Electric Vertical Take-Off & Landing (eVTOL) Aircraft Market Expected To Exceed $200 Million By 2027

Palm Beach, FL – March 10, 2021 – Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) is an electric or hybrid aircraft that can hover, take off, and land vertically. eVTOL, electric vertical takeoff and landing, is a type of aircraft that uses electrical propulsion to takeoff, hover, and land vertically. They are designed for urban air mobility, cargo deliveries, and Military Surveillance. The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is the next generation of autonomous electric aircraft that offers enhanced safety, comfort, and reduced noise. The eVTOL aircraft industry will be witnessing massive growth mainly because of the increase in the global urban population followed by the traffic congestion. According to the United Nations, in 2018, around 55% of the world’s population lived in urban areas and is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. Therefore, demand for efficient and effective mobility in urban areas is a crucial challenge. There are many companies and municipal corporations currently working on eVTOL aircraft manufacturing for air mobility solutions…  These advancements may lead to an increase in the demand for eVTOL aircraft services in the global market. A report from ResearchAndMarkets projected that the Global Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) Aircraft market accounted for $53.01 million in 2019 and is expected to reach $204.99 million by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 18.4% during the forecast period. Increasing road traffic congestion in urban areas, rapid urbanization, and high demand for efficient transportation systems are some of the factors propelling the growth of the market.  Active stocks in the markets this week include EHang Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: EH), Astro Aerospace (OTCQB: ASDN), Atlas Crest Investment Corp. (NYSE: ACIC), Reinvent Technology Partners (NYSE:RTP), The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA).

 

Another report from ResearchDrive had an even higher projection saying: “The global eVTOL aircraft market forecast shall be $4,222.4 million by 2033, increasing from $458.0 million in 2025 at a healthy rate of 29.6%. The North America eVTOL aircraft market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 31.1% by registering a revenue of $1,283.6 million, throughout the analysis period. Strategic collaborations among the market players along with the launching of advanced eVTOL aircraft services are expected to accelerate the North America eVTOL aircraft market growth.”

 

Astro Aerospace (OTCQB: ASDN) BREAKING NEWSAstro Aerospace Appoints Former CFO of General Electric Patricia Trompeter to its Board of Directors –  Astro Aerospace (“Company” or “Astro”), a global leader in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aerial vehicles and drones, announced today that it has appointed Patricia Trompeter, M&A and financial expert, to its Board of Directors.
