Market forecasts by Region, Aircraft Type, and Fitment. Country Analysis, Market and Technology Overview including Supply Chains and Critical Raw Materials, Opportunities and Impact Analysis, and Leading Company Profiles.
Wildfires pose a growing threat to communities and ecosystems around the world with a major impact on safety and long-term liveability. Unlike other natural disasters, wildfires bring beneficial effects such as improving soil quality and clearing forest floors of dead organic matter. However, this is only true for low intensity fires which are becoming unique occurrences due to the warming of the planet.
To minimize the harmful effects of intensifying wildfires, human intervention is required. While in the past ground teams of wildland firefighters have been capable of controlling fires through prevention and containment methods, it is no longer the case.
This is where firefighting aircraft come into the equation, being able to attack fires from the sky and provide vital information that is unable to be assessed from the ground. Their role of supporting ground teams has hardly changed since aircraft were introduced to fire zones in the aftermath of WWII.
In modern times, firefighting aircraft have become crucial to the efforts of civil security agencies around the globe. Coupled with the rise in megafire instances the market for such aircraft is expected to reach double digit growth. Furthermore, the use of UAV's and connectivity technology is expected to alter the market as the use case in firefighting is developed.
As for the manufacturing landscape of such aircraft, it is heavily consolidated between three types of businesses with well-established supply chains. These being commercial aircraft manufacturers, airtanker conversion businesses, and dedicated firefighting aircraft manufacturers. Moreover, the creation of partnerships and joint ventures is very prevalent as they enable the latest and greatest technological developments to be implemented in the competitive industry.
