Military Rotorcraft Market Dynamics

Rapid advancements in the fields of stealth, speed, load capacity, and design have rendered most of the legacy, erstwhile state-of-the-art rotorcraft fleets, obsolete and, in several cases, unsuitable for modern combat, thus necessitating the procurement of new helicopter variants. The need to operate in a network-centric combat environment with advanced electronic warfare and communication systems is another major influencer anticipated to drive investment in advanced rotorcraft programs worldwide. Countries such as the US, Russia, China, and India have initiated major procurement programs to replenish their legacy fleets with new helicopters, replete with the latest avionics and flight features.

The increasing complexity and cost of military rotorcraft development are necessitating international cooperation as countries seek to share the costs and risks of developing and acquiring new rotorcraft. This trend of collaboration brings forth numerous benefits in helicopter development. Firstly, international cooperation can help countries pool their resources and expertise, which can lead to the development of more capable and affordable rotorcraft. Additionally, collaborations foster faster development timelines while also allowing the countries to customize the helicopters to align with their unique requirements. In addition to developmental efforts, governments are also collaborating to locally manufacture foreign rotorcraft to reduce manufacturing costs and develop their indigenous industrial base.

Military Rotorcraft Market Segments

The key segments in the military rotorcraft market are transport and utility helicopter, maritime helicopter, and attack helicopter. Over 2023-33, the military rotorcraft market is expected to be dominated by the transport and utility helicopter segment. North America ranks first in the transport and utility helicopter segment. The North American military transport and utility helicopter segment is expected to experience significant growth, primarily driven by prominent US programs such as the UH-60M Black Hawk Program and the CH-47F Chinook Helicopter Procurement.

We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
