Press Release

Middleweight Segment Dominated the Offshore Helicopter Services Market in 2022

Increasing Offshore Oil and Gas Activities & growing need for Demand for Remote Access propelling the Global Offshore Helicopter Services Market growth, during the forecast period.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Global Offshore Helicopter Services Market - By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2029”. The Global Offshore Helicopter Services Market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. Offshore helicopter services provide a means of accessing remote and isolated offshore locations that are not easily reachable by other modes of transportation. The cornerstone of the offshore helicopter services market's growth is the global demand for energy, particularly oil and gas. As economies expand, industries evolve, and populations grow, the thirst for energy resources continues to rise. Oil remains a primary source of energy for industries, transportation, and everyday life. This sustained demand drives energy companies to explore new frontiers and extract resources from offshore locations. The growing demand for oil has led energy companies to extend their operations to offshore areas where vast reserves are found beneath the ocean floor. Exploring and drilling in these regions necessitates the deployment of skilled personnel and specialized equipment. Offshore helicopter services are essential for transporting geologists, engineers, and drilling crews to these remote installations, enabling them to assess potential reserves and conduct drilling operations. Once oil and gas reserves are tapped, the production phase begins. Maintaining production levels requires regular maintenance, inspections, and repairs on offshore platforms. Helicopter services facilitate the transportation of maintenance crews, spare parts, and equipment, ensuring the continuous operation of facilities even in challenging maritime environments. The nature of offshore operations involves personnel working on a rotational basis. Helicopter services enable smooth crew changes, allowing fresh personnel to replace those completing their shifts. This rotational strategy ensures a consistent workforce and optimized productivity.

July 2022: China's CITIC Offshore Helicopter Corporation purchased four AW139 helicopters for offshore oil and gas production. In 2023, four AW139  helicopters with an offshore configuration are scheduled to arrive. The acquisition brings ten helicopters to the COHC Leonardo fleet, including eight AW139, one AW169 and one AW109 Power helicopter.

Based on Type, the market is divided into light, medium and heavy. In 2022, the middleweight segment dominated the market share. Medium helicopters are larger than light helicopters and have a maximum takeoff weight of  6,000 to 18,000 pounds. They are used in applications such as search and rescue, law enforcement, firefighting and more. The medium-weight segments are expected to grow steadily as the demand for versatile helicopters in the offshore industry increases. The light helicopter is designed to be small, agile and easy to control, with a maximum take-off weight of less than 6,000 pounds. Light helicopters are estimated to be the fastest growing segment globally due to  increasing demand for control and surveillance applications.

By end-user industry, the market is segmented into oil and gas industry, offshore wind industry and others. The oil and gas industry segment dominates the market in the base year due to increasing demand  for crew and cargo helicopter services. The offshore wind industry segment will grow significantly during the forecast period. The  growth of the segment is driven by the expansion of the offshore wind industry worldwide. Moreover, an increase in the  demand for renewable energy is  expected to nullify the growth of the segment.

“Offshore environments pose inherent risks, and in the event of emergencies such as fires, equipment failures, or medical crises, helicopter services are vital for evacuating personnel to safety. These services are a crucial component of emergency response plans, ensuring the well-being of individuals on offshore installations. Beyond personnel transportation, helicopter services also provide logistical support by delivering equipment, supplies, and provisions to offshore installations. This includes everything from essential machinery to daily necessities like food and medical supplies. The synergy between the offshore helicopter services market and the growing oil and gas demand is evident in the way each sector supports the other. The energy sector's unceasing need for resources drives investments in offshore exploration and drilling, which in turn generates demand for helicopter services. These services enable the timely movement of skilled workers and critical resources, contributing to the overall efficiency of offshore operations. Owing to which the market is growing with a high CAGR.,” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research-based global management consulting firm.
