Market Growth Factors
The Germany helicopter services market is expected to augment due to the increased demand for aerial mobility solutions with the increase in urbanization and traffic congestion in the cities leading to the increased demand for helicopters for passenger transportation and goods transportation. Helicopter services are used by business and government agencies for commuter service to outlying areas, and for emergency medical services; these services are expanding rapidly, particularly in metropolitan areas with severe traffic congestion.
New technology for helicopters is another reason for future market growth opportunities. New rotorcraft designs are creating fuel savings, and making helicopters quieter and less intrusive. This has led to greater use of helicopters in many different industries including tourism, medical evacuation and logistics. The introduction of eVTOL aircraft for urban air mobility is expected to stimulate market growth along with several technological trends that are reducing the operational cost per trip for air transportation.
Another key driver is regulation and infrastructure building supported by the government. The German government is regularly updating regulation for the growing urban air mobility industry while ensuring very strong safety measures are in place. The market is often driven by public sector investment into emergency rescue services using helicopters, helipads and helidecks, an area that is constantly evolving and emerging for both national and international companies.
