  • This is expected to provide opportunities for helicopter market players who have the design and manufacturing capabilities to integrate electric-hybrid propulsion as well as autonomous flight capabilities in their helicopters in order to increase their market share.

CHALLENGES

  • Strict regulations govern the manufacture of helicopter components.

  • Before they can be assembled in a helicopter, all components must go through a one-time inspection.

THE IMPACT OF COVID-19

The rapid spread of the novel COVID-19 in markets such as Europe, the United States, and Asia Pacific has resulted in a significant drop in global demand for helicopters. Due to factors such as late delivery and manufacturing shutdown, there has also been a corresponding reduction in the revenue quantum for various helicopter suppliers, followed by service providers across all market locations. Furthermore, the availability of limited staff at manufacturing facilities, as well as limited availability of equipment, is impeding market growth.

Civil, commercial, and military helicopters have seen significant growth in recent years. The increased demand for light helicopters for civil and commercial applications such as transport and offshore is one of the major factors driving this growth. Military helicopter procurement by military around the world, particularly demand for attack helicopters from emerging economies, has increased the order book of military helicopters. This demand, which has resulted in an increase in helicopter deliveries, is expected to propel the OEM market during the forecast period. Because of the increase in offshore activities and demand from offshore rigs, civil and commercial offshore helicopters are expected to have the highest CAGR. The number of global offshore rigs has steadily increased in recent years and is expected to rise further during the forecast period. Demand for offshore helicopters is expected to rise as offshore activities expand. With the growth of the aviation industry and relatively short travel times to any part of the world, the world has become a relatively small area. It also provided a boost to the personal atmosphere, a significant expansion of places, cultures, people, or a sense of humor as travelers could gain access by simply booking flights. Individual rising incomes associated with aging vessels are expected to further the market demand for helicopters. In addition, the growing tourism industry is expected to increase the demand for the helicopter market during the forecast period. However, tight ventilation systems and the high costs associated with helicopters can serve as challenges to the growth of the helicopter market market. Most countries pay taxes on commercial helicopters, thus hampering growth at some point. Helicopters produce noise levels up to 110 decibels slightly lower than the sound produced by a large chainsaw. The pressure on manufacturers of helicopters to design environmentally friendly helicopters is likely to increase in the near future due to the increase in the number of helicopters entering the service.

Developing countries such as Brazil, India and China are facing increasing demand for commercial helicopters due to the growth of the tourism industry. In addition, manufacturers expect that attractive financial systems will boost market share, as consumers find favorable targets for buying new helicopters.

This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.
