Global Urban Air Mobility Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2026 By Component (Infrastructure [Vertiports, Charging Stations, Maintenance Facilities, and Air Traffic Management Facilities], Platform [Air Shuttles and Air Metro]), By Range (Intracity and Intercity), By Platform Operations (Autonomous [Fully Automatic and Remotely/Optionally Piloted] and Piloted), By Planform Architecture (Fixed-wing Hybrid and Rotary Wing), By End-User (Scheduled Operators, Ride-Sharing Companies, Hospitals & Medical Agencies, Private Operators, and E-commerce Companies), By Unmanned Platform System (Avionics, Aerostructure, Propulsion Systems, Electrical Systems, Software, and Cabin Interiors), By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, CSA, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa), Company Market Share Analysis, and Competitor Analysis
The global urban air mobility market is projected to grow from USD 2.8 billion in 2021 to USD 4.41 billion by 2026 at a CAGR value of 9.5% from 2021 to 2026.
The rising technological advancements for launching urban air mobility products is one of the major factors responsible for the growth of the urban air mobility market. Globally, rising traffic congestion difficulties, particularly in large cities, are driving the demand for speedier intra - city transportation choices. As a result, such factors are anticipated to fuel the market's expansion over the forecast period.
Recent technological developments, use of UAVs in various civil & commercial applications, and significant investments in emerging economies drive the urban air mobility market. Various players such as Wisk (US), Lilium (Germany), Ehang (China.), Volocopter (Germany), and Airbus A Cubed (US), among others, are the key players operating in the urban air mobility market. These players are focused on development of UAM platform. Drones are increasingly replacing small manned aircraft as they have higher endurance and can be operated remotely by human operators or autonomously by on-board computers. The demand for faster delivery of packages by consumers in the e-commerce industry is also increasing, with customers willing to pay extra for same-day delivery. The recent technological developments in urban air mobility hold a promising future where cities will adopt the next generation of transportation systems using unmanned systems.
The UAM supply chain has been significantly damaged by the COVID-19 outbreak. Due to shut downs at UAM vehicle research and development facilities, the propagation of COVID-19 in the US and EU predicted to have a detrimental impact. For example, in December 2020, Uber sold its Elevate business to Joby Aviation, a firm that was on the verge of implementing on-demand aviation in a few locations by 2023. In addition, numerous prospective firms in the UAM industry have lost business as a result of the closure in Asia Pacific region too.
Based on component, the market is segmented into infrastructure which is sub-divided into vertiports, charging stations, maintenance facilities, and air traffic management facilities and platform which is further segmented into air shuttles and air metro. The infrastructure segment is expected to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period. The largest share of this segment is attributed to the increasing intra - city passenger traffic, which is leading to the implementation of more and more eVTOL (vertical take-off and landing) air transportation, which necessitates the institution of more infrastructure, such as air navigation facilities, electric charging, and support facilities.
Based on the range, the market is segmented into Intracity and Intercity. The intercity segment is estimated to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period. The platforms for intercity transport are deemed to be the most important part of this dominance. Since the expense and quantity of platforms for interstate travel are considerable, interstate stations are being used more frequently.
Based on platform operations the market is segmented into autonomous and piloted. The autonomous segment which is sub-divided into fully automatic and remotely/optionally piloted is expected to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period. The latest technology breakthroughs in the context of urban air mobility, which are linked to cognitive computing, are the prime factors for the segment’s largest share in the market.
Based on the platform architecture the market is segmented into Fixed-wing hybrid and rotary wing. The fixed-wing hybrid segment is anticipated to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period. In order to transport passengers, the platform must have greater stability, particularly for remotely operated or fully autonomous aircraft, which is offered by fixed-wing hybrid.
Based on the end-user, the market is segmented into Scheduled Operators, Ride-Sharing Companies, Hospitals & Medical Agencies, Private Operators, and E-commerce Companies. The e-commerce companies’ segment is predicted to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period. The rising need for same-day delivery around the globe, as well as a growing desire in a more convenient way to transport items, are driving this growth.
Based on the unmanned platform system the market is divided into Avionics, Aerostructure, Propulsion Systems, Electrical Systems, Software, and Cabin Interiors. The software segment is estimated to be the largest shareholder of the market from 2021 to 2026. The demand for urban air vehicles in both commercial and civil segments is driving this growth, since the number of pilots is decreasing while demand is increasing. The programme improves the ability to control and monitor air vehicles as well as the actions that are caught by the air vehicles.
As per the geographical analysis, the urban air mobility market can be classified into North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, and Rest of Europe), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Rest of the Middle East & Africa) and Central & South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of Central and South America).
North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico) will have a dominant share in the Urban Air Mobility market from 2021 to 2026. The growing trend of industrialization and globalisation in these regions is propelling the North American urban air mobility market.
Moreover, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the Urban Air Mobility market during the forecast period. The highest CAGR of Asia Pacific region is mainly due to the fact that Asia-Pacific is home to several emerging nations and is seen as a market opportunity for the UAM due to rising urbanisation, increased congestion problems, and a surge in the region's high-income groups.
Lilium, Wisk Aero, Volocopter, Jaunt Air Mobility, Wingcopter, Joby Aviation, Archer Aviation, Airspace, Lockheed Martin, Neva Aerospace, Airbus (Acubed), Transcend Air, Trek Aerospace, Moller International, Airis Aerospace, And Bartini Aero, among others are few major market players in the global urban air mobility market.
