Global Helicopter Simulator Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global helicopter simulator market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts that the global helicopter simulator market will grow at a modest CAGR of close to 3% by 2020. One of the key market drivers for this market is the increased need for safety and cost effectiveness in the aviation sector. Fluctuating fuel prices make hands-on training in helicopters very expensive. As a result, simulator-based training services are gaining popularity as they help aspiring pilots to learn more in an hour as compared to multiple hours of real flying. Since safety is always an important aspect of flying, regulatory bodies have made the use of simulators mandatory for novice pilots. This recent focus on cost effectiveness and safety will help in the growth of the simulators market during the forecast period.

In this industry research report, analysts have estimated factors like the rising need for high-fidelity simulation systems to propel market growth during the forecast period. High fidelity systems mimic the real world conditions and prepare pilots to handle all types of situations effectively. Advances in technology will lead to the advent of improved flight simulation systems, which use computer graphics and distributed computing to train novice pilots. In addition, factors like the mobile technologies will also lead to market growth as it allows training in environments that are more realistic.
