Global Electric Aircraft Market
The Global Electric Aircraft Market was valued at USD 5.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 34.2 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 27.11% from 2022-2027.
Electric Aircraft have the potential to change air travel by reducing their carbon footprint & range costs. The necessity for strict emission standards & sustainable aviation is the reason for the strong demand for electric aircraft. Using electric aircraft has the additional benefit of producing less noise. Jet engines are quieter than conventional piston engines, and are operated by electric aviation. This is the main reason why commercial airline operators globally are increasingly adopting electric aircraft.
Market Drivers
The use of range & gasoline is needed in significant quantities by the aircraft. This increases the cost of producing airplanes for the aviation sector. This factor is boosting the widespread adoption and acceptance of electric aircraft. In addition, the market for electric aircraft is growing due to consumer preference for technologically advanced goods.
Furthermore, technological advancement in the aviation industry is another element fuelling the growth of the global market for electric aircraft. Several technologies are used in the production of airplanes. These factors will accelerate the global market growth for electric aviation in the future.
Market Restraints
However, it is expected that the expensive cost of electric aircraft and the need for adequate charging infrastructure will restrain market expansion and growth in the future.
Also, the biggest challenge that the aviation industry & electric aircraft manufacturers face is the development of high-density batteries. The manufacturers are not able to develop batteries that can run for long distances. The batteries do not have a long shelf life, which is restricting the electric aircraft market growth.
Market Segmentation
The global electric aircraft market is segmented into type, technology, range, component, and region.
Based on type, the global electric aircraft market is segmented into ultralight aircraft and light jets. Further, based on technology the market is segmented into hybrid aircraft and electric aircraft.
Regional Analysis
The global electric aircraft market is segmented into five regions such as North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
The North American region is expected to dominate the electric aircraft market due to rising environmental concerns and expanding government initiatives. The region will account for the most significant revenue share in 2022, ranging from the market for electric aircraft. Additionally, many business owners in the region travel extensively by business aircraft. Due to this aspect, the demand for electric aircraft is expanding in North America.
Whereas, the Asia Pacific region’s electric aircraft market is expanding due to many major market players and their rising expenditure in R&D activities.
Key Players
Various key players are discussed in the global electric aircraft market report including Pipistrel Group, Bye Aerospace, Airbus, Aerospace Limited, Leonardo S.p.A., Yuneec Holding Limited, Faradair Aerospace Limited, Boeing, Groupe Gorge, Digisky S.R.L., and Others
For Instance, in January 2023, the U.S. Air Force selected Electra Aero, Inc. for a Strategic Funding Partnership valued at US$ 85 million to develop electric short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) aircraft. This strategic funding partnership involved the development of a full-scale pre-production prototype of eSTOL aircraft.
