Helicopter Ice Protection System Market: Key Drivers and Trends
With the increasing focus to reduce the annual CO2 emissions, the aviation industry is preferring the usage of several electrical systems and components that can reduce the use of conventional pneumatic and mechanical systems. As a result, there is a growing preference for new-generation helicopters equipped with features such as electric-powered environment control system (ECS), electric de-icing, and electrical actuators. Considering the potential usage of electrical architecture in new generation helicopters, vendors are focusing on R&D activities and the adoption of additive manufacturing techniques. Such factors will subsequently drive helicopter ice protection system market growth over the forecast period.
- Helicopter ice protection system market trends such as the increased adoption of digital helicopter health and usage monitoring (HUMS) will also influence market growth.
- Integrated digital helicopter health and usage monitoring (HUMS) utilizes multiple sensors to monitor the health and performance of critical components and systems of helicopters such as engines, tail-rotors, transmission, and main gearboxes.
- There is a growing importance of using HUMS in countries such as the US, Canada, and France.
- To cater to the growing demand, vendors are focusing to offer real-time maintenance diagnostics solutions to helicopter operators.
- Such factors will drive market growth at a CAGR of about 4% during 2019-2023.
