Prime Determinants of Growth

The growth of the global firefighting aircraft market is driven by factors such as rise in the frequency and severity of wildfires, increase in government investment and funding, environmental awareness, and climate change. However, high acquisition and operational costs, and limited availability of specialized aircraft hamper the growth of the market. On the contrary, technological advancements in aerial firefighting systems, coupled with R&D of sustainable fire retardants, are expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the firefighting aircraft market during the forecast period.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War Scenario

On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, leading to the Russo-Ukrainian war that began in 2014. The geopolitical conflicts arisen have created global economic uncertainties. In times of economic unpredictability, government budgets may be affected, potentially influencing the allocation of funds for firefighting endeavors. This, in turn, could impact the procurement and upkeep of firefighting aircraft.
Moreover, the firefighting aircraft industry has been adversely affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, mainly because of supply chain disruptions involving essential raw materials. The supply chain of Russia, a significant manufacturer of titanium, a substance that is frequently used in the aerospace industry due to its strength and low weight, especially in widebody aircraft, has been impacted. It has been difficult for the big aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing and Airbus SE, to get a steady supply of titanium.
