Meteorological software gets climate data through meteorological radars, climate radars, sensors, flying airships, and helicopters. Radars give data such as temperature, wind speed, mugginess, wind course, climate, and other natural conditions. The collected data at that point is handled within the program. It is utilized to get ready reports such as Meteorological Aerodrome Reports (METARs), Terminal Aerodrome Estimates (TAFs), and wind aloft that are utilized within the flying industry.


The helicopter meteorological software installed in helicopters and heliports provides real-time information to air traffic controllers and pilots for efficient helicopter operations. Passenger safety is an important aspect of the aviation sector; aircraft operators always ensure the safety and comfort of their passengers, and helicopter meteorological software provides safety for all flights. Numerous operators and airlines are retrofitting old helicopters with the software and purchasing new helicopters equipped with the latest meteorological software, thereby driving the growth of the market over the forecast period.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Challenges and Opportunities of COVID-19's Divergent Impact on the Market


The COVID-19 pandemic presented both challenges and opportunities for the market. Since the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread all over the world, leading to a complete halt in all aviation-related operations. A disrupted supply chain led to a scarcity of raw materials, impacting helicopter production and deliveries worldwide. As meteorological software is a principal component of a helicopter, the market experienced a decline in demand during the pandemic.


However, the pandemic also created opportunities for companies to invest in R&D, enabling the launch of advanced meteorological software to compete in this market. This, in turn, is expected to boost the global helicopter meteorological software market growth over the forecast period.


LATEST TRENDS

Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Meteorological Software to Positively Grow the Market


In recent years, there have been numerous advances in technology in the competition to provide the best and most accurate software to operators and helicopter manufacturers. Artificial Intelligence (AI) ensures accuracy in magnitude and speed predictions and facilitates better judgment for the pilot. Therefore, artificial intelligence is the most prominent trend in helicopter meteorological software. Numerous service airlines have started using AI-enabled software in aircraft for better meteorological assessments. For instance,



  • In September 2022, Lufthansa, a global airline, unveiled increased on-time flights by using wind forecasting by Google Clouds. BISE winds, cold and dry winds in the northeastern to southwestern part of Switzerland over the Swiss plateau, hindered operations in Zurich Airport, which has now gained over 30% accuracy in meteorological predictions due to the integration of Google Cloud’s software.




DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Fleet of Helicopters to Catalyze the Market Growth


There has been a surge in helicopter deliveries, leading to growth in the helicopter fleet. Helicopter pilots require real-time atmospheric and weather information to operate helicopters in harsh environments and avoid accidents. Thus, the demand for helicopters is continuously increasing for numerous applications, which, in turn, is creating a need for weather monitoring software.


Growing applications of helicopters in transport, delivery, and medical fields, such as air ambulance, are expected to further grow the market for helicopters as well as the market for meteorological software.


Technological Advancements to Aid Real-time Data and Bolster Market Growth


Increasing demand for helicopters for a variety of applications, such as search & rescue, oil & gas, emergency medical services, transportation, and others, is driving the growth of the market. Helicopter operations require real-time atmospheric data such as temperature, wind speed, and weather forecasting information to prevent accidents. The rising number of accidents and safety norms described by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are also major reasons for the implementation of real-time data management software. Real-time data tracking assists the pilot in making the required decisions during flights. Moreover, information related to the helicopter system and software is provided by the flight management software installed in the helicopter.



  • For instance, in July 2022, Elbit Systems, a meteorological software company, launched a fifth-generation aircraft vision suite for military helicopters. The software integrates an AI-powered mission computer, a Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD) system, and a compiled array of sensors.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Lack of Weather Analysis Accuracy to Restrict Market Growth


Even with the latest technological advancements and growing helicopter fleets and applications, there isn’t complete precision in weather detection and analysis due to many reasons. The primary reasons for the same can be the variable nature of weather, wind, and other components, which lead to inaccurate readings. Technological advancements have led to nearly accurate analyses but not completely accurate. This, in turn, can cause a hindrance to the market of helicopter meteorological software over the forecast period.
