Says Some Trends In The Report Are 'Striking'
Aviation market analyst JetNet has released year-end numbers for the pre-owned helicopter market for 2013, revealing what it says are a number of striking trends.
In advance of Heli-Expo 2014, JetNet is releasing their 2013 overview of the helicopter market, taken from their comprehensive global database of turbine and piston helicopters. Analysis of the full retail sale transactions for pre-owned helicopters reveals those markets experiencing double-digit declines in 2013 (-11.8% and -13.5%, respectively) compared to 2012.
The Turbine Helicopter market experienced an 11.4% increase in the number for sale in 2013 compared to 2012. From 2006 to 2012, the average days on market increased from 123 days to 432 days. However, in 2013 there was a reduction of 18 average days on the market compared to 2012. The percentage for sale also increased to 6.4% compared to 6.1% from just a year ago.
Across all original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), 2013 showed the total turbine market down by 11.8% compared to the same period in 2012. Eurocopter and Bell have the most pre-owned full sale transactions of all the OEMs, but they are showing the largest decreases. AgustaWestland is showing a significant increase in pre-owned full sale transactions in 2013 compared to 2012.
At the close of 2013, JetNet reported 29,365 helicopters in service, 19,809 of which are turbine powered, and 9,556 of which are piston powered. JetNet now tracks 134 separate civil helicopter models in 184 countries.
