Introduction
Aerospace helmet mounted display is equipment that displays targeting and aircraft performance information, such as airspeed and altitude, directly to the pilot. It enables continuous viewing of the outside world while maintaining a watch over the aircraft status. The helmet mounted display mainly comprises a mounting platform or the helmet, an image source, relay optics, and a head-tracker. Companies, nowadays, are focused on making new helmet-mounted displays that are small in size and weigh less, which will aid pilots during longer missions with reduced fatigue. It is vital in combat aircraft since pilots are required to take split-second decisions and cannot afford to spend valuable time struggling with physical controls or a touch interface. Typically developed for fighter, bomber, and other combat aircraft, the application of this equipment is being embraced in commercial fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, and in business jets as well. Integration of night vision systems and focus on developing lightweight systems are the critical trends prevailing in the aerospace helmet mounted display systems market. Factors such as increasing adoption of AR technology in the aviation sector and increase in military spending, coupled with the rising demand for combat aircraft, are the prime driving factors of the aerospace helmet mounted display market. Meanwhile, issues associated with cognitive tunneling and increased use of drones hinder the market growth. However, the changing nature of modern warfare, from being weapon-centric to technology-centric, offers promising growth opportunities to the market.
Regional Analysis
The global aerospace helmet mounted display market is estimated to witness 12.36% CAGR during the forecast period, 2018-2027. In 2018, the market was led by North America with 33.59% share, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific with shares of 26.77% and 25.83%, respectively. Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing region for aerospace helmet mounted display market. In the recent years, countries in the Asia-Pacific region have been prone to extremist and insurgent threats as well as territorial disputes. There have been a high number of conflicts in the India-Pakistan border, India-China border along the Himalayas, the Indian Ocean, and the South China Sea. It has resulted in the deployment of large battalions of troops to such regions, to counter the rise in cross-border activities. Hence, countries in the region such as China, India, and South Korea are focusing on procuring fighter jets. Furthermore, China, Japan, and India, the three major defense hubs of the Asia-Pacific region, have increased their military expenses significantly, and have procured a number of advanced equipment.
