Commercial & Civil Segment to Dominate APAC Helicopters Market During 2021–2028 

According to The Insight Partners market research study on “APAC Helicopters Market to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis and Forecast by Type, Weight, and Application” is expected to reach US$ 15,107.16 million by 2028 from US$ 8,888.12 million in 2021. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2021 to 2028. The report provides trends prevailing in the APAC helicopters market along with the drivers and restraints pertaining to the market growth. Mounting demand due to aging helicopter fleet and rising development of unmanned helicopters and use of advanced materials and technology are the major factor driving the growth of the APAC helicopters market. However, insufficient adoption of advanced helicopters hinders the growth of APAC helicopters market.   

In case of COVID-19, APAC is highly affected specially India. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a massive financial loss in the APAC region. The governments in APAC countries had taken possible steps to reduce its effects by announcing lockdown, which is negatively affecting the manufacturing sector. China, which is one of the leading aerospace manufacturing countries in the region, was one of the most affected countries in APAC during Q1 of 2020. Due to this, aircraft and aircraft component manufacturing facilities have been severely affected. India, Japan, and South Korea are still combating the virus. However, the countries have eased the lockdown measures, which is reflecting the restart of manufacturing facilities. Nonetheless, the remarkably lower volumes of general aviation and military helicopter production in India and Japan slowed down the demand for various components among the OEMs and aftermarket players. Currently, India is experiencing a massive outbreak of the second wave of COVID-19, leading the state governments to impose temporary lockdown measures. This factor is highlighting restrictions in helicopter production facilities. The helicopter manufacturers in India such as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL), have been observing substantial disruption in the supply chain of several components, which is restraining the companies from producing pre-COVID production volumes. Hence, the domestic and international Helicopter market players supplying their products to HAL and TASL are witnessing a decline in sales.
