The helicopter landing gear market  size is projected to reach US$ 5.99 billion by 2031 from US$ 3.81 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.8% during 2023–2031. The development of robotic landing gear is likely to remain a key trend in the market.

Helicopter Landing Gear Market  Analysis

The global helicopter manufacturing or retrofitting industry is characterized by the presence of well-known and financially strong helicopter manufacturers such as Airbus and Bell Helicopter. Owing to this, the bargaining power of buyers in the helicopter landing gear market is quite high at present, however, the bargaining power of buyers is estimated to reduce to moderate level in the coming years. Helicopter manufacturing companies such as Airbus, Bell Helicopters, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation among others have a fierce competitive rivalry among themselves and they require constant improvement in their aircrafts to maintain their stronghold in the market. Owing to this fact, these companies have a high tendency to switch helicopter component contractors over a period of time, in order to enhance the entire helicopter systems. Hence, due to the consolidated nature of helicopter manufacturing industry with the presence of few large helicopter manufacturers, the bargaining power of buyers is expected to remain high in the coming years.

Helicopter Landing Gear Market  Overview

The helicopter landing gear market consists of large number of well-established and well-recognized companies such as Safran S.A., Liebherr Group, Héroux-Devtek Inc., Circor International, Inc., and Triumph Group Inc. among many others. These market players have well-established brand position and long term presence in the global landing gear market. The helicopter manufacturers rely heavily on the brand value of the helicopter component manufacturers, and due to this, majority of the contacts are awarded to the established and industry recognized helicopter landing gear manufacturers, thereby, creating minimum space for new manufacturers to enter the market. In addition to this, the initial capital investments involved to enter the helicopter landing gear market is quite high, which acts as an entry barrier for new entrants.

Helicopter Landing Gear Market  Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Global Helicopter Production

The rise in number of helicopter production and deliveries worldwide is one of the major factors supporting the adoption of helicopter landing gears for civil and military helicopters across different regions globally. For instance, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), around 1072 civil helicopters were delivered in 2022 compared to 1007 helicopters in 2021. Further, according to GAMA, pistin helicopter deliveries witnessed a growth of around 7.7% in 2023 with 209 units delivered worldwide; whereas, civil-commercial turbine helicopter witnessed a rise of around 9.9% with 811 units in 2023. Such growth in deliveries and production of helicopters is driving the growth of helicopter landing gear market worldwide.

Rise in Scope of Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Facilities

The exponential growth of helicopters has complemented the establishment of MRO facilities in the world over the years. The scope of MRO facilities is expected to rise in different parts of the world, especially in Asia. Owing to the rising adoption of civil helicopters for various commercial purposes such as fighting wildfires, facilitating news & traffic coverage, conducting search & rescue missions, and patrolling gas & oil pipelines, the establishment of MRO facilities is also witnessing a positive trend. The rising use of helicopters is rapidly accelerating the scope of helicopter’s maintenance business. Countries such as Singapore and India are witnessing presence of companies offering helicopter landing gear associated MRO services. Tentacle Aerologistix Pvt. Ltd. has stepped into the area of MRO with an aim to create a landmark in aircraft maintenance. Further, several emerging countries have also announced their plans to establish an MRO hub across their respective regions. For instance, the Indian government has announced to make the country an aviation MRO hub which is further expected to drive the demand for helicopter landing gear systems across the region.
