Utility Aircraft Market Trend Growth Revenue, 2020 | Key Player Review, Business Prospect, & Forecast till 2030
Utility Aircraft Market Research Report: Information by Type (Fixed-Wing and Rotary-Wing [Light, Medium Lift, and Heavy Lift]), Application (Commercial [Agriculture, Air Freight, Passenger Transportation, Medical Support, and Others] and Non-commercial [Peacekeeping, Search & Rescue, Firefighting, Military Logistics, Air Assault, Command & Control, Troop Transportation, andHumanitarian Aid]), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa,and Latin America)—Forecast till 2027
Market Forecast
Utility aircraft
market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.2% between 2021
and 2027. A utility aircraft is a general-purpose aircraft used for cargo
& passenger transportation, peacekeeping, firefighting, humanitarian aid,
and agricultural applications. Also, these are employed for a wide range of
military applications, includingmilitary logistics, command & control,air
assault, and troop transportation. 
These aircraftusually
have a small capacity.
The increasing
military expenditure and growing air freight demand are primarily driving the
growth of the global utility aircraft market. There has been robust growth in
military spending from governments across the world for bolstering their
military capabilities. The military budgets are expected to remain stable and
witness incremental growth in the coming years despite the shock to the global
economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant portion of this rising
military budget has been towards the modernization of military aircraft and
equipment. Much of this can be attributed to the growing need for new and
improved utility aircraft for a wide range of military operations.
As per SIPRI, the
overall military expenditure across the globe rose to USD 1,981 billion in
2020, registering an increase of 2.6% over 2019 figures. The world GDP reduced
by nearly 4.2%, primarily owed to the shocks to the economic growth caused by
the emergence of the pandemic in the same period. As a result, the military
burden, calculated as military expenditure as a share of GDP, witnessed an
increase of 0.2%, reaching a global average of 2.4% in 2020. The 0.2% increment
in military expenditure was the largest year-on-year military burden increment
since 2009’s global economic crisis.
The US alone
sanctioned military budgets of nearly USD 778 billion in 2020, registering a
4.4% increase over 2019 and a major share of 39.27% in the overall world
military expenditure in 2020. Increasing investment in R&D and rising focus
on military modernization, including military equipment and aircraft, and
large-scale procurement of arms. China had the second-highest military budget,
with its military expenditure estimated to be around SD 252 billion in 2020.
Even after the shock to the GDP growth caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the
majority of the countries plan to continue increasing their military
expenditure over the coming years. Amidst the rising geopolitical tensions and
military spending towards R&D, the major economies are expected to continue
increasing their military spending to bolster their military capabilities,
thereby driving the growth of the global utility aircraft market during the
forecast period.

Segmental Analysis
By System Type
The fixed-wing
segment is expected to witness considerable growth in the market: The fixed-wing
segment is anticipated to register significant growth over the forecast
timeline. Growing air freight demand and increasing application of fixed-wing
utility aircraft are expected to contribute to the growth of the fixed-wing
segment.
The rotary-wing
segment held a significant market share in 2020: The rotary-wing
segment accounted for a considerable market share in 2020. Increasing demand
for utility helicopters for military applications, ranging from logistics and
troop transportation to air assault and command & control. The utility
helicopters are often equipped with effective weaponry and precision sensors to
carry out a range of complex missions during a single flight. Rotary-wing
utility aircraft are often preferred over their fixed-wing counterparts for
operations, such as escort, search & rescue, and aerial reconnaissance. In
addition, these kinds of utility aircraft are also used for counter-terrorism,
personnel transport, and disaster relief operations. Moreover, these are also
employed by government departments in various roles to support their
operations.
By Application
The commercial
segment is likely to register significant growth in the market: The commercial
segment is forecasted to have considerable growth in the coming years during
the forecast period. Much of this can be ascribed to the growing demand for
utility aircraft for various applications, including agriculture, air freight,
passenger transportation, medical support, among others.
Some of the utility
aircraft are specifically designed or customized for agriculture applications,
particularly aerial applications of fertilizers and/or pesticides. Such utility
aircraft are often referred to as crop dusters. These usually include
fixed-wing aircraft. However, rotary-wing utility aircraft or helicopters are
used for agricultural applications.
Also, utility
aircraft are being employed for air medical support. These aircraft, including
airplanes and helicopters, are used to move patients from accident scenes to
hospitals or other healthcare facilities. Such aircraft are also used to
provide urgent medical support in remote areas that do not have needed medical
facilities nearby.
The non-commercial
segment accounted for a considerable share in 2020: The non-commercial
segment held a significant market share in 2020.It comprises peacekeeping,
search & rescue, firefighting, military logistics, air assault, command
& control, troop transportation, humanitarian aid.
Utility aircraft that
are used in firefighting applications comprise airplanes as well as
helicopters. These are part of an aerial firefighting fleet, primarily leased
or owned by concerned government authorities. These are used to provide
assistance to rescue teams with search & rescue and evacuation operations.
