Aircraft Electrification Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Concerns Regarding Carbon Emission is Expected to be the Prime Driver for Aircraft Electrification Market

The aviation sector is one of the key contributors to greenhouse gas emissions that direct to climate change by utilizing fossil fuels. The employment of aircraft electrification technology is rising due to growing concern towards more sustainable and environment-friendly alternatives, rising climate change concerns, and supportive government initiatives towards boosting the usage of environment-friendly options across the globe. Governments of several economies are recognizing the significance of switching to electrification technologies for aircraft to meet the future targets of achieving low to zero carbon emissions. For instance, the US government targets to lower net GHG emissions by ~50–~52% in comparison to 2005 levels by 2031 and attain net zero emissions by 2050. Likewise, the German government has fixed a target to lower its carbon emissions by ~65% compared to 1990 levels by 2031. Thus, the growing environmental concern and focus on mitigating carbon emissions, along with encouraging fuel-efficient technology in the aviation sector is driving the market for aircraft electrification market globally.

Advancement of Electric Propulsion-Based eVTOL Aircraft

The increasing developments in electric propulsion-based UAVs are also expected to boost the eVTOL aircraft in the coming years, which is a major opportunity for the aircraft electrification market. Also, the operators across this market are initially focusing on the development of fully electric propulsion-based eVTOL aircraft, which is acting as one of the major drivers of the aircraft electrification market. For instance, in May 2022, Volocopter, a German startup, announced that it is partnering with Jetex, an aircraft ground handling company, to deploy and operate permanent vertiport infrastructure for passenger services. The startup will launch operations in 2024. As battery technology has improved over the years, eVTOL is becoming sustainable. Electric propulsion-driven eVTOL can move into intra-city and inter-city aviation. The funding from key players is also increasing, which is anticipated to drive the development of the market. Thus, the growing proliferation of electric propulsion-based eVTOL aircraft is projected to propel the growth of the aircraft electrification market over the forecast period.
