Global Top 5 Civil Helicopter OEMs Comparative SWOT & Strategy Focus 2018-2023: Airbus Continues to Dominate & Further Tighten its Grip on the Global Civil Helicopter Market

DUBLIN, Oct. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Comparative SWOT & Strategy Focus - 2018-2023 - Global Top 5 Civil Helicopter OEMs" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Global Civil Helicopter Market is on the recovery course after facing headwinds for a number of consecutive years starting 2014 with the plummeting of global crude oil prices which precipitated the crisis in the energy sector and led to sinking of the demand for new civil helicopters & fleet utilization levels of in-service fleet for transportation to the offshore oil & gas rigs.

The market for civil helicopters is likely to bottom out in 2018 with fleet utilization rates across operators picking up for the first half of 2018 as global crude oil prices resurge driven by contrived supply side constraints & pressures.

However, the civil helicopters deliveries are likely to remain flat for 2018 and pick up only from 2019 onwards; despite decent activity & demand from the EMS, Parapublic & VIP transport market segments; in a complex, uncertain, challenging & difficult global macroeconomic environment that is likely to stay over near term.

Amongst regions, China is spearheading the global demand growth for civil helicopters, led by the development of its EMS market, and is poised to become the world's leading market for civil helicopters over medium term. Amongst OEMs, Airbus Helicopters continues to dominate & further tighten its grip on the global civil helicopter market with almost 50% unit delivery share for 2017 and a robust order book position with Leonardo and Bell actively on the trail.

Leonardo has achieved a key feat by being able to finally penetrate the U.S. military helicopter market by winning the USAF's UH-1N military helicopter contract based on its ever popular AW139 program leveraging the favorable trend & growing preference for militarized variants of civil helicopter platforms globally.

Further, with the AW609 certification round the corner and the U.S. Navy's upcoming trainer rotorcraft actively on its radar, Leonardo is looking to enhance its positioning in the global civil helicopter market over near term.

The recent regulatory approval, on the mandate for retrofitment of Crash Resistant Fuel Systems (CRFS) on existing, in-service civil helicopters in the U.S., is likely to give a major boost to civil aviation safety. However, integration of UAS into the existing airspace still remains a challenge and threat to manned helicopters & aircrafts. The offshore oil & gas market is gradually returning to normalcy with reference to fleet utilization with full demand recovery still a couple of years away.

The offshore oil & gas transportation market has also been witnessing a gradual shift towards the super medium helicopter segment with most OEMs having a presence in the segment.

Amid the scheme of things, the maintenance & repair of offshore wind turbine market is slowly emerging as a niche growth opportunity for civil helicopter operators & OEMs as the push on renewable sources of energy gets a boost under environmental regulations, which is likely to witness a further strong uptick over medium term.

Going forward, the U.S. Navy's plan to replace its TH-57 Trainer rotorcraft with a commercial, off the shelf solution is likely to be a key program of contention for Airbus Helicopters, Bell & Leonardo with the trio fielding their respective contenders for the potentially significant growth avenue in a highly strategic market.

Also, the likely radical transformation of Urban Air Mobility, with the upcoming age of eVTOL based air transportation systems, will herald a new era of growth for the industry which is gearing up rapidly with the development of requisite technologies.

The technology is evolving rapidly and is poised to disrupt the Global Urban Air Mobility Market at a lightning pace with the industry OEMs & players; able to adopt & incorporate right technologies for right applications to provide most fitting solutions focused on delivering overall value to customers while creating significant competitive advantages for themselves by leveraging this technology led differentiation; will be at the forefront of this one of the most disruptive phases for the industry going forward.
