helicopters such as the EC145 T2, the Bell 429, or the AW189, which can all be used in different operations, are going to lead the rotorcraft market. The turnover of the civil market is going to increase more and more, especially in the field of VIP transport and HEMS services.

THE DECREASE IN MILITARY INVESTMENTS

If, on the one hand, the turnover of utility helicopters is increasing more and more, the military helicopter market is expected to fall between 2014 and 2018. According to the report, the reason lies in the fact that several countries are constantly reducing their defence budget.

ASCEND’S ANALYSIS

Companies and Market’s report confirms a trend that had already been foreseen by several institutes of market analysis. Indeed, in March 2014, Ascend had already considered a boost in the civil helicopter market, which is expected to sell 75 million dollars in helicopters during the next 10 years.
