2015MARKET FORECAST
HONEYWELL’s positive
5-year forecast- Forecasts Steady Global Helicopter Demand
For Next Five Years
A Bristow Helicopters EC225LP at Aberdeen Airport.In its 17th annual Turbine-Powered Civil
Helicopter Purchasing Outlook, Honeywell
Aerospace (NYSE: HON) expects that 4,750-5,250
civilian-use helicopters will be delivered during
2015-2019.Overall, five-year demand for turbine-powered,
civil helicopters remains steady versus the 2014
five-year forecast, with moderate improvement in
new helicopter purchase plans reported, offset-
ting the short-term uncertainty of large-fleet
operators in the face of lower energy prices and
fluctuating market currencies.The forecast estimates the five-year share of
demand from the U.S. and Canada at 34 percent,
up nearly eight points on stronger North
American buying plans. When combined with
Latin America, the Western Hemisphere
represents 53 percent of the five-year global
demand. Europe’s share tallies 24 percent, with
the Asia-Oceania region accounting for 14
percent, and Africa and the Middle East
contributing 9 percent.Operators who intend to purchase a helicopter
within the next five years noted that the age of
their current aircraft (which includes factors such
as maintenance costs, performance erosion and
safety concerns), contracted replacement cycle
and warranty expiration were all key reasons for
their decision. For those surveyed, make and
model choices for their new aircraft are strongly
influenced by range, cabin size, performance
technology upgrades and brand experience.
“Near-term demand appears stable despite a
pullback in 2014 deliveries and ongoing concerns
with the energy sector,” said Mike Madsen,
president, Defense and Space, Honeywell
Aerospace. “Purchase interest for helicopters in
training, tourism, firefighting and law enforcement
categories is trending up, influenced by increased
utilization rates and helicopter replacement
cycles. Interest across these mission sectors is
helping to sustain near-term demand. Looking
ahead, several new platforms are scheduled to
enter service over the next few years, also
bolstering overall helicopter demand.”Region-Specific ResultsAgustaWestland AW169 corporate helicopter.Based on the relative sizes and directions of new
purchase-rate changes, demand estimates
increased modestly compared with 2014.
Purchase rates in three of five regions tracked
increased to various degrees, while two regions
experienced moderate declines in new helicopter
purchase rates planned for the next five years.
However, large fleet or “mega” operator require-
ments not captured in the survey offset some of
the improved purchase planning results provided
by survey respondents. The tumultuous changes
in the energy sector, as well as emerging regional
growth and political issues, have affected fleet
expansion plans in select areas and are restrain-
ing some of the near-term expansion that was
expected a year ago. As a result, total projected
demand in the 2015 outlook remains roughly in
line with 2014.“With near-term demand for new helicopters run-
ning close to recent volumes, and aircraft lasting
longer through replacement cycles, Honeywell isready to support both new installations and fleet
upgrades worldwide,” Madsen said. “Our propul-
sion, safety, navigation, communications and
flight services can help aircraft stay efficient,
powerful, reliable and safe throughout their
entire time in the air.”North American purchase expectations rose
seven points in this year’s survey and provided a
strong base of demand for light single and twin-
engine platforms. Planned improvement in North
American purchases is a significant finding of
the 2015 survey and helps support overall indus-
try demand projections by virtue of the large
fleet active in North America.European purchase plans also increased despite
ongoing weakness in reported Russian buying
plans. The sample of Russian operators
responding in 2014 fell to very low levels, which
continues to add some uncertainty to the overall
European results. European purchase intentions
currently tend to favor light single-engine and
medium twin-engine models.Latin America continues to have strong fleet
replacement and growth expectations, well
above the world average, but 2015 results were
a few points lower than the prior year. In terms of
projected regional demand for new helicopters,
Latin America is contributing the third highest
demand among the regions tracked, trailing
North America and Europe by a modest margin.
Latin American respondents currently favor light
single-engine models and a balance of light and
medium twin-engine platforms.Middle East and Africa leads all regions in new
purchase rates, with up to 32 percent of respon-
dent fleets slated for turnover with a new heli-
copter replacement or addition.
Demand in BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India
and China) continues to ebb and flow with
stronger results recorded for India in the 2015
survey, while planned Brazilian and Chinese pur-
chase rates slipped moderately, reflecting near-
term slower economic growth prospects. In both
cases, new helicopter purchase-plan rates still
exceed the world average.Operator Preferences by Class
of HelicopterLight single-engine helicoptersSloane Helicopters operates the Robinson R66.•Light single-engine helicopters continue to be
the most popular helicopter class, garnering
almost half the new purchase interest in the
2015 survey. The Airbus EC130/AS350 series,
Bell 407, Bell 505 and Robinson R66 were the
most frequently mentioned models.Intermediate and medium twin-engine
helicoptersPolice version of Bell 412 CP.•Intermediate and medium twin-engine helicop-
ters are the second most popular product class,
with approximately 31 percent of total survey
participants planning to buy a new model of this
type. The most frequently mentioned models
were the AW139, AW169, Bell 412, EC145T2 and
Sikorsky S-76 series. Emerging super-medium-
class helicopters such as the AW189, Bell 525
and EC175 rely on large fleet operators in the
energy, natural resource, and search and rescue
sectors for substantial portions of their demand,
and may be underrepresented in the current
survey sample. Near-term interest may be volatile
based on conditions in the energy markets.
