Helicopter Simulator Market Overview, Manufacturing Cost Structure Analysis, Growth Opportunities -2027
Helicopter Simulator Market Research Report: Information by Type
(Motion Simulator and Fixed-Base Simulator), Component (Cockpit, Control
System, Visual System and Instruments and Panels), Platform (Commercial and
Military) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and
Middle East & Africa) - Forecast to 2027 by MRFR
Market Overview
Global Helicopter Simulator Market is expected
to be valued at USD 851.8 Million by 2026 and grow at a 3.76%
CAGR during the forecast period.
In recent years, there have been numerous
helicopter accidents across the world. According to the Flight Global database,
around 19% of the total helicopter accidents during training occurred in the US
in 2016, which is increasing the demand for safe pilot training solutions, such
as simulators.
Segmental Analysis
Global Helicopter Simulator Market has been
segmented on the basis of Type, Component, and Platform.
Based on type, the helicopter simulator market
has been segmented into motion simulator and fixed-base simulator. The motion
simulator segment dominated the market with a valuation of USD 383.5 million in
2019 and is expected to reach USD 504.1 million by 2026. A motion simulator
provides a real helicopter flying experience to the pilot. Motion simulators
provide movement in all six degrees of freedom (DOF)—three rotational and three
translational or linear—that can be experienced by an object that is free to
move, such as an aircraft.
Based on component, the global helicopter
simulator market has been classified into visual system, control system,
cockpit, and instruments and panels. The visual system segment is expected to
exhibit the highest CAGR of 3.0% during the forecast period. Visual systems include
spherical and cylindrical direct view displays that are used in fixed-base and
motion simulators. Display systems also include multi-channel seamless blended
projectors. Some fixed-base simulator manufacturers, such as Ryan Aerospace,
provide VR goggles instead of large displays.
Based on platform, the global helicopter
simulator market has been divided into commercial and military. The commercial
segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 4.21% during the forecast
period. The demand for commercial helicopters has been increasing over the past
few years. According to Honeywell’s Turbine-Powered Civilian Helicopter
Purchase Outlook, around 4,100 civil helicopters were delivered across the
world between 2012 and 2016. Furthermore, in 2017, Bell Helicopter Textron Inc.
delivered 132 commercial helicopters compared to 114 in 2016. Due to the
increasing demand and sales of commercial helicopters, there has been a notable
rise in demand for helicopter simulators.
Regional Analysis
The geographic analysis of the global helicopter
simulator market covers North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the rest
of the world.
North America led the helicopter simulator
market with a valuation of USD 228.3 million in 2019, and the regional market
is projected to reach USD 296.3 million by 2026 at a CAGR of 3.88% during the
forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the presence of major
manufacturers, such as CAE, Inc., Frasca International, Inc., and TRU
Simulation+Training, Inc., in the region.
Europe was the second-largest market with a
valuation of USD 182.8 million in 2019. The regional market is projected to
exceed USD 231.6 million by 2026 at 3.52% CAGR during the review period. The
market growth in the region is driven by the increase in the number of
helicopters in the region that will increase the requirement for helicopter
simulators for pilot training.
Competitive Analysis
The key players in the global helicopter simulator
market are CAE Inc. (Canada), Thales Group (France), TRU Simulation+Training
Inc. (US), FRASCA International Inc. (US), Ryan Aerospace (Australia), Reiser
Simulation and Training GmbH (Germany), ELITE Simulation Solutions AG
(Switzerland), Fidelity Flight Simulation Incorporated (US), FLYIT Simulators
Inc. (US), FlyThisSim Inc. (US), and iSim Limited (New Zealand).
Key Developments
In January 2019, FRASCA International Inc. partnered with
Garmin Ltd to incorporate G1000 NXi software into its new reconfigurable
training device (RTD). FRASCA RTD is an FAA-approved AATD; It can convert into
two different aircraft models.
In October 2018, TRU Simulation + Training Inc. and
FlightSafety International, an aviation training company based in the US, announced
plans to form a joint venture to provide training solutions for Textron
aviation’s broad product portfolio and general aviation aircraft.
