Military Helicopters Market Trends
Multi-Mission Helicopter is the largest Body Type

The regional armed forces are also upgrading the capabilities of helicopters with cutting-edge technologies to gain a military advantage over enemies. Multi-mission helicopters are expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Multi-mission helicopters can be used for close air support for ground troops and anti-tank operations to destroy enemy armor.
- China, Japan, and India are expected to purchase most of the helicopters in the Asia-Pacific region during the forecast period. Some of the procurements are China's 500 Russian Mi-17 helicopters by 2039 and Japan's purchase of 150 Bell 412 helicopters. Around 102 helicopters will likely be purchased by India, including 24 MH-60Rs, 34 Dhruv ALHs, 26 SA-315s, 12 Dornier 228s, and 6 AH-64Es.

North America is the largest Region
- The rotorcraft accounted for around 40% of the global military aircraft fleet in 2021. The international security horizon in the second half of 2021 was marked by escalating conflicts and geopolitical and border issues, with major confrontations such as between Russia and Ukraine, India and China, and other nations in Asia-Pacific. The armed conflicts and internal security aided in the surge of defense expenditures globally, with nations strengthening their armed forces with new procurements of rotorcraft.
- The world defense expenditure crossed over USD 2 trillion in 2021, with major military powers such as the United States surging their defense budget by 3%, from USD 778 billion in 2020 to over USD 800 billion in 2021. The United States was followed by China, India, Russia, and the United Kingdom, which also increased their defense expenditures by 14%, 5%, 6.8%, and 13%, respectively.
- In 2022, the war between Russia and Ukraine further fueled the need to reassess the operational readiness of the armed forces globally. NATO nations are undergoing fleet modernization and expansion programs with the procurement of new rotorcraft in the process.
- Europe, the Middle East, and Africa were the major regions with a growth of 2%,8%, and 8%, respectively, in their active rotorcraft aircraft fleet. Thus, due to such developments, the global rotorcraft aircraft market is expected to increase during 2022-2028.
