UAM Infrastructure Market Opportunities, Key Players, Competitive and Regional Analysis by Forecast 2033

Urban air mobility (UAM) is emerging as an alternative transportation system across the world where a significant portion of short-haul air travel (relying on conventional fixed-wing platforms) is expected to be replaced by hybrid and electric vertical-take-off-and-landing (eVTOL) based flight services (air metro and air taxi). Drone-based delivery solutions (last mile delivery) are also expected to scale up, which will further drive the growth of the UAM domain. While over 190 eVTOL manufacturers are developing their respective eVTOL platforms, the domain is yet to fully realize relevant infrastructure that can enable commercial scheduled UAM operation.

The global UAM infrastructure market is estimated to reach $623.6 million by 2033 at a CAGR of 20.29% during the forecast period 2023-2033. The UAM infrastructure is expected to be a unique installation of physical and digital infrastructure specifically targeting the operations involving drones and hybrid and eVTOL platforms. The primary objective of the UAM infrastructure is to support passenger and cargo transport through new (relatively) low-altitude short and medium-range flights. Digital infrastructure, air traffic management, docking station, refueling/charging station, drone delivery receptacles, distribution hubs, MRO centers, and landing and take-off platforms are expected to be constituting all the key elements necessary to facilitate UAM operations.

Since the physical and digital infrastructure elements are blended into each other across airside and land-side segments, this study covers the UAM infrastructure across both segments.

Development Stage of UAM infrastructure Market

This study investigates the state of UAM infrastructure development and the consequential opportunities it is creating for the participants operating across the UAM value chain. Specifically, this study focuses on the revenue to be generated through the development of vertiports and their operations by engaging with the hybrid and eVTOL platform operators. The UAM infrastructure market is expecting significant growth driven by the increasing developments of eVTOL aircraft and decongestion efforts in major cities around the world. By leveraging emerging trends and opportunities, businesses can capitalize on the growth prospects of this market. However, addressing challenges and staying innovative will be crucial for long-term success in this competitive market.

Public Operations to Dominate as the Leading Segment by Configuration

The UAM infrastructure market is led by the public operations in the configuration segment, with a 20% share in 2023, and is expected to grow to 30% by 2033, owing to the commercialization of UAM operations. Increasing UAM developments and commercialization of UAM operations for passenger and cargo transit in the coming years are driving the growth of the UAM infrastructure market.
