Global Airships Market: Snapshot
Airships are lighter than air (LTA) airships. These aircrafts have the ability to navigate through air with
the help of its own power. Airships, also known as aerostats gain their lift through large gas filled bags
which are filled with lifting gases such as helium or hydrogen. The market for airships is expected to
grow due to their rising demand for surveillance globally.

Global Airships Market: Drivers and Restraints
The growing concern for safety has lead to the increasing demand for surveillance. However, the
requirement for monitoring of large areas is leading to the demand for economic methods of
surveillance. Airships have lower maintenance cost and can monitor a large area by staying uplifted
for long time periods. These factors are aiding to the demand for airships in surveillance applications.
Furthermore, the airships are being used as a mode of advertisement as they have the ability to stay
up in the air with little or no movement which helps the advertisements to cover a larger target area.
Moreover, advertising on airships has been analyzed to be much more cost effective compared to
other forms of advertising.
However, there are some issues related with the use of airships that can hinder the growth of the
market. Currently, most of the airships operated with the help of lighter than air gases such as helium
and hydrogen. However, hydrogen is a highly flammable gas which has led to several accidents
earlier. Hence it becomes risky to operate an airship filled with hydrogen. Furthermore, the airships
travel at a much slower speed compared to the modern day jets. Hence, the application of airships in
commercial travel is being restrained due to slow speeds. Nevertheless, research is being conducted
to develop hybrid airships which are supposed to run with the help of solar energy to avoid the
operational hazards associated with lighter than air gases. The concept of hybrid airships is expected
to push the demand for airships in future.
Global Airships Market: Segmentation
The global airships market has been segmented by construction type, application and geography. By
construction type, the market has been categorized into rigid airships, semi rigid airships and non-rigid
airships. Non-rigid airships are strong demand because of their lower cost. Additionally, these airships
are preferred for advertisements due to their light weight design. In terms of application, the airships
market has been segregated into surveillance, research, commercial tours, advertisements and cargo
transport among others. The advertisement and surveillance segment has the maximum demand for
