To provide the highest level of safety during helicopter landing and takeoff operations, the system is also designed to measure, compute, and show all significant weather variables and analyze helideck motion. The system may communicate with various weather sensors, including the direction of the wind, wind velocity, QFE/QNH Barometric, humid, and temperature monitoring, cloud height, and visibility motion. It has several uses in the maritime and oil and gas industries. These reasons are anticipated to drive global demand for this advanced system.
The increasing demand for helideck monitoring systems due to superior weather information and accurate data processing is expected to drive the helideck monitoring system market in the coming years. The expansion can be ascribed to factors such as an augmentation in commercial ships and vessels, increased global vessel traffic, and shorter hardware component maintenance cycles. The requirement for helideck monitoring systems to more accurately visualize the weather is growing due to increased oil and gas operations in an offshore setting, fueling market expansion.
Another important element driving the expansion of the market for helideck monitoring systems is the strict marine safety regulations. The device also offers helicopter pilots real-time data that can be useful during possible hazards in offshore activities, further fostering industry expansion. The demand for the helideck monitoring system has also been driven by the rise in the usage of rotary aircraft as a quick and secure mode of transportation and the requirement for equipment that aids in controlling the docking and flight time-management skills by analyzing meteorological and other conditions.
However, offshore operations are a little more complicated to land and take off from an offshore site and determine the weather conditions. As a result, more highly qualified people are needed. More than moving on a stable platform, landing and taking off from moving helidecks heavily demands airmanship skills. As a result, the market for helideck monitoring systems may grow slower than it could.
The COVID-19 virus outbreak has significantly impacted the industry, leading to decreased output, delayed product delivery, contracts on hold, and other issues. Due to interrupted supply chains, manufacturing halts, and the financial crisis, helicopter OEMs will likely deliver fewer helicopters than in normal years. Offshore-equipped and configured support helicopters suffered greatly due to the GDP recession, fewer contracts, and investments. All of these downturns are anticipated to have a negative impact on the market in the future years.
