Airships also termed as dirigible balloon is a type of aerostat or lighter-than-air aircraft that can navigate through the air under its own power. Aerostats gain their lift from large gasbags filled with a lifting gas that is less dense than the surrounding air. In early airship, the lifting gas used was hydrogen, due to its high lifting capacity and ready availability. Unlike hydrogen, helium gas has almost the same lifting capacity and is not flammable, but is rare and relatively expensive. The main types of airships are non-rigid, semi-rigid, and rigid. Non-rigid airships, often called "blimps", rely on internal pressure to maintain their shape. Semi-rigid airships maintain the envelope shape by internal pressure, but have some form of supporting structure, such as a fixed keel, attached to it. Rigid airships have an outer structural framework that maintain the shape and carry all structural loads, while the lifting gas is contained in one or more internal gasbags or cells. These airships are highly used for advertising and covering sport events. Apart from this, airship also finds its applications in transporting cargo and military.
Growth of airship market is driven by factors such as increased demand of surveillance in confined areas, trend of mega advertisement, live streaming of events and bolstering aerial recreational and sightseeing activities to support the demand of airship within the forecast period. In addition, advertising on airships has been analyzed to be much more cost effective compared to other forms of advertising, which boosts the growth of the market. Apart from advertising, the tremendous capacity of these airships to handle weight and transport over distances with negligible cost is driving the airship market in the logistic sector. However, factors that restrain the growth of the airships market include risky operation due to use of hydrogen gas which is highly inflammable, followed by complex and higher installation cost.
The global airship market is segmented on the basis of class, operation, architecture and application. By class the market is fragmented by small, medium and large. Based on operations, the airship market is bifurcated into manned and unmanned. With respect to architecture, the market is divided into non-rigid, rigid and semi-rigid. The application segment is divided into tourism and recreational, research and surveillance, advertisement and cargo, and military and communication. By region, the market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA
