Study Overview

To facilitate a deeper understanding of the current situation and future prospects of the helicopter industry for industry professionals or investors, Chinacuity has released the "2025-2031 China Helicopter Industry Market Supply and Demand Status and Future Trends Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"). This comprehensive report offers an in-depth analysis of China's helicopter market, derived from Chinacuity's extensive years of continuous tracking, field visits, surveys, and analysis.
Chinacuity's research team conducted data collection through various channels, such as annual reports of listed companies, factory surveys, distributor discussions, and expert validation, ensuring the accuracy and reference value of the helicopter industry data. The data was analyzed from multiple perspectives to deeply examine all aspects of the industry, allowing stakeholders to understand the development trends in the helicopter sector in 2023 and identify emerging innovations, thus enabling industry participants to stay ahead in the transformation race.

What is a Helicopter?

A helicopter is an aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing, hovering, and flying in inclined directions. Unlike traditional fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters generate lift through rotating blades, allowing for unique vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. Helicopters can be classified based on their usage into general-purpose, military, and medical rescue helicopters. They can also be categorized by rotor configuration into single-rotor, twin-rotor, and coaxial rotor types, by engine type into piston and turbine helicopters, by design characteristics into light, medium, and heavy helicopters, and by propulsion type into single-engine and twin-engine helicopters.

Industry Development

In recent years, significant progress has been made in China's helicopter development, overcoming many core technical challenges and gradually reaching a leading position on the world stage. The Chinese helicopter industry has entered a period of rapid growth, with extensive applications in both civilian and military fields. In the military market, Chinese helicopters play a crucial role in providing various types for the armed forces. In 2022, China's military helicopter fleet grew from 809 units in 2016 to 913 units, with market share decreasing from 56.57% in 2016 to 47.09%. The forecast for 2023 indicates a further reduction to 46.72%.
With growing demands in civil aviation and general aviation, Chinese helicopter manufacturers are seeking opportunities in the civilian market, offering products for transportation, tourism, and medical rescue. In 2022, the civilian helicopter fleet (including training aircraft) expanded from 621 units in 2016 to 1,026 units, with market share increasing from 43.43% to 52.91%. It is expected that by 2023, the market share of civilian helicopters in China will reach approximately 53.28%.

Competitive Landscape

Historically, due to weak foundations and strict low-altitude airspace controls, China's helicopter industry has lagged, with a small fleet size and a significant market share captured by Western manufacturers. In comparison with global standards, China's helicopter ownership and usage are still low, leaving a vast potential market untapped. The technological foundation for helicopters originates mainly from Europe and the United States, and China has been learning and tracking advanced helicopter technology from the West. In recent years, the pace of helicopter technology development in China has accelerated significantly, with the establishment of a comprehensive system for evaluating, researching, and producing new generations of helicopters. The "family" of Chinese helicopters continues to expand, with local research institutions and universities playing a crucial role in technological innovation and development. These institutions collaborate with manufacturers to drive technological progress. Emerging markets such as China are gradually gaining prominence in the helicopter manufacturing sector.
Key players in the Chinese helicopter market include:
1. Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC, 中国航空工业集团有限公司) - Specializes in helicopters such as the AC311, AC352, AC312, and AC313.
2. China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation (CATIC, 中国航空技术进出口总公司) - Known for its various helicopter models used in transportation, rescue, and other sectors.
3. Harbin Aircraft Industry Group (HAIG, 哈尔滨飞机工业集团有限公司) - One of China's leading helicopter manufacturers, with strengths in military and civilian helicopters.
4. Guangzhou Haige Communications Group Incorporated Company (广哈通信股份有限公司) - Focuses on unmanned aerial vehicles and helicopters.

Industry Trends and Potential

In recent years, policy support from the Chinese government has played a vital role in helicopter technology R&D, industry development, and market promotion. Government policies have facilitated industry innovation and improved competitiveness. Helicopters are gaining significance in both the national economy and defense, with various emergency situations highlighting the need for rapid response capabilities where helicopter technology plays an irreplaceable role.
The helicopter industry in China is expected to continue its technological innovation to enhance performance and safety. The adoption of technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing will improve operational efficiency, flight safety, and customer service levels, accelerating the industry’s digital transformation. In the future, China may promote the integration of military and civilian technology, applying military innovations in civilian fields. Helicopters are also anticipated to play a more significant role in urban air mobility, addressing traffic congestion.
