This market research report identifies players like Advanced Technologies, Carson Helicopters, Erickson, GKN Aerospace, and Kaman to be the key vendors in the global helicopter blades market. This research report also presents a detailed segmentation of the market by product (main and tail rotor blades) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).
Overview of the global helicopter blades market
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global helicopter blades market to grow at a CAGR of almost 5% between 2016 and 2020. Helicopter blades are crucial components of a rotorcraft as they are accountable for effective aerodynamic forces which offer safety. The constantly growing demand for helicopters has propelled vendors to focus on using new technologies such as additive manufacturing (AM) for value creation in prototyping, tooling, concept modeling, and production of selected components. Vendors are also focusing on noise and vibration reduction in helicopters through the implementation of modern innovations. The smart material actuated rotors, developed by NASA has an active control strategy of reducing vibrations and noise. This SMART technology also improves the rotor performance by generating effective aerodynamic force with less fuel consumption.
At present, the market is witnessing the emergence of the electrical tail rotor, which increases the overall system efficiency, minimizes fuel burns, and leads to lower maintenance expenses. An electrically-driven tail rotor offers a new design and role of the tail configuration owing to the torque reaction system, which augments forward flight competence by dropping aerodynamic force drag, making the overall compound propulsion systems feasible. These electrical systems also cut down on emissions as compared to the conventional rotorcraft vehicles.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
Characterized by extreme competition, vendors in the global helicopter blades market compete in terms of cost, product quality, reliability, and aftermarket services. Most of these players focus on improving their in-house manufacturing capabilities, product offerings, global footprint network, and R&D investments to gain a competitive edge over their peers. These vendors are constantly investing in newer technologies to maintain a strong client base. Advanced Technologies and Erickson are the two leading suppliers in this market, who contend on the basis of price, quality, availability of, and technology. These major players primarily concentrate on the implementation of lightweight materials and robust systems. The market will witness increased instances of mergers, acquisitions, and increased collaborations across the globe during the forecast period.
Leading vendors in the market are -
- Advanced Technologies
- Carson Helicopters
- Erickson
- GKN Aerospace
- Kaman
Product segmentation and analysis of the helicopter blades market
- Main rotor blade
- Tail rotor blade
The main rotor blades segment will be the fastest-growing one in the market throughout the forecast period. These blade types are responsible for generating the upward force in the helicopter which lifts it in the air. Each blade generates an equal share of lift, balancing the weight of the helicopter and dividing it evenly between the rotor blades on the main rotor system. In 2015, Hughes Helicopters came up with Microsat, a new waveform, which is specialized for rotary wing Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) satellite communications (SATCOM). This new waveform is incorporated with a forward error correction code that allows it to quickly reacquire the lost information after passing through the helicopter blades.
Geographical segmentation and analysis of the helicopter blades market
- Americas
- APAC
- EMEA
The Americas account for the largest region in the helicopter blades market and will continue its dominance over the predicted period. Much of the region’s growth comes from the growing demand for helicopters, where the manufacturers are focusing on developing lightweight and highly efficient aerodynamic control surfaces that will have a vital role in operations. With the growing procurement of civilian turbine-powered helicopters, the region will witness significant growth in the market in the coming years.
