Urban Air Mobility (UAM) also referred to as Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), is anticipated to revolutionize the transportation industry. It involves the use of small, highly automated aircraft to carry passengers or cargo at lower altitudes in urban and suburban areas. Urban air mobility has the potential to contribute to a multimodal mobility system for cities. UAM can support a wide range of passenger, cargo, and other operations within the urban and semi-urban environment.
The demand for greener and quieter transportation is driving the emergence of urban air mobility. Trends such as Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), ride-sharing, and autonomous vehicles (AVs) contribute to the UAM market. Benefits include reduced travel time, more direct routes, less roadway congestion, and lower aircraft operating costs will offer significant growth opportunities for the market growth.
In recent years, several companies have emerged in the UAM market that offer UAM infrastructure solutions to design, engineer, install, and operate UAM infrastructure. Some of the key players in UAM infrastructure solutions are Ferrovial, Groupe ADP, Varon, Vertiport, VPorts, Volatus, Skyports, Skyportz, UrbanV, Urban-Air Port and among others. The key eVTOL manufacturers are actively partnering with UAM infrastructure solution providers to establish their market. For instance, in April 2023, Electro Aero came into partnership with Skyportz to jointly develop “vertiport in a box”. In November 2023, Netherlands Airport Consultants (NACO), a Dutch airport consultancy and engineering firm, came into partnership with Urban-Air Port to support the integration of vertiports into airports. Thus, increasing investment in UAM infrastructure development is driving the growth of the vertiport segment.
The lift + cruise eVTOL aircraft type utilizes separate rotors for forward flight thrust, increasing the complexity of the propulsion system. Transitioning to wing-borne flight reduces power consumption and extends flight duration. Recently, there's been an increase in the development of lift + cruise aircraft types. In February 2022, Autoflight (China) conducted its first eVTOL lift + cruise transition test, and in May 2023, Eve Air Mobility (Brazil) completed wind tunnel testing for its lift + cruise eVTOL aircraft. The increasing adoption of lift + cruise eVTOL aircraft presents significant growth opportunities in the market.
The fully electric segment involves aircraft with electric propulsion systems, offering greener alternatives to traditional fuel-powered systems. Advances in lithium-ion batteries have improved specific energy, energy density, and safety, with recent developments enabling super-fast charging. Reduced battery manufacturing costs have fueled the adoption of fully electric urban air mobility vehicles. For instance, in August 2023, Amprius (US) launched a high-power silicon-anode lithium-ion cell for drones and eVTOL aircraft, indicating significant growth opportunities in the urban air mobility market.
Ride-hailing services involve booking customized rides through smartphone apps, connecting commuters with local carpools. The popularity of ridesharing is expected to enhance the cost-effectiveness of urban air mobility services. Key players in the air mobility market are expanding air taxi and shuttle services, with ride-sharing giants such as Uber and Lyft investing in urban air mobility solutions. The growing popularity of ridesharing is driving the air taxi & shuttle segment.
Europe's urban air mobility market is growing significantly due to increased emphasis, government initiatives, and collaborations among UAM aircraft manufacturers, cities, and infrastructure companies. Partnerships such as LYTE Aviation (UK) with Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions and Lilium's strategic partnership with Lufthansa in December 2023 showcase the collaborative momentum and to explore commercial eVTOL aircraft operations in Europe. Key players such as Airbus, Lilium, Volocopter, Wingcopter, and Heart Aerospace contribute to Europe's UAM market growth, positioning the region for significant expansion.
In the urban air mobility market, key players include eVTOL aircraft manufacturers and infrastructure developers. These companies produce various components, including batteries, electrical components, and software. Actively pursuing certifications and expanding portfolios, they face strong competition in a market dominated by a few global players. Notable companies include Airbus, Boeing, EHang, Ferrovial, Joby Aviation, Lilium, Skyports, Volatus, Volocopter, and VPorts, alongside numerous startups.
