The global preowned twin-engine helicopter market saw supply fall 26% year-over-year in 2025, reaching a five-year low while median trading prices continued to rise, according to new analysis released at Verticon by Aero Asset.

A report from the company tracked activity across weight classes, configurations and regions while examining trends in sales, supply, pricing and liquidity.

“Despite softer transaction volume in 2025, tightening supply bolstered pricing and strengthened overall market equilibrium,” says Valérie Pereira, vice president of market research at Aero Asset. “Median transaction prices continued to rise, and the shorter time to sale reflected sustained demand for well-positioned twin-engine helicopters in 2025.”

Median trading prices increased 10% year-over-year across the market. Heavy twin median pricing reached a five-year high while medium twin median prices rose 17%. Light twin pricing remained steady.

Retail sales declined across all asset classes. Light twin-engine helicopter sales fell 7% year-over-year while supply dropped to a five-year low. Medium twin retail sales declined 11% year-over-year with supply steady. Heavy twin sales fell to their lowest level in five years while supply declined 22% year-over-year.

North America accounted for 38% of global retail transactions in 2025 followed by Europe with 22%. The Asia Pacific market recorded the strongest year-over-year retail sales increase at 29% while Latin America rose 20%.

Overall, the Airbus EC225 and Sikorsky S76D markets recorded the weakest liquidity metrics among tracked twin-engine models.
