Strategy Orientation - Civil Helicopters & Rotorcrafts - 2014 - World's 5 Leading Civil Helicopter & Rotorcraft Manufacturers - Key Strategies, Plans, Strategic Focus, Trends & Insights, Strategic Outlook - Airbus Helicopters, AgustaWestland, Bell, Sikorsky, Russian Helicopters
1. The Global Civil Helicopter Segment being Driven by the Development of New Platforms by OEMs & Replacement Demand emanating from the Offshore Oil & Gas Exploration Sector:-
The global civil helicopter & rotorcraft industry segment is being driven by the development of new helicopter platforms by OEMs offering enhanced performance capabilities while reducing operating economics significantly. Key global OEMs are deploying an array of strategies aimed at enhancing cost effectiveness at their end while simultaneously optimizing vale for their global operator base.
Helicopter Platform Strategy:
OEMs are increasingly pursuing a Helicopter Platform/Family Strategy aimed at reducing the development & production costs by leveraging commonalities across components & systems while simultaneously also reducing the training & operational costs for the operators. Eurocopter’s Super Puma family & AgustaWestland’s helicopter family triad comprising of AW139, AW169 & AW189 have seen significant success over the recent years. Industry OEMs have been placing greater significance on the civil segment with defense budgets under pressure globally. AgustaWestland, for instance, is likely to witness & is preparing for a significant shift with its revenues likely to be split 50:50 amongst military & civil segment by 2021 as against 75:25 at present. Additionally, AW’s upcoming AW609 tiltrotorcraft and the pursuit of advanced R&D projects, like Project Zero, incorporating cutting-edge technologies, besides the development of experimental compund helicopter platforms by Sikorsky & Eurocopter with their X2 & X3 programs is likely to have a significant impact on the evolution of the civil helicopter & rotorcraft segment over medium term.
Common Platform Architecture Strategy for Civil & Military Helicopter Segments by OEMs:
OEMs are also increasingly pursuing a common platform architecture strategy for civil & military helicopter segments intending to jettison development costs involved in scratch up programs and creating an affordable, customizable military helicopter solution package amid ongoing pressure on defense budgetary spending. The Super Puma helicopter family by Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter) & the development of military versions of the AW139, AW169 & AW189 programs by AgustaWestland are prominent examples of the same.
Further, the industry OEMs are also working towards diversifying their global industrial footprint with the setting up of JV based manufacturing facilities across emerging markets to capitalize on potential growth opportunities effectively besides reinforcing & expanding their global service & sustainment support infrastructure to sustain anticipated business growth.
