The growth in the offshore wind power industry and launching of new products by the companies are also driving the market growth of Offshore Helicopters

Offshore wind power/offshore wind energy uses wind farms that are constructed in water bodies like the ocean to use wind energy to generate electricity. Costs involved with offshore wind power are decreasing faster than expected. Zero subsidy wind projects are also increasing nowadays and some require guaranteed contracts. There are many advantages of offshore wind power farms like they do not require water and they are good for the environment as they don’t release harmful gases. The growth in the offshore wind power industry is also driving the market growth for offshore Helicopters. Sikorsky S-92A of Lockheed Martin started its operations in Mexico in January 2019. Sikorsky-Boeing SB>1 DEFIANT helicopter took the first flight in Florida in March 2019. Lockheed Martin launched two new helicopters named S-92A+ and S-92B in March 2019. According to the reports, Europe installed 1.2 GW of offshore wind power in 2020 and the average offshore wind power installed in Europe for the previous three years was 1.5 GW which is more than that during covid-19. The covid-19 pandemic has hampered the offshore wind power industry as well as Europe is one of the leading regions of the world in the offshore helicopters market. The major countries installing offshore wind power are UK with 507 MW, Belgium with 235 MW, Netherlands with 224 MW and Germany with 213 MW installed during the covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

The high costs of new technology and strict regulations and regulations regarding the manufacturing of components of helicopters are hampering the market growth of Offshore Helicopters.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many industries due to the disruption in the supply chain, as there were full or partial lockdowns in many countries of the world, and restrictions across borders and closure of airports hampered world trade. Many companies couldn’t operate with proper covid norms. It was also difficult for staff and workers to work with social distancing norms. There was a shortage of workers and laborers in the world which decreased the demand for offshore helicopters as they are considered as the workforce for the offshore oil and gas industry as it is used to transport workers and staff from one installation to another and due to migration of workers to their homes the use of helicopters was limited and hence the demand for offshore helicopters in the oil and gas industry declined. There were also disruptions in the supply chain in the wind industry as exports from Asia to Europe was less and even production and assembly of components declined during the covid-19 pandemic. According to the reports, Europe installed 1.2 GW of offshore wind power in 2020 and the average offshore wind power installed in Europe for the previous three years was 1.5 GW which is more than that during covid-19. The covid-19 pandemic has hampered the offshore wind power industry as well as Europe is one of the leading regions of the world in the offshore helicopters market. The major countries installing offshore wind power are UK with 507 MW, Belgium with 235 MW, the Netherlands with 224 MW, and Germany with 213 MW installed during the covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
