The projected year-on-year growth rate suggests a stable upward trend in China’s importation of these helicopters driven by increasing demand.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements leading to enhanced light helicopter performance, potential regulatory changes impacting import processes, and shifts in domestic production capabilities that may influence import volume.
