Segment Analysis

By Material Insights: Based on the material type, the segment is classified into two types Carbon fiber Reinforced Plastic, Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic in helicopter blades industry. Carbon fiber reinforced plastic will witness steep growth in terms of share in the helicopter blades market size over the forecasted period. This attribute due to superior strength offered by these materials supported in helicopters operations. Besides, the material provides a higher specific modulus, which contributes significantly towards lowering the helicopter weight and improving blade strength, thereby further propel the segment size. The glass fiber reinforced plastics will account for considerable growth in the helicopter blades market share over the forecasted period. The materials provides crucial advantages over the conventional blade materials including lower manufacturing cost, lightweight, and ease in manufacturing processes. Thereby, the lower stiffness may limit its usage in the main rotor blades in helicopters.

By Distribution Channel Insights: It has two distribution channels i.e. OEM and Aftermarket; OEM is estimated to expand the share volume in the helicopter blades market size, due to increasing helicopter production globally. The development of light-weight material along with an increasing focus on upgrading existing helicopter fleet with advanced blades to increase payload capacity. Aftermarkets expected to account for a significant volume share in the helicopter blades market due to the requirement for periodic maintenance over a period of definitive flight cycles. The parts are needed to be replaced owing to wear and tear coupled with stringent airworthiness regulations.

By Blade Location Insights: The main rotor blade holds the major share in the helicopter blades market. Defense forces are continuously investing heavily in R&D and developing several programs including the Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstrator (JMR-TD) for developing semi-high utility helicopters with a focus on increasing the speed of the helicopter.

The tail rotor blade will show significant growth due to an increasing number of helicopter production and deliveries globally.  The tail rotor supports the helicopter balance and avoids the movement in unwanted directions. The development of composite tail blades with shortened vibration levels compared to conventional blades further aid the product penetration.

Regional Analysis

The global helicopter blades market is divided into regions that are North America - U.S, Canada, Other; Asia-Pacific -India, Japan, China, Australia, Other; Europe - UK, Russia, France, Brazil, Other; Middle East and Africa. Every region analysis details in sense of growth, revenue, volume, challenges, and opportunities with the regional and global key players. North America helicopter blades market share will account for significant growth owing to the existence of leading manufacturers around the region. Manufacturers are venting new production and manufacturing facilities to aid the growing helicopters demand. For example, in March 2019, Kopter declared the opening of its new SH09 helicopter production facility in the U.S. However, increasing the defense budget along with the continuous upgradation of existing military helicopters is further supporting the regional expansion.

Global Helicopter Blades Market Size, Share Analysis by Region 2017

The Asia Pacific is expected to show significant growth in the market share in the helicopter blades market over the forecasted timeframe. This may credit to the rising helicopter usage in emergency rescue operations. For example, in November 2018, Russian Helicopters signed a contract for providing 20 Ansat EMS light twin helicopters to the Emergency Medical Association of China. Besides, proliferating tourism in the region is concluding into growing helicopters demand. In 2018, Nautilus Aviation received two Bell helicopters for charter, tourism and utility operations.
