The Helicopter MRO Market size is projected to reach US$ 42,742.32 million by 2030 from US$ 27,641.75 million in 2022. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.6% in 2022–2030. Increasing commercial applications of helicopters and helicopter fleet expansion strategy in the defense sector are driving the demand for airframe maintenance, engine maintenance, component maintenance, and line maintenance. In July 2023, the Indian army issued a tender to replace its Cheetah and Chetak helicopters with 20 modern light helicopters. In 2022, AdventHealth expanded its helicopter fleet in its ambulance fleet to cater to increasing demand from the growing population. Moreover, as per the data published by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association in 2022, the demand for commercial helicopters increased by ~7.4% from 2021, which totaled 876 deliveries in 2022. Thus, owing to the growing demand for helicopters in the commercial and defense sectors, the demand for helicopter MRO is projected to increase during the forecast period.
Helicopter MRO Market Analysis
Helicopter component manufacturers and MRO service providers offer services to civil and military aviation players. MRO services are essential for civil and military helicopters to ensure that they are maintained in predetermined conditions. The demand for MRO services is increasing as most of the military helicopters are grounded, and rescheduling a flight requires a prior check-up to ensure the aircraft is ready to take off. In order to provide robust maintenance services to various aircraft components, companies such as Lufthansa Technik AG, AAR Corp., and Rolls-Royce PLC are focusing on developing innovative services integrated with advanced technologies such as blockchain to fulfill the demand of commercial and military end users. RotorPlace, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited., Patria Group, Technovision Engineers Private Limited, KADEX Aero Supply, Jones Metal Products, Helicopter Spares, Blueberry Aviation, Indo Copters, and Sterling Helicopter are among the key helicopter spare parts providers. These suppliers offer helicopter parts to MRO service providers and helicopter manufacturers around the globe.
Helicopter MRO Market Overview
Commercial applications such as air ambulance, helicopter tourism, and offshore wind turbines are growing continuously. For instance, In October 2023, Wales Air Ambulance Charity announced the addition of its new helicopter. In 2022, Wales Air Ambulance announced that Gama Aviation Plc had won a seven-year aviation contract covering the operation and maintenance of a primary fleet of four Airbus H145 helicopters. The service now operates three H145 helicopters and one smaller H135 helicopter. The H135 aircraft will be modified to an H145 as part of the new contract.
On the other hand, helicopter fleet expansion activities by many developed nations are driving the helicopter MRO demand in the defense industry. For instance, in December 2022, the Defense Acquisition and Program Administration (DAPA) of South Korea and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) signed a US$ 234 million contract for the first stages of mass production for their Light Armed Helicopter (LAH). Thus, the factors mentioned above are projected to fuel the demand for helicopter MRO in the commercial and defense sectors.

Helicopter MRO Market Drivers and Opportunities
Increasing Demand for Helicopters
The demand for heavy helicopters is mainly driven by increasing adoption by the defense sector. In contrast, the demand for light helicopters is mainly driven by growing commercial applications such as air ambulance and tourism. Medium-sized helicopters are widely used in commercial as well as defense sectors. For instance, in May 2023, Corewell Health added a new Sikorsky S-76 C++ helicopter to its air ambulance fleet. In January 2023, Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin subsidiary, delivered the 5,000th "Hawk" variant helicopter, a US Army UH-60M Black Hawk. In the coming years, this aircraft will continue to fulfill medium-lift requirements for the US military and international operators. Thus, such activities are projected to create lucrative demand for light, medium, and heavy helicopters in the coming years.
Growing Research and Development Activities for Hybrid and Electric Helicopters
In January 2023, Arc Aerosystem announced the development of a hybrid slowed-rotor aircraft with an 800-mile range. Further, in October 2023, the US Air Force received an all-electric helicopter for experimental purposes. The Air Force and Joby Aviation, an aircraft manufacturer, will conduct joint testing to investigate the military possibilities. The Joby aircraft, with a range of up to 100 miles, plus energy reserves and a top speed of 200 mph, can transport a pilot and four passengers fast and quietly while emitting zero operating emissions. Development activities are expected to generate demand and increase the adoption of hybrid and electric helicopters in the coming years. Thus, the need for helicopter MRO services is expected to rise in the coming years owing to the complexity and delicacy of hybrid and electric helicopters.
