Market Introduction

Geographically, the APAC helicopter market is segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the Rest of APAC. The APAC helicopter market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during 2021–2028. The growth of the market in the region is attributed to the continuous focus by the governments on strengthening their forces and operations with advanced equipment and technologies. Governments have been inviting manufacturers to provide advanced solutions for improving the helicopter fleet. They are investing in comprehensive and next generation military and commercial helicopters. China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Australia are among the key countries for the helicopter market in the region. The Indian Ministry of Defence and the Indian Coast Guard have been upgrading and advancing their military component by enhancing the military budget over a period. In 2015, China invested in enhancing the fleet by accepting the delivery of two S-76D helicopters at Sikorsky Aircraft's commercial helicopter center. The MOT’s helicopter fleet, which is the foundation of China's airborne search and rescue (SAR) maritime operations, consists of 16 S-76 helicopters, eight of which are S-76D aircraft. On a similar line, Australia is also improving its search and rescue (SAR) operation services by enhancing the capabilities and including advanced technology. All these trends are creating immense opportunity for the market players in the APAC helicopter 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.
