The proliferation of advanced patient transportation methods that involve helicopters in rescue and medical support services bolsters the growth of the market for helicopter emergency medical services. In emergencies where a location is inaccessible, helicopters equipped with hoist systems can transport medical supplies, equipment, or personnel to help treat victims on-site. Thus, the growing adoption of helicopters in medical emergency services is driving the growth of the helicopter hoists, winches, and hooks market.
The report runs an in-depth analysis of market trends, key players, and future opportunities. The rising investments in aerial firefighting, growth of helicopter emergency medical services, and the expansion of offshore wind energy capacity are some of the major drivers of market growth.
Overview of Helicopter Hoists Winches and Hooks Market Report Findings
- The Rising Investments in Aerial Firefighting: Modern aerial firefighting tactics heavily rely on helicopters, especially for supply drop operations, search and rescue missions, and wildfire management, among others. Heavy water buckets and other firefighting supplies can be transported to the fire zone by helicopters fitted with hoists. In addition to proactively managing forests and guaranteeing their general health, aerial firefighting service providers can mitigate the spread of wildfires and lessen their intensity.
Governments of various countries focus on funding forest preservation projects or investing in the same, protecting these geologies from wildfires. In November 2023, the European Council announced the extension of funding for firefighting planes and helicopters until 2027. Similarly, in January 2024, the US Deputy Secretary of the Interior announced its plans to invest US$ 138 million in combating forest fires and mitigation.
In January 2025, Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc., a prominent player in the US aerial firefighting sector with a market capitalization of US$178 million, grabbed a five-year contract worth US$20.1 million with the US Department of the Interior. Such investments are anticipated to propel the procurement of aerial firefighting helicopters, in turn driving the demand for helicopter hoists, winches, and hooks. Thus, rising investments in the aerial firefighting sector bolster the helicopter hoists, winches, and hooks market. - Growth of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services: Private hospitals and care centers are more focused on investing in improving infrastructure to be able to establish advanced facilities such as helicopter ambulance services. Hospitals are building new helipads to ensure the smooth service of helicopters to cater to critical patients in a time of need. For instance, in February 2024, Sofia's St. Ekatherina Hospital launched a licensed helipad on the roof as a part of the helicopter emergency medical services.In August 2023, UNM Hospital initiated the construction of a new helipad on the emergency care centre with the purpose of improving lifesaving services across New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. In June 2023, HELP Appeal donated US$509,456.4 to the Mull and lona Community Hospital to construct helipads to cater to air ambulance facilities.
In September 2023, lizuka City Hospital in Japan constructed a new helicopter landing pad for providing air ambulance services. Standard helicopter landing sites at hospitals are extremely important to confirm that patients receive timely access to emergency care. Thus, the growing emphasis on establishing proper infrastructure to support helicopter ambulance services is anticipated to boost the procurement of helicopters in the medical industry worldwide. In March 2025, Airbus Helicopters and Global Medical Response (GMR) signed an agreement for up to 15 H140 helicopters, which will be deployed in emergency medical services. Thus, flourishing emergency medical services benefit the helicopter hoist, winches, and hooks market. - Expansion of Offshore Wind Energy Capacity: The Offshore Wind Energy Market Report, published by American Clean Power Association (ACP) in 2024 illustrates the detailed landscape of new offshore wind projects in the US; there are almost 37 leases in the country, which account for more than 58 GW of capacity.
As of June 2024, all projects in development came online; the additional generation capacity is anticipated to offer enough electricity to power the equivalent of 22 million homes. However, the US continues to lag behind other countries in operating offshore wind capacity. As a result, the country is ramping up offshore wind energy projects to play a crucial role in an energy system powered by clean power.
The US is investing US$65 billion in the development, construction, and operations of offshore wind projects, which are anticipated to create more than 56,000 jobs by 2030. According to International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) statistics, as of 2022, a collective 63 GW of offshore wind capacity was installed globally, and the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) produced from offshore wind was brought down by 59% in the period 2010–2022. Various countries are focusing on the expansion of their offshore wind capacity to contribute to the global goal of achieving offshore wind capacity of 494 GW and 2,465 GW by 2030 and 2050, respectively, in compliance with IRENA's (i.e., International Renewable Energy Agency) 1.5°C scenario. - Geographical Insights: In 2024, North America led the market with a substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, respectively. Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
