Electric Aircraft Market, By Type (Ultralight Aircraft and Light Jet), by Component (Battery, Electric Motor, and Others), By Technology (Hybrid and All Electric), By Power Range (Less than 500 Km and More than 500 Km), By Application (Commercial, Military, and Others), and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028
Electric aircraft is driven by the use of electric motors and are equipped with electrical systems. These aircraft are light in weight with less fuel usage and reduced emissions. The non-propulsive power systems such as mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic are replaced with an electrical system that helps in reducing the operating cost of the electric aircraft. The absence of heavy machines that require proper maintenance provides better efficiency and it makes electrical system a suitable option for both aircraft manufacturers and aircraft carriers. Electric aircraft are highly innovative with respect to technology and functioning. Electric aircraft uses different sources of energy in order to preserve non-renewable energy and it is considered better than traditional aircraft, which is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
The global electric aircraft market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, owing to the increasing airline passengers. This is attributed to the rising disposable income of people in emerging and developed countries. For instance, in China, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), rural and urban per capita disposable income reached US$ 5,658.45 from US$ 2,107.2 in 2018. Moreover, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), disposable personal income increased to US$ 16,706.40 million in December 2021 from US$ 16,675.80 million in November 2021 in the U.S. Furthermore, the tourism industry continues to expand and it became vital for manufacturers to find alternatives that will not only boost the capacity of electric aircraft and also protect the environment from air, noise, and ground pollution due to increased air traffic. For instance, regulatory bodies such as International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA), and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) introduced several regulatory policies to minimize carbon emission. Furthermore, in February 2020, Thales Group launched PUREFLYT, a flight management system (FMS) that is designed to provide safety, security, reduces the consumption of fuel, and increase operational efficiency. Due to this, electric aircraft manufacturers are integrating a single electric system into planes instead of a heavy mechanical system that consist of several individual parts.
Moreover, several global players across different regions are focusing on developing new products with new features and technologies to gain a competitive edge in the market. Industries are focusing on developing new products with new features to cater to the demand from the end users. For instance, in April 2021, Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation, the largest supplier of aerospace & defense products, launched The Grid, the most advanced electric power system laboratory. Various systems such as high-power generators are designed and tested in this laboratory.
