Middle East and Africa Helicopter Landing Gear Market

Market Introduction

With increased deployments of helicopters by the aerospace sector, the market for helicopter landing gear in the Middle East is slowly developing. Terrorism, humanitarian crises, and political unrest in the MEA have prompted regional economic giants such as Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Turkey to increase their military expenditure. Countries in the area are substantially investing in military helicopter acquisitions and upgrades, which is fueling the region's landing gear market expansion. Furthermore, the growth of the business ecosystem in nations such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel, has boosted the region's general aviation industry. Oil-exporting countries in the Middle East are increasingly investing in tourism infrastructure to diversify their economies away from oil and gas. This aspect is driving the demand for helicopters in the region for VVIP transportation and commercial purposes, providing attractive opportunities for landing gear manufacturers in the region. Also, advanced robotic landing gear getting created is among the other factors expected to fuel the demand for helicopter landing gear in MEA.

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the overall growth rate of MEA helicopter landing gear market in the year 2020 in a negative manner to some extent, due to decline in revenue and growth of companies operating in the market owing to supply and demand disruptions across the value chain. Thus, there was a decline in y-o-y growth rate during the year 2020. However, the sudden growth in vaccinations, COIVD-19 safety protocols, the restrictions are getting lifted which would positively impact the production capabilities of both civil and military helicopters, and thereby landing gears also. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Morocco, and Kuwait are the main MEA countries that are facing the effects of COVID-19 pandemic. Most operations in the region have been suspended due to an increase in the number of cases in the region. To deal with the pandemic, countries have been compelled to redirect funds to improve their healthcare infrastructure. As a result, the demand of landing gears for civil and military helicopters is dwindling. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is limiting the demand development of helicopter landing gear in the MEA. This upward growth is expected to normalize the MEA helicopter landing gear market growth over the forecast period of 2021 to 2028.

The helicopter landing gear market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 154.01 million in 2021 to US$ 193.46 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% from 2021 to 2028. Composites are heavily utilized for structural components for helicopters due to their stiffness and superior specific strength properties compared to steel and aluminum. Also, the weight savings which are realized by putting composites is one of the drivers influencing c=use of composites. The first ever composite landing gear component was designed at NLR was a torque link for NH-90 helicopter’s main landing gear. In the landing gear applications, torque link is utilized to prevent landing gear from wobbling at the course of landing operations. In a framework of different technology programs, the Structures Technology Department as a part of the Aerospace Vehicles division of NLR has designed numerous composite landing gear components for fighter aircraft and large military helicopters. The landing gear programs are carried out with SP aerospace- landing gear manufacturer. Moreover, companies’ presence in the helicopter landing gear is another factor creating substantial growth opportunities for composites. For instance, GYRO-TECH provides 2 types of composite main landing gear to cater helicopter platform, especially the light helicopters.
