Aviation Electrification

Market Analysis and Forecasts for Aviation Electrification Applications: 2021-2035

Fully operational electric aircraft (EA) account for less than 100 aircraft around the world. Although many entities are engaged in the design, prototyping, and production of these aircraft, full-scale production is dependent on improved electric motor and battery technologies. Companies are investing heavily in EA technologies, and this diverse collection of manufacturers have created significant variation in both airframe and motor innovations.

Factors driving the development of EA range from reductions in operating costs, CO2, and noise pollution to government regulation and social issues surrounding the current aviation fleet. Although aviation accounts for only 2%-3% of global CO2 contribution, the European Commission has set the goal of a 75% reduction in CO2 per seat kilometer and 90% reduction of nitrogen dioxide by 2050. Even with more fuel-efficient conventional engines and airframes, the aviation industry would not be able to reach these goals without electrification and operation. With more than 200 companies progressing designs to the stage of flying full-scale prototypes, preparing for mass production, and working on government certification, the EA market is primed for exponential growth by 2035.

This Guidehouse Insights report analyzes the global market for EA in three key segments: aircraft seating up to 6 passengers, 7 to 20 passengers, and 21 passengers and more. The study provides an analysis of the market issues, opportunities, and adoption challenges associated with EA. Global market forecasts for aircraft sales are broken out by segment and extend through 2035. The report also examines the key technologies and manufacturers related to EA as well as the competitive landscape.
