Global 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Helicopter UAVs are a kind of UAVs that operate on the same flight principles as manned helicopters, using a single or coaxial rotor to generate vertical lift, partnered with a tail rotor to counter torque. 300 to 650 kg Helicopter UAVs are helicopter UAVs with a maximum takeoff weight between 300 and 650 kg.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs market finds that the global 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs market reached a value of USD 121.31 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 259.8 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.53% during the forecast period.

The negative impact of COVID-19 on the industry The COVID-19 outbreak has created a number of challenges for industrial manufacturers around the world, particularly those that rely on workers who cannot do their jobs remotely. Amid plummeting oil prices and demand, supply chain bottlenecks, slowing spending and volatile credit markets, some industrial companies have closed plants and considered the scope of layoffs to help contain the spread of the virus, as well as for economic reasons. The manufacturing sector has been hit hard by the outbreak for two main reasons. First, many manufacturing jobs including the production of 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs are performed on site and cannot be performed remotely. Second, the slowdown in economic activity has reduced the global demand for 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs. For companies, the suspension or slowdown in production activities of downstream companies will reduce the demand for UAVs. Meanwhile, for companies with a global supply chain strategy, the COVID-19 outbreak hinders the availability of raw materials.

Technical Challenges

The development of 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs faces a number of technical challenges, including precision landing, security, operation in adverse weather conditions, and inadequate infrastructure. Taking security issues as an example, GPS spoofing, electromagnetic attacks, and control channel hacking affect most UAV platforms, including personal platforms, industrial platforms, and even defense platforms. How manufacturers overcome the many technical challenges and produce reliable drones will be an ongoing challenge for the industry.

Relatively weak bargaining power

The main user groups of 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs are government departments and users in industry sectors such as agriculture and energy. Government departments use bidding to make purchases, evaluating and comparing vendors in various aspects such as performance capability, brand reputation, product performance, product price, service quality, and service delivery methods, etc. Government departments have more dominant power in this process, and the bargaining power of UAV vendors is not strong. In terms of industry applications, users purchase in the form of centralized purchases or batch purchases, and the bargaining power level of UAV manufacturers is greatly influenced by the volume of orders.

High exploitation costs and constant demand for expertise

High exploitation costs are the main inhibitor for the use of UAV in commercial and industrial applications. The high exploitation costs of 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs are driven by: (a) High design, implementation and testing costs for new UAVs. (b) High manufacturing costs, with low volume manufacturing driving up unit costs. (c) High maintenance costs, expensive and universally available spare parts. (d) Long maintenance and repair times due to limited availability of certain UAV-specific parts from a given manufacturer. (e) Expensive training of technicians to provide customized solutions to customers. (f) Limited choice of UAV platforms, partially suitable for the required tasks. Therefore, the industry in which 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs operates is a capital- and technology-intensive one, and the characteristics of the product and industry dictate that the company must increase its investment in research and development. In addition, as a high-tech enterprise, 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs supplier needs a number of production management, quality control, technology development and sales personnel with rich experience in this field, which is the basis for the continuous development and growth of 300 to 650kg Helicopter UAVs companies. The ability of manufacturers to continue to attract and retain highly qualified personnel is critical to the continued growth and sustainability of the company.
