Stratview Research has published a new report on the Helicopter Blades Market. The report on the market is segmented by Helicopter Type (Civil, Military, and Civil/Military), by Engine Type (Turbine and Piston), by Blade Location Type (Main Rotor and Tail Rotor), by Design Type (Symmetrical and Under Cambered), by Material Type (Carbon Composites, Hybrid Composites, and Others), by Manufacturing Process (Sandwich Construction and Others), by End-User Type (OE and Aftermarket), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
Market Overview:
The helicopter blades market was valued at US$ 1,212.5 million in 2016 and is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 4.5% over the next five years to reach US$ 1,568.4 million in 2022.
Increasing delivery of helicopters, advancement in blade technology such as electric tail rotor systems, a continuous shift from heavy metal blades to lightweight composite blades, and rising helicopter fleet size are major growth drivers of the helicopter blades market.
Segment Analysis
The helicopter blades market is segmented based on helicopter type as civil and para-public, military, and civil/military. Military and civil/military segments currently dominate the helicopter blades market, driven by high deliveries of helicopters and large fleet size. H125, H135, and H145 of Airbus Helicopters, Black Hawk of Sikorsky, A-64 Apache of Boeing, and AW139 of Agusta Westland are amongst the key helicopter models which are driving the demand for blades in these segments. The civil and para-public segment is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, driven by increasing demand for light single-engine and intermediate & medium twin-engine civil helicopters.
Based on the material type, composites are likely to remain the largest and fastest-growing material type during the forecast period. The materials' potential in structural applications has been recognized for a long by Helicopter manufacturers. Military helicopters use composites ranging from 50% to 80% of the total airframe weight. The usage of composites varies significantly in civil helicopters. Some civil helicopter manufacturers use composites extensively, whereas some use them mainly in non-structural applications. Blades are also not untouched by such dynamics and major helicopter manufacturers are increasingly adopting composite blades in their upcoming models. At the same time, there is also an increasing demand for composite blades in the aftermarket.
Based on blade location type, the main rotor blade is projected to remain the largest type during the forecast period. Both the main rotor and tail rotor blades are likely to witness similar growth over the next five years. There is increasing penetration of composite materials in both blade types.
Europe is projected to remain the largest and fastest-growing helicopter blade market during the forecast period. The region is the manufacturing capital of the helicopter industry with the presence of Airbus Helicopters, Agusta Westland, and Russian Helicopters. All the major helicopter manufacturers are producing blades in Europe only.
