Electric Aircraft Market Insights, Status, Share, Leading Players and Forecast From 2018 – 2026
The global electric aircraft market is expected to reach USD 937.01 million by 2026, according to a new report by Reports and Data. Electrical systems not only offer the capability to reduce CO2 emissions, but are also likely to unlock the potential for more energy-efficient aircraft and brand new architectures. Based on a study, if all domestic air transportation in Norway could be converted to electric power, there is a potential to reduce the emission of 1.2 million tons of CO2 equivalents. Converting to electricity is likely to eliminate emissions of greenhouse gases as well as nitrous oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons, and particulate matter.
Growing
awareness towards aviation emissions coupled with increasing penetration of
manufacturers in electric aircraft market are likely to create growth
opportunities.
Market
Size – USD 937.01 million in 2018, Market Growth - CAGR of 35.76%, Market
Trends – Increasing preference for air travel
Asia Pacific is expected to be a key revenue generating region in the forecast period. The market is projected to reach USD 67.64 million in the forecast period. Manufacturers in Asia Pacific are also trying to introduce their aircrafts in the market. In 2017, China announced mass production of their two-seater electric aircraft: RX1E. With a fully charged battery, a maximum takeoff weight of 480 kg and a cruise speed of up to 160 kilometers per hour, RX1E is projected to fly 90 minutes. The electric aircraft is expected to serve a wide range of services starting from police patrols, flight training, entertainment and mapping surveys.
Further key findings from the report suggest
- Aircraft battery is projected to be one of the
fastest growing component of the Electric Aircraft market. Aircrafts
generally use lithium-ion batteries owing to their light weight, much
higher energy density, longer cycle life, and ability to provide deep
discharges. However, short-term bottlenecks in the supplies of some key
metals used in the manufacturing of these batteries especially cobalt is
likely to drive the demand away from Li-ion batteries to lithium Sulphur
(Li-S) batteries.
- Asia Pacific market is forecasted to reach USD
67.64 in 2026. The region has witnessed an increase in investment in
electric aircrafts from the key investment groups. For instance: Recently,
EDBI, Singapore’s corporate investor, announced joining Intel Capital and
Capricorn Investment Group for the funding of the all-electric vertical
take-off and landing (eVTOL) passenger aircraft by Joby Aircraft.
- Key participants include Zunum Aero, Yuneec
International, Pipistrel, Bye Aerospace, Digisky, Eviation, Faradair
Aerospace Limited, Airbus and XTI Aircraft Company. Boeing is a key player
in the Electric Aircraft market. Recently, the company paired with
Japanese government to develop technologies for light-weight next
generation aircraft.
