The global helicopter market looks set to grow in value from the current USD31.9 billion to USD41.2 billion by 2027, according to a new report produced by specialist research consultants MarketsandMarkets. The report predicts an annual growth rate of 6.1% for the years between 2022 and 2027, citing a variety of reasons. These include new technical developments, such as the tilt rotor and unmanned helicopters, along with an increased demand for military helicopters as national defence budgets are boosted.
