Market Share of Helicopter Engines Industry
The helicopter engines market is semi-consolidated and marked by the presence of prominent players including Safran, Pratt & Whitney (RTX Corporation), General Electric Company, Rolls-Royce plc, and Honeywell International Inc. Efforts are being made by the existing players to increase the efficiency and time between overhauls of the engines, which may help them grab new contracts with the helicopter OEMs.
In the military sector, many local manufacturers are trying to produce new-generation indigenous turboshaft engines for their military helicopters. For example, Turkey and India are developing their indigenous helicopter engines. As the relatively new players are capturing the market share, established players, to maintain their market dominance, need to expand in the untapped markets and increase their product innovation through significant R&D investments.
For instance, in March 2021, Honeywell was awarded a four-year indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract worth USD 476 million to Honeywell for new production and spare T55-GA-714A engines that power the U.S. Army's CH-47 Chinook helicopters.
