Global Electric Aircraft Market by Component (Aircraft Battery, Aircraft Electric Motor), Type (Light Jet, Ultralight Aircraft), Technology, Range, Takeoff & Landing Type, Application - Forecast 2024-2030

The Electric Aircraft Market size was estimated at USD 1.76 billion in 2023, USD 1.87 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.43% to reach USD 2.91 billion by 2030.

The electric aviation movement is rapidly gaining pace, especially as the industry is under increasing pressure to decrease hazardous emissions. Electric aircraft eliminate CO2 emissions and GHGs, including NOx and water vapor, making them the most environmentally friendly technology capable of zero emissions during flight operations. Furthermore, electric planes have the potential to fly closer to cities and homes at all hours of the day and night without disturbing communities or wildlife. The rapid trend towards a clean and green environment, significant growth of power electronics, batteries, and electric motors, and supportive government nature have accelerated the development of the electric aircraft market. However, high voltage, thermal issues, and design complications may hinder market expansion. Nevertheless, the ongoing research activities and introduction of advanced electric aircraft create immense prospects in the coming years.

Regional Insights

The American electric aircraft market is significantly developing and emerging due to favorable government investments, ongoing research and development activities, and the presence of major native players. The U.S. Department of Energy constantly funded USD 55 million and USD 33 million in 2019 and 2020 for electric aviation, raising market development in the region. Moreover, NASA has worked with Empirical Systems Aerospace (ESAero) to understand air vehicle and all-electric propulsion design, analysis, manufacturing, integration, ground testing, diagnostic tools, and software modeling for the aircraft. Similarly, European countries are also significantly involved in the manufacturing and development of electric aviation to reduce emissions and optimize energy efficiency. In February 2023, the U.K. government recently announced USD 133 million in funding through the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) Programme for developing cutting-edge technologies for zero-emission electric aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) also discuss the certification and validation of new eVTOL aircraft, production, continued airworthiness, operations, and personnel licensing, widening market scope. The Asia-Pacific region is also witnessing notable growth prospects in the electric aircraft market owing to rising government funding and support and the rapid trend towards electrification. The Minister for Industry and Science, in January 2023, announced USD 44 million in grants for Australian companies to support 19 collaborative research projects for electric planes. Furthermore, the ongoing research and development activities by regional players from China and Japan expand the development of the electric aircraft market in the Asia-Pacific region.
