Overview of the global heliports market
The global heliports market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of more than 2% during the forecast period. The increasing number of skyscrapers in business hubs will drive the growth prospects for the global heliports market in the coming years. The construction industry is increasingly witnessing a huge rise in the total number of tall buildings like the skyscrapers, supertalls, and megatalls, where a small-scale heliport can be designed above the building or a couple of buildings sharing a single roof. Moreover, the benefits associated with the heliport allows building managers to use a heliport for transporting executives and clients in and out of the building. Furthermore, heliport operations do not impact or stop human activities during helicopter landing or take-off and protect normal human activity areas. One of the major factors that encourage most of the skyscrapers to have a rooftop heliport is the increasing need to address emergency incidents like a fire breakout.
The increasing focus on safer landing and take-off missions with efficient lighting technologies will drive the growth prospects for the global heliports market in the forthcoming years. One of the major trends in the rotorcraft aviation domain is increasing innovations in the heliport lighting segment. Also, the heliport infrastructure industry is witnessing a high growth due to the development of omnidirectional lighting system, which can endure rough weather conditions without compromising on performance. Moreover, the development of similar lighting equipment that functions by absorbing the solar radiation will encourage the harness of renewable energy.
