At 8.0% CAGR, Asia Pacific Aerial Firefighting Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 205.53 Million by 2031, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Asia Pacific aerial firefighting market was valued at US$ 110.65 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 205.53 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 8.0% from 2023 to 2031. Advantages associated with aerial firefighting in combating wildfires over ground firefighting and rise in awareness & government initiatives toward forest conservation from fire are among the critical factors attributed to drive the Asia Pacific aerial firefighting market growth.

Aerial firefighting focuses on fire suppression as well as emphasizes the importance of forest protection. By proactively managing forests and ensuring their overall health, aerial firefighting service providers can prevent the rapid spread of wildfires and reduce their intensity. Aerial photography can identify areas at risk of fire outbreaks. These assessments enable proactive measures to reduce fuel loads and create fire-resilient landscapes. Qualified pilots play a critical role in effectively managing forests and minimizing the impact of wildfires on natural habitats and surrounding communities. By using firefighting techniques and harnessing the power of aerial firefighting, aerial firefighting service providers can protect our forests and communities from the devastating effects of wildfires. In addition, governments of various countries are playing a key role in investment or funding toward forest preservation from wildfires. In 2022, following the emergence of small-scale forest and plantation fires in August, Indonesia preemptively deployed more than 20 helicopters to six provinces in Sumatra and Kalimantan that are prone to wildfires. Further, in June 2024, the provincial government of Riau, Indonesia, received a water bombing helicopter from the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) to combat land and forest fires (khutba) in the region. Thus, a rise in awareness and government initiatives toward forest conservation from fire boosts the Asia Pacific aerial firefighting market growth.

On the contrary, dominance of government in aerial firefighting business activities in key economies hampers the growth of Asia Pacific aerial firefighting market.
