Urban Air Mobility Market Report 2025

The urban air mobility market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $4.31 billion in 2024 to $5.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urban development and smart city initiatives, infrastructure modernization, demand for time-saving transportation, advancements in electric propulsion systems, rise of ride-sharing and mobility services.

The urban air mobility market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.37 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to data-driven operations and safety measures, investment and funding opportunities, public acceptance and perception, demand for aerial ride-sharing services, infrastructure development for vertiports. Major trends in the forecast period include popularity of e-VTOLs, air traffic management solutions, focus on noise reduction, integration of AI and automation, urban infrastructure adaptations, user experience and accessibility.

The increasing investment in the urban air mobility market is anticipated to drive demand in the sector. There is significant R&D investment in the urban air mobility industry, with many aerospace companies recognizing its high growth potential. For example, a report from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS), a UK government agency, published in July 2022, projected that by 2030, under a 'best-case' adoption scenario, drones could contribute approximately $56 billion to the UK economy, with over 900,000 drones operating in UK airspace. Additionally, potential net cost savings of around $28 billion could be realized, along with a reduction in carbon emissions by 2.4 million tons. Thus, the rising investment in urban air mobility is expected to significantly boost market demand.

The burgeoning urban population is anticipated to propel the urban air mobility market. Urban areas, hosting higher population densities, advanced infrastructure, and economic complexity, benefit from aerial transportation solutions to enhance efficiency and alleviate congestion. Data from the Central Intelligence Agency-The World Fact Book indicated that the urban population in the US constitutes around 83.3%, with an annual urbanization rate of 0.96% from 2020 to 2025. Similarly, in the UK, 84.6% of the population resides in urban areas, expecting an annual urbanization rate of 0.8% from 2020 to 2025. Hence, the growing urban population drives the urban air mobility market's growth.

Major players in the urban air mobility market are focusing on innovative products such as the Vertiport Management System (VMS). ANRA Technologies launched the VMS in November 2023, filling a crucial technology gap in managing vertical takeoff and landing air mobility aircraft at vertiports. This online platform, adaptable to various vertiport layouts and aircraft, facilitates efficient UAM operations, ensuring secure aircraft arrival and departure through intelligent data exchange.

Major companies in the urban air mobility market are actively pursuing partnerships to enhance profitability and contribute to the sector's growth. In November 2023, Eve Air Mobility collaborated with Flexjet to explore the potential of Urban Air Mobility through groundbreaking software simulation. This strategic partnership aims to test and enhance Eve's Urban ATM software, crucial for future Urban Air Mobility services. The collaboration involved an initial software simulation at Flexjet's Tactical Control Centre, tracking real-time helicopter flights conducted by Flexjet's UK helicopter division. User testing and feedback gathered during the simulation will contribute to refining the software for upcoming UAM operations, ensuring alignment with the requirements of future air mobility endeavors.

In November 2023, Eve Air Mobility, a Brazil-based company focused on developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and urban air mobility (UAM) infrastructure, partnered with Flexjet. This collaboration involved testing Eve's Urban Air Traffic Management (Urban ATM) solution, which is designed to manage eVTOL operations in low-level airspace. The simulation occurred over four days at Flexjet's Tactical Control Centre in Farnborough, UK, where Eve's software monitored live helicopter flights from Flexjet's fleet. Flexjet, a US-based leader in fractional ownership aircraft, leasing, and jet card services, specializes in private aviation.
