Briefing Series: World Military & Civil Aircraft Briefing
This overview aims to provide a comprehensive look at the players and markets in the world rotorcraft industry. It covers all turbine-powered machines, including helicopters and tiltrotors.Our numbers cover all models built in open market producer countries, including remanufactured machines, but our discussion covers Chinese, East European and ex-Soviet models inasmuch as they compete with the Western designs. A few helicopters built under license by smaller companies are included in the production numbers, which slightly inflates the big Western primes’ market standing.
This overview is divided into four parts. The first covers rotorcraft manufacturers, and other broad market issues. Next is our overview of the US and international military markets, followed by our look at the civil market. Last is our usual quantitative forecast of the market.
Methodology
The publisher's analysts employ a combination of empirical and expert centered approaches to forecasting across multiple global defense and aerospace markets. Numerous variables play into future market requirements: macroeconomics, geopolitics, regional competitiveness, public and private market forces, cost pressures, country‐specific budget constraints, supplier relationships, etc.
We maintain proprietary databases that provide a strong foundation for building a quantitative understanding of key relationships between the forces that drive the demand for an array of products, platforms, and systems. These data assets have been developed and expanded over 30 years of company operations and provide an unapparelled set of resources that make the publisher uniquely qualified to forecast future industry performance. These empirical fundamentals allow for rigorous modelling.
In addition to this highly structured, data-driven perspective, the publisher through the expertise of its analysts has a comprehensive qualitative understanding of the forces that shape market demand. It is our position that forecasting demands both empirical understanding and artistic interpretation based on insights gained from decades of dedicated research and analysis. The result is a forecast that combines both to achieve a highly informed window to the future.
