Market Summary
Overview
A hybrid aircraft is a powered aircraft that obtains some of its lift as a heavier-than-air aerodyne, and some as a lighter-than-air airship. Dynastats and Rotastats are the two types of hybrid aircraft based on its design. A dynastat is an aircraft, typically intended for long-endurance flights. A dynastat hybrid aircraft is designed with lifting body or/and fixed wings. To create the aerodynamic lift type, it requires forward flight. Where, rotastat aircraft typically intended for heavy lift applications. A rotastat is designed with rotary wings.
Value
The hybrid aircraft market was valued at around USD 540 million in the year 2016 and it is expected to reach approximately USD 1,200 million by 2025. The global hybrid aircraft market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of more than 9.2% between 2017 and 2025.
Drivers and Restraints
The major factor driving the increasing environment concerns. Emissions from commercial transport account for approximately 1.5% of the global carbon dioxide footprint, and are expected to increase as air traffic and trade grows. The Hybrid aircraft is non-rigid, with no internal structure providing its shape, and it is heavier than air. The 80% of its lift is generated by helium, and 20 percent is from the aerodynamic design of the envelope. The fuel consumption by the hybrid aircraft is much lower than commercial aircrafts, and hence helps to save the fuel and minimal emission of gas in environment. The rising environment concern globally is expected to develop demand for hybrid aircraft over the forecasted period.
Moreover, the increasing terrorism across the world is also expected to propel the growth of market globally. The special forces and defense of various countries are strengthening their countermeasures to combat threats from antagonistic groups.
However, the high cost of developments of hybrid aircraft may restrict the growth of the global hybrid aircraft market.
Segmentation
Rotastat and Dynastat and are the types of hybrid aircraft. The dynastat type of hybrid aircraft has advantages over roast at such as better fuel efficiency and low maintenance cost. The Dynastats hybrid aircraft accounted major share in the global hybrid aircraft market and expected to remain dominant during the forecast period.
The unmanned hybrid aircraft segment by technology is expected to register high CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing adoption of unmanned aircraft for secret and national security operations and for long flights is expected to propel the growth of segment during the forecast period in the global market.
The hybrid aircraft can fly for longer than three weeks; hence they are highly used for long-endurance flights. The commercial tours segment accounted major share in the global hybrid aircraft market by application. The rising demand for long flights will boost the growth of segment in global hybrid aircraft market over the forecast period.
The North America is estimated to account major share in the global hybrid aircraft market followed by Europe. The rising investment and strategic partnership in Europe to develop hybrid aircraft is the key factor contributing towards the high share of the region in the global market. In March 2016, the Lockheed Martin Corp. has signed a selling deal with Skunk Works division for development of hybrid aircrafts.
The increasing terrorism and growing economy are expected to propel the growth of Asia Pacific in the global market over the forecast period.
