Which Primary Drivers Are Expected to Shape the Future of the Commercial Helicopters Market?
The rising usage of helicopters in emergency medical services (EMS), search and rescue (SAR), and firefighting operations is expected to drive the growth of the commercial helicopters market. Air EMS creates a significant part of the medical transport system that assists in shuttling patients, equipment, supplies, and medical personnel throughout the medical network for time-critical emergency transport as well as long-distance scheduled transfers. According to the MIT International Center for Air Transportation (ICAT), air ambulances transport approximately 400,000 patients by rotary-wing and 150,000 by fixed-wing aircraft each year in the USA, compared to 36 million transported by ground. Thus, the ever-increasing number of helicopters in EMS is one of the key drivers for the growth of the commercial helicopters market.
