Many people taking part in the China International Helicopters Expo in Tianjin say they're excited about the possibilities in the helicopter market here in China.
Among them is Larry Roberts with US-based Bell Helicopter Textron.
In China, Airbus Helicopters currently dominate, holding around 40-percent of the market share.
Its orders this year have doubled compared to last year.
Airbus is hoping to up its market share to 60-percent in the next 5-years.
Norbert Ducrot, President of Airbus Helicopters China, says they're also looking beyond just sales.
The dominance of foreign helicopter producers in China is creating new calls for better domestic production.
Yu Feng with the Aviation Industry Corporation of China says China's domestic helicopter industry needs to step up.
There are currently only around 700 non-military helicopters operational on the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao. This is just 1.5% of the world's total.
