Collins Aerospace’s Goodrich 44318 hoists were recently (2020) chosen by three of California’s premier firefighting agencies as the rescue hoist aboard new helicopters. Like Collin Aerospace, there are other manufacturers who are focusing extensively on R&D to effectively cater the growing requirement. This will help them to strengthen their position in the market along with increasing their overall revenue.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Rescue Hoists and Cargo Winches Market
From the rescue hoists and cargo winches market player’s perspective, the situation has been worsened by the substantial disruption in component supply chain. Since, the rescue hoist and cargo winches are electro-mechanical products, the disruption in electronics and mechanical parts supply chain due to border closures have negatively impacted the production volumes of rescue hoists and cargo winches. This factor has hindered the growth of rescue hoists and cargo winches market. The lower production of helicopter volumes resulted in less than usual demand for rescue hoists and cargo winches among the helicopter manufacturers. According to General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), the helicopter shipment dropped by 19.2% from 2019 to 2020. Further, several fixed wing aircraft such as Boeing C17 and Embraer KC-390 and others that use cargo winches also experienced lower production in 2020. Thus, lower output of fixed wing aircraft and helicopters resulted in a drop in demand for rescue hoists and cargo winches, thereby negatively impacting the growth of the market in 2020.
