Market Size, Growth & Projections (2024-2031):
According to a new report by IMIR Market Research on Global Aircraft Electrification Market size is estimated to be USD 8.17 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 28.29 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 14.8% during the forecast period.
The process of powering aircraft systems electrically as opposed to traditionally fuel-based techniques is known as aviation electrification. Increased aeroplane range, lower pollutants, and improved fuel efficiency are just a few of the possible advantages of this procedure. Right now, the market for aeroplane electrification is expanding. The market encompasses the creation, production, and distribution of different systems and components utilised in the electrification of aeroplanes. Aircraft electrification aims to save costs, increase efficiency, and make flying more environmentally benign and sustainable.
The need for cleaner, quieter aircraft, an increase in the need for electrical components in aircraft, and advancements in electric aircraft propulsion systems are some of the drivers driving the aviation electrification industry. Nevertheless, the high capital needs and high voltage and heat problems with aircraft electrical systems limit the market's growth. Also, the industry has profitable growth prospects due to the development of lithium-ion batteries and the rise of alternative power sources.
Beyond that, there is increasing pressure on the aviation industry to lower its carbon footprint. Potential technologies that could assist the aviation sector in reducing pollution include energy storage systems in aircraft electrification and electric propulsion systems. Meanwhile, a number of aircraft manufacturers are currently developing electric aircraft. For example, Airbus worked together with Rosales and Siemens to develop a hybrid electric regional airline. The airline is expected to start operating in 2030, according to the corporation.
The market for aeroplane electrification is divided into segments according to component, technology, application, platform, system, and geography. The market is segmented by component and includes batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, electric actuators, electric pumps, generators, motors, power electronics, and distribution devices. The market is divided into three categories based on technology: fully electric, hybrid electric, and more electric. The market is divided into four categories based on application: energy storage, power conversion, power generating, and power distribution. The market is segmented into fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on platform. Propulsion, Environmental Control, Landing Gear, Ice Protection, Flight Control, and Thrust Reverser systems are the market segments categorised by system. By region, the market is examined at the national level in each of the following areas: Latin America, Middle East & Africa (LAMEA), Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America.
Market Drivers:
Lower Cost of Maintenance
- Conventional system installation and maintenance are labour- and time-intensive processes that take a lot of time on aircraft. Due to the fact that electrification has fewer moving parts than conventional systems, it significantly lowers maintenance costs for aeroplanes. The benefits of electric aircraft are prompting major OEMs like Airbus and Boeing to increase their production. Similarly the possibility to build hybrid and completely electric aircraft is greatly enhanced by the reduction in operating costs brought about by electrification.
Advancement in Battery Technology
- Progressive developments in battery technology are a major driver of the growth of electric aircraft. Battery capacity to store energy long enough to power an aeroplane has always been the Achilles' heel of electric aviation. On the other hand, batteries with significantly better energy densities are being developed as a result of recent advances in materials research and cell architecture. It follows that electric aeroplanes can travel farther on a single charge because they can pack more power into a lower weight. The path towards a cleaner, calmer sky is being paved by these innovations, which are making electric aircraft a more appealing option.
Market Trends:
Hybrid Electric Aircraft
- The rise in hybrid electric aircraft is a potential approach to aviation electrification. These blend conventional jet engines and electric motors. By utilising the advantages of both technologies, this provides a creative solution. Since they are concentrated on the ground and at lower altitudes, electric motors assume control during takeoff and the early climb, greatly lowering emissions and noise pollution. The jet engine smoothly takes over once the vehicle reaches cruising altitude, allowing these hybrids to reach ranges that are on par with conventional aircraft—a challenge that is beyond the reach of fully electric models because of battery capacity restrictions. This combination opens the door to a more sustainable aviation future by providing a convincing means of bridging the gap between completely electric and conventional aircraft.
Urban Air Mobility (UAM)
- By focusing on the skies, Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is changing urban transit. For short-distance flights inside cities, an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft network is used. By operating in the airspace above urban areas, these electric vehicle taxis, or air taxis, seek to avoid traffic congestion. For UAM to be effective, electric propulsion is required since it reduces noise pollution in cities by making eVTOL aircraft quieter and greener. For short journeys, this technology offers a quicker and more convenient option by potentially cutting travel times within crowded cities. Urban mobility is about to change, and UAM offers an exciting new opportunity to lower traffic in cities.
Market Restraining Factors:
High Costs
- Their high cost is a significant barrier to the widespread use of electric aircraft. Battery technology and infrastructure are the two main causes of this. Large aeroplanes require batteries with a certain energy density, which is costly to develop and produce. A lack of infrastructure, such as airport charging stations, is another issue that makes it difficult for electric aircraft to operate. Although not yet widely accessible, these charging stations need a large initial expenditure. For airlines and other prospective operators thinking about making the transition to electric aircraft, the high costs of the aircraft themselves as well as the supporting infrastructure provide a major obstacle.
