Market Dynamics:

Increasing usage of helicopters in defense & military, emergency medical services, transportation to offshore and rural places where take-off and landing spaces are limited will further support the helicopter blades market growth during the forecast period. This has resulted in some of the key developments by companies operating in the market to consolidate their market positions and look for further niche opportunities.

Segment Analysis:

The demand for helicopters has moderately increased in both commercial and military sectors. Commercial helicopters are now being used in different areas like transportation, tourism, medical and emergency rescue services and offshore helicopter services. Helicopter blades Manufacturers are focusing on research and development activities to reduce the weight of the blade, along with minimizing the noise created by the blades that enhances the performance of the helicopter. In March 2017, the Institute of Aviation signed an agreement to continue research for innovative composite rotors blade for ultra-light helicopters. This collaboration will boost the helicopter blades market growth. Also, the developments of helicopters with a focus on improving efficiency and reducing carbon emissions carry huge payloads and also offering comfort to the passengers will result in the growth of the helicopter blades market in the coming years.

Furthermore, Helicopter manufacturers are entering into strategic joint ventures to manufacture products for military applications. According to this, Mahindra Defense and Airbus Helicopters in July 2018 decided to produce the helicopters for the Indian Military. This enables them to enhance the domestic helicopter production facilities in India. All these strategic activities will support the helicopter blade's market growth.

Factors Impacting Market Growth:
