LATEST TRENDS


Development of Advanced Rotor Technology Offers New Growth Opportunities


The development of advanced helicopters presents a significant opportunity for the Europe helicopter market growth. Rotor technology plays a critical role in the performance and efficiency of rotrcraft, and advancements in this region can significantly impact their capabilities. The development of new composite rotor blades are lighter and more durable than traditional metal blades. These blades can improve the performance and fuel efficiency of rotor-wing aircrafts while reducing maintenance costs. For instance, Airbus S.A.S has been developing new composite rotor blades for its H135 and H145 rotorcrafts, while Leonardo SpA is working on new active rotor control technology for its AW169 and AW189 rotorcraft.


DRIVING FACTORS


Expansion of the Offshore Energy Sector is Propelling the Market Growth


The offshore wind industry is expanding rapidly in Europe, expected to drive demand for rotor-wing aircraft for transportation and maintenance operations. Offshore wind farms require regular maintenance, repair, and inspection services, which can be time-consuming and expensive to perform by traditional means. Rotor-wing aircraft can transport technicians and equipment to and from offshore wind turbines quickly and safely, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.



  • The European Union has set a target to produce 60 GW of offshore wind power by 2030, which will require significant investments in infrastructure, including helicopter transportation services. Several companies, including Bristow Group, Babcock International Group, and CHC.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Inflation in Fuel and Raw Materials Prices May Hamper the Market Growth


Inflation in fuel and raw materials hampered the growth of the European helicopter industry. Fuel prices have been volatile in recent years, leading to an increase in the operating costs of rotorcraft. Inflation in raw materials such as aluminum, steel, and titanium has also affected their production costs, resulting in an increase in selling prices. For instance, during the COVID-19 OEMs and aftermarket are facing supply chain disruptions and inflation, affecting the MROs as well as prices jumped from 13%-15% at the end of 2020 to 20%-25% in 2021 and are expected to increase 10% above the baseline.


KEY INDUSTRY PLAYERS


Airbus S.A.S is dominated the Europe helicopter market share, followed by Leonardo S.p.A, Textron Inc., Russian Helicopters JSC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation. These companies continuously develop new products and offer a wide range of military and civil helicopters. The COVID-19 pandemic has also increased the need for rotorcraft for medical transport and essential services. The key players in the market are well-positioned to meet the evolving demands of the market and continue to drive growth.


Other players such as the Boeing Company and Kaman Corporation are also dominating the market. These companies are focused on strengthening their product portfolio and distribution network through strategic collaboration and partnerships to increase their market share in Europe.
