The import value of helicopters with an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg into Japan is forecasted to decline from $17.872 million in 2024 to $12.248 million in 2028. This represents a consistent downward trend over the forecast period, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -9.05% from 2024 to 2028. The projected year-on-year decreases indicate challenges in the helicopter import market for smaller models, possibly due to market saturation, increased competition, or shifting demand to other aircraft types.

Future Trends to Watch For:

Technological advancements in helicopter efficiency and design may drive changes in import dynamics.
Regulatory developments in aviation policy could impact import conditions.
Emerging needs in rescue operations or urban mobility might alter demand for small helicopters.
