The Global Urban Air Mobility Market is estimated to be USD 7.04 Bn in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 35.79 Bn by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 38.42%.Growing Urban Congestion and Advancements in Drone Technology Are Fueling Interest in Urban Air Mobility Solutions
Urban Air Mobility, also known as Advanced Air Mobility, is a newly created concept that promises a sustainable, affordable, safe, and accessible air transportation system for people, emergency management, and cargo delivery within urban areas. The market is primarily driven by the need for faster and cleaner urban transportation. People often get stuck in traffic on their way to or from work, which wastes fuel and lowers productivity. Moreover, there is a growing need for efficient logistics and last-mile delivery modes in the metropolitan economy. Using urban air mobility transit can also reduce traffic congestion.
Furthermore, urban air mobility initiatives can help reduce the burden on numerous overburdened infrastructures, particularly in densely populated areas. These initiatives have already been tested in cities like Singapore, Dubai, Dallas, and Los Angeles. With increasing government initiatives supporting the development of UAM capabilities, today's top transportation companies are utilizing cutting-edge technologies and preparing to construct intelligent aerial vehicles for urban air mobility. The development of flying taxi services, drones, and electric aircraft will make transportation more efficient and effective, which is expected to increase the Urban Air Mobility market.
However, it is projected that the higher initial capital required for research and development and the development of the necessary infrastructure for urban air mobility will hinder the market's growth. Additionally, air traffic and cybersecurity concerns are significant challenges for the market.
Market Segmentations
- The Global Urban Air Mobility Market is segmented based on Component, Operation, System, Range, Architecture, End-Users, and Geography.
- By Component, the market is classified into Infrastructure Solutions and Platforms. market because eVTOL aircraft, drones, and other vehicles are the key components of UAM services. These platforms are what enable the transportation of people and goods in urban airspace and are the main focus of UAM development and investment. Companies are investing heavily in developing and testing these platforms to ensure that they meet the safety, reliability, and performance standards required for commercial UAM services.
- By Operation, the market is classified into Piloted and Autonomous. The piloted operation segment holds the largest market share in the global urban air mobility market. This is because most of the current UAM vehicles, such as helicopters and light aircraft, are designed for piloted operation. The piloted operation also provides passengers with a greater sense of safety and security compared to autonomous operation, which is still in the development stage.
- By System, the market is classified into Avionics, Electrical Systems, Propulsion Systems, and Software. The avionics segment holds the largest market share in the global urban air mobility market by system. This its due to its increasing use in aircraft for navigation, communication, and flight control. In the context of urban air mobility, avionics are critical for ensuring safe and reliable operation of eVTOLs and other UAM platforms.
- By Range, the market is classified into Intercity and Intracity. Intracity is expected to hold a larger market share globally. This is because urban air mobility is primarily being developed as a solution to the growing problem of traffic congestion in cities. The ability to transport people and goods quickly and efficiently within a city can significantly reduce travel times and help alleviate congestion on roads.
- By Architecture, the market is classified into Rotary Wing and Fixed Wing Hybrid. The largest market segment in the architecture classification of the urban air mobility market is rotary-wing vehicles. Rotary-wing vehicles have been in use for several decades, and there is an existing infrastructure and regulatory framework in place for these types of aircraft. They are also well-suited for operations in urban areas due to their vertical take-off and landing capabilities, making them ideal for short-distance flights and accessing areas with limited space for runways
- By End-Users, the market is classified into Ride Sharing Companies, Scheduled Operators, E-commerce Companies, Hospitals & Medicals Agencies, and Private Operators. Ride Sharing Companies hold the largest market share. Ride-sharing companies such as Uber, Lyft, and Volocopter are investing heavily in the development of urban air mobility services, as they see a significant market opportunity for air-based transportation services. These companies are seeking to offer a more efficient and faster mode of transportation for their customers and see UAM as a natural extension of their existing ride-sharing business models.
- By Geography, the market is classified into the Americas, Europe, Middle-East & Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Americas hold the largest market share. This is because it is home to many of the leading companies in the UAM industry, such as Uber Elevate, Joby Aviation, and Archer Aviation, as well as a strong regulatory framework for the industry.
Recent Developments
1. Airbus and The Helicopter Company expand partnership to include sustainable aviation fuel and urban air mobility in Saudi Arabia - March 20222. Volocopter formed a new joint venture with Saudi Arabia's NEOM region. To enable an open eVTOL ecosystem for vertical mobility services, such as logistics, emergency response, and tourism, the joint venture will act as the sole operator. 15 Volocopter aircraft were previously ordered by NEOM, and their maiden flying activities are scheduled to begin in 2023-2024. - December 2021
