We suggest that readers contact the specific government and military programme offices if seeking to confirm the reliability of any data. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two- pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft.

Indo-Pacific
INDO-PACIFIC Pakistan Moving into Sales of JF-17 Fighters OE Watch Commentary: The JF-17 is a multi- role combat aircraft developed jointly by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex and China’s Chengdu Aircraft Corporation. Its development and introduction provided Pakistan’s air force with a multi-role fighter and an upgrade to its inventory. While sales of the JF-17 were not an initial goal, the accompanying excerpted article reports that the Nigerian Air Force is taking delivery of three JF-17 fighters from Pakistan later this year, and there are a few things worth noting. The article from Quwa, an English-language website reporting on defense issues in Pakistan, reports that the Nigerian Air Force “will receive its three JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighters in November 2020.” The article mentions that the Nigerian government began saving money for the JF-17s a few years ago and how “Pakistan was waiting for payments before starting the production of the fighters.” The author of the article believes that the Nigerian government “will follow-up JF-17 Thunder with the 8,126 m-high Nanga Parbat in the background. Source: Asuspine via Wikimedia, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pakistan_Air_Force_JF-17_Thunder_flies_in_front_of_the_26,660_ft_high_Nanga_ this contract with a follow-on order to fully replace its Parbat.jpg, GFDL 1.2 legacy F-7Ni and FT-7Ni fighters,” though he also notes how the Nigerian government “seems to be ordering aircraft once it has sufficient cash funds for an order on-hand (i.e., not through a line of credit or loan)” so it is unknown when another order would take place or how many fighters it would include.
