The key drivers of the UAM market include high demand for efficient urban mobility solutions to reduce congestion, technologically advanced propulsion through electric engines, autonomous systems, improved batteries, and significant venture capital and private investment. Supporting regulatory frameworks and infrastructural development of requirements such as vertiports and charging stations are the essential elements boosting the market. Further, with growing concerns about emissions and consumer interest in new, on-demand mobility options, environmental concerns and consumers' curiosity are fueling market growth.
"Platform segment is set to dominate the UAM market."
The contribution of the platform segment would, therefore, be the largest in the market in 2024. Actually, this segment is likely to dominate the UAM market since platforms play a critical role in deploying and operating air mobility solutions. Platforms consist of eVTOL aircraft with accompanying software; initial deployment and revenue from sales, leasing, and service are included. Their potential for integration with the current transportation infrastructure, the rapid pace of technological advance, and competitive, innovative capabilities secure the leading position of this segment in the market.
"Ride-sharing company by end user is estimated to grow at highest CAGR in forecast period."
Based on the end user, the ride-sharing company segment is expected to grow the most during the forecast period. UAM will likely be dominated by companies operating on ride sharing because this business model has shown the best capability of scaling up quickly; matching significant growth quickly and efficiently, their long history of dealing with huge fleets gives such corporations firm grounding in the marketplace based on these merits of experience. Besides, the existing brand name and customer loyalty significantly enhance market positioning. As these air mobility solutions become integrated, ride-sharing companies will utilize their existing infrastructure and operational experience to create larger implementations of seamless and novel transportation offerings, thereby propelling the UAM sector to significant growth.
"North America is expected to hold the highest market share in 2024."
Having the region lead the pace in innovation for the rest of the world in new concepts in urban transport and building the necessary infrastructure required for these innovations, North America maintains the largest share in the UAM market. The technology ecosystem is well-established in the region and with a strong entrepreneurial presence, development of UAM is very rapid.
