Helicopter Avionics Market size was over USD 12.38 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to cross USD 26.73 billion by 2036, witnessing more than 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2024-2036. In the year 2024, the industry size of helicopter avionics is estimated at USD 12.98 billion.
The major key factors driving the growth of the helicopter avionics market include the role of avionics in the movement of helicopters along with the need for up gradation of the avionic systems at regular intervals to ensure the safety of staff and passengers. These systems help pilots with some analytical data such as speed of air, altitude through data sensors and accelerometers. Additionally, certain technological advancements such as auto ground collision avoidance systems and synthetic vision systems enable cost savings along with expanding of operational capacity of the helicopter.
Growth Drivers
Upgradation in Technological advancements & Maintenance Operations
Helicopter avionics system provides flight route pictures and display important information such as vertical rate and GPS active waypoint. Further, to track the helicopters across military and aerospace, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are extensively used. These RFID tags enhance the manufacturing efficiency which enables the manufacturers to manage the inventory of spare parts. Moreover, this technology is used by maintenance companies to identify defective parts quickly to ensure value proposition of flyable parts. The automatic flight control system (AFCS) has enabled automation in various avionic systems to improve the stability and crew workload of helicopter. In addition, the system ensures safe helicopter operations owing to the warning system alerts to update the pilot when the distance between terrain and helicopter requires recognition.
Challenges
Stringent Regulations on Helicopter Services
The regulatory bodies related to helicopter aviations are going through tough rules and operator laws in the industry. In order to carry out any off shore services, the helicopter operators have to apply for US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification. Further, this certification creates difficulties for operators owing to the time consuming process of getting certification. Hence, this factor is predicted to hamper the helicopter avionics market growth over the forecast period.
