Segmental Analysis
The scope of the global helicopters market has been segmented based on component & system, type, and point of sale.
Based on Component & System, the helicopter market is segmented into Airframe and Engine. The airframe of helicopters consists of sheet metal and a tubular structure. This structure is generally made of stainless steel, or titanium alloy as these materials can sustain load, high stress, and strain during critical missions. The airframe includes the avionics, main rotor systems, aerostructures, transmission systems, and anti-torque systems. Current helicopters use lightweight and durable materials for airframes, which reduce overall weight, improves fuel efficiency and agility, and require minimal maintenance.
Based on Type, the helicopter market is segmented into Civil & Commercial and Military. The demand for commercial helicopters has been increasing over the past few years. In civil & military, light and medium helicopters are being used widely. The light helicopters have a load-carrying capacity of fewer than 3.1 tons, and the medium helicopters have a load-carrying capacity of between 3.1 to 8.5 tons. The civil & commercial helicopters segment is expected to register a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period.
Based on Point of Sale, the helicopter market is segmented into OEM and Aftermarket. OEM is expected hold a largest market share throughout the forecast period, whereas Aftermarket is anticipated to grow at highest CAGR.
Geographically, the global Helicopters market has been segmented into North America, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.
