Market Overview

Electric air taxis are commercial aircraft designed for short flights. They are an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technology that uses electricity to take off and land vertically. eVTOL-based systems emerged as a result of the advanced combination of batteries, motors, and controllers, as well as the growing demand for urban air mobility. NASA encouraged the development of air taxis in 2001, and the concept resurfaced in 2016 as personal air vehicles, or passenger drones. Globally, the transportation and aviation industries are partnering and investing millions in vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) initiatives. Major requirements for air taxi development include covering the most distance in the shortest amount of time while avoiding traffic congestion in the metropolis. With increased interest in urban air mobility, eVTOLs will soon become a viable option for most countries. Electric air taxis will overcome these problems and alter the mode of transportation in the airspace, addressing underlying issues such as urban traffic congestion and pollution. Furthermore, eco-friendly transportation choices will stimulate the development of these vehicles in the next few years. Continuous improvements in electric propulsion technologies, such as the use of lightweight electric motors, have eased the construction of electric air taxis.

Market Segmentation

The global electric air taxi market share is classified into type and application.

• The two seat segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global electric air taxi market during the forecast period.

Based on the type, the global electric air taxi market is categorized into two seat and four seat. Among these, the two-seat segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global electric air taxi market during the forecast period. These taxis are meant to transport a small number of passengers and provide a handy way to travel short to medium distances in cities or suburbs. The two seater taxi is easy to fly as per the structure of the electric air taxi.

• The passenger use segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the global electric air taxi market is categorized into military use, passenger use, and delivery use. Among these, the passenger use segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Passengers can book air taxi services on-demand using mobile applications or websites, giving them schedule flexibility and removing the need for advanced planning or waiting in huge lines at airports. Air taxis are able to bypass ground traffic, allowing passengers to get to their destinations significantly faster than regular ground transportation. This is especially useful in congested urban areas or while traveling between cities, where ground transit can be slow and unreliable.
