Market Overview:
The global commercial airships market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for airships for commercial applications such as cargo transport, advertisement, and tourism. Additionally, the increasing demand for non-rigid airships is also propelling the growth of this market. However, factors such as high initial cost and safety concerns may restrain the growth of this market in some regions. The global commercial airships market can be segmented on the basis of type into rigid, semi-rigid, and non-rigid airships. The rigid type segment is expected to hold a major share of the global commercial airship market during the forecast period owing to its high efficiency and low operational costs.
Product Definition:
A commercial airship is a type of aircraft which is used for carrying goods or passengers. These airships are typically larger than traditional passenger aircraft, and can be used to transport large amounts of cargo. Commercial airships have several advantages over other forms of transportation, including the ability to travel to remote locations and the ability to bypass traffic congestion.
Rigid:
Rigid airship is a type of airship that has a rigid hull, which provides it with the structural strength and prevents it from being affected by the forces of turbulence. Rigid airships are generally made up of aluminum or steel; however, some modern examples are made out of composites. The internal volume is divided into separate compartments by strong internal walls or partitions.
Semi Rigid:
Semi rigid airship is a type of lighter-than-air aircraft that is made up of non-rigid material. It has a gasbag that holds its lifting gas which provides buoyancy and an envelope containing the passenger and cargo cabin. The semi rigid airship can be compared to a balloon in terms of its structure, however, it has more lifting power than balloons due to the presence of high volume lift bags attached with it.
Application Insights:
The cargo transport segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for air transportation due to its cost-effectiveness and efficiency. The cargo segment held a share of around 20% in 2017.
Commercial tours are anticipated to be one of the fastest growing application segments over the forecast period owing to an increase in leisure travel by air, which has resulted in increased demand for commercial airships from operators offering luxury trips at affordable prices. Luxury Charter Trips are gaining popularity among consumers as they offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience with all amenities taken care of by the operator. These trips provide an opportunity for customers who cannot afford expensive vacations at home or abroad, and allow them access to places that would otherwise remain inaccessible due these expenses on account of social status, family obligations or other such reasons.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global commercial airships market in 2016 with a revenue share of over 35%. The growth is attributed to the increasing use of infrastructures for hosting events and exhibitions. For instance, in 2015, Samsung Electronics used blimps for displaying images at AT&T Stadium during NFL games. This was one of the first times that an airship has been used for advertising purposes across North America.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising demand from developing countries such as India and China. The Indian government has planned using lighter-than-air vehicles (LTAVs) or airships for providing emergency services during natural calamities due to their advantages such as being cheaper than helicopters and less vulnerable to bad weather conditions.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for cargo transportation: The global air cargo market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2016 to 2021. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for express delivery and e-commerce shipments. Airships are an ideal mode of transport for high-value or time-sensitive cargo as they offer fast transit times and can cover large distances in a short period of time.
- Low operating costs: Airships have low operating costs as compared to other forms of air transportation such as jets and helicopters. They consume less fuel and do not require expensive airport infrastructure, making them an attractive option for freight carriers looking to reduce their operational costs.
- Environmental benefits: Airships emit significantly lower levels of greenhouse gases than other forms of air transport, making them environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional modes of transportation like trucks and trains. This could lead more companies towards using airships for transporting goods over long distances, helping reduce emissions from the freight sector overall .
