Global civil helicopter MRO market to be worth us$6,784m in 2014, Says the new Study on ASDReports

Friday 12 December 2014, Amsterdam

New research now available on ASDReports, has revealed that the global civil helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) market will reach US$6,784m in 2014. This will be driven by the wider civil helicopter market and the necessity to perform scheduled maintenance and unscheduled maintenance on airframes to meet essential regulations that ensure the safety of flight operations, passengers and crews, as well as maintain aircraft in a state of airworthiness.

The report forecasts indicate that the civil helicopter MRO market will continue to record positive growth in the next decade. North America and Europe hold the two largest shares of the civil helicopter MRO market, supported by a large rotorcraft fleet in each respective region and the range of applications that helicopters are deployed in. The Latin American market has experienced a recent surge in demand for civil helicopters resulting in a significant number of leading original equipment manufacturers establishing an operational presence in the region with service and maintenance centres and facilities. Elsewhere, the Asia-Pacific region is highlighted as a strategic area for potentially strong growth in the near future. Moreover, civil helicopter MRO activities will be driven by scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on existing helicopter fleets for safety and operational efficiency reasons.

Aviation analyst Christopher commented that, “MRO is a fundamental aspect of civil helicopter operations to ensure that helicopters are inspected, repaired and maintained in conditions of airworthiness to ensure safety regulations are met and operational readiness. MRO consists of a variety of services ranging from regular line maintenance to heavy maintenance, which involves disassembly of airframes and engines for component inspection and repair as well as testing prior to being returned to service”.
