eVTOLs have the potential to drastically reduce congestion on the ground and in the air, providing a faster and more direct way to move people and goods within urban environments. They also have the potential to increase access to transportation in areas that are currently underserved, such as rural or remote communities.
According to recent study by Polaris Market Research, the global electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs) aircraft market was valued at USD 11.43 Billion by 2022 and is expected to reach USD 41.00 Billion By 2032, growing at a CAGR of 13.86 % in the forecast period.
Key Applications of eVTOLs:
- Urban Air Taxis: eVTOLs have the potential to revolutionize urban transportation by offering an efficient and convenient way for people to move around cities. They could be used as air taxis, providing a faster and more direct mode of transportation than ground-based options.
- Emergency Medical Services: eVTOLs could be used to transport patients in emergency medical situations, particularly in areas with poor ground-based transportation infrastructure or in scenarios where time is critical.
- Cargo Delivery: eVTOLs could be used for cargo delivery in urban areas, providing a faster and more efficient way to move goods than traditional ground-based transportation.
- Search and Rescue Operations: eVTOLs could be used for search and rescue operations in remote or difficult-to-access areas, such as mountain ranges or dense forests.
- Military and Defense: eVTOLs could be used by military and defense organizations for a range of applications, such as reconnaissance, troop transport, and logistics support.
Key Takeaways
- The COVID-19 pandemic had an overall negative impact on the eVTOL aircraft market. The pandemic has slowed the development and commercialization of eVTOL aircraft due to disruptions in supply chains, restrictions on travel and in-person meetings, and a general economic slowdown. While in the short run, the pandemic has also highlighted the need for new transportation solutions that are more efficient, safe, and sustainable.
- Multirotor eVTOL aircraft use multiple rotors (usually four or more) to provide lift and control and are often designed for shorter-range missions such as urban air mobility and package delivery. The Multirotor segment is anticipated to dominate the market in the forecast period. The demand for urban air mobility, delivery services, versatility, lower cost, and innovation is driving the growth of this segment.
- The Hydrogen Electric segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR in the forecast period. This segment's growth is driven by its longer range, sustainability, increasing availability of hydrogen fuel, lower operating costs, and innovation.
- The 100 – 1000 kg MTOW segment will witness a significant CAGR in the forecast period. The segment is well-suited for urban air mobility applications, where eVTOL aircraft can provide fast and efficient transportation within urban areas. It is also being developed for package delivery services, where eVTOL aircraft can provide quick and efficient delivery of packages within urban areas.
- North America region is leading the market in terms of revenue share for the year 2022. The market's growth is driven by favorable regulatory support, technological innovations, high population density, advanced infrastructure, and environmental concerns. These factors will likely drive growth in the North American eVTOL aircraft market for the foreseeable future.
