Market Insight:

The global eSTOL aircraft market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.52% between 2023 and 2030, expanding from USD 6,591.40 million in 2022 to USD 31,318.45 million in 2030. The global eSTOL aircraft market features the orders of the eSTOL aircraft to be manufactured over the period of 2022 to 2030.

The global eSTOL aircraft market features the orders of the eSTOL aircraft to be manufactured over the period of 2022 to 2030. An Electric Short Take-off and Landing (eSTOL) aircraft is a type of STOL aircraft that uses battery technology and electricity to achieve propulsive power. This allows the aircraft to take off and land on runways that are shorter than average. Similar to STOLs, eSTOLs only need a short distance to achieve maximum take-off speed and become airborne. With advancements in battery technology, it is now possible to electrify or hybridize the conventional design of STOLs while maintaining the requirement of a short runway.

The report finds out that the innovation of new aircraft and the growing need for sustainable and fast transportation are the key trends in the market. The need for economically affordable and environmentally friendly vehicles is on the rise and has paved opportunities for electric short take-off vehicles that can be used for both public and commercial transport solutions. Currently, the leading eSTOL aircraft manufacturer Electra is working on expanding their production facilities and focusing on increasing the sale of the aircraft.

The report identifies the opportunities in developed markets such as the U.S., Canada, Germany, and Saudi Arabia among others. Moreover, several countries with dense traffic issues are likely to create significant opportunities for eSTOL aircraft over the next six years.

Research Methodology Brief:

This research has been performed by using excessive primary and secondary research methods. The primary research has been conducted by interviewing several executives and consultants operating in the eSTOL and allied industries. The information has also been collected using the questionnaires to collect the required information. Moreover, the secondary research has helped us validate the research findings through primary research. The analysts have browsed through several industry publications and company publications about new product developments and revenues/orders.

The market size has been identified and triangulated using both bottom-up and top-down approaches. In the bottom-up approach, the revenue of the company operating in the market have been identified based on the orders it has received, revenue generated through orders, and the number of eSTOLs delivered or operating. This helped us to accumulate the regional market size followed by the global market size. While performing a top-down approach the global estimated market size was split among the regions and the key segments in the market. The revenues were distributed among the sub-segments in the eSTOL market in the regional market such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East. The revenue distribution in the segments was based on the orders/revenues of the aircraft in each segment and each region. This approach helped us to triangulate the market and estimate the global as well as regional market size of the eSTOL aircraft market.

Key Insights into the Study:

The rising demand for sustainable regional air mobility drives the demand for the eSTOL aircraft market. Regional air mobility is the use of smaller regional airports to carry passengers and cargo by air across a distance of around 150 to 800 km in 5 to 50-passenger aircraft (or the corresponding size for cargo). According to the European Regions Airline Association, regional air traffic will represent 8 to 13 percent of global air traffic in 2035, compared to 5 percent currently. Additionally, the rise in regional air traffic is leading to carbon emissions. This rising carbon emission from aviation has paved the way for unique and sustainable air mobility solutions, including eSTOL aircraft. Various regional air mobility providers have identified this trend and currently are investing in eSTOL aircraft. For instance, Surf Air Mobility Inc., a leading green regional air mobility platform has partnered with Electra to bring affordable, sustainable, and easily accessible regional air travel to a wide range of customers. The partnership aims to leverage Electra's hybrid-electric short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) aircraft on Surf Air's technology-driven, on-demand air mobility platform, as well as Surf Air's Aircraft-as-a-Service (ACaaS) providing to air operators. Additionally, the company has secured preferred delivery positions on 90 eSTOL aircraft from Electra for integration into the Surf Air national flight network including Southern Airways Express and Mokulele Airlines.

The rise in middle-mile delivery is expected to stimulate the growth of the eSTOL aircraft market. Owing to the rapid internet penetration and urbanization, the e-commerce market is growing across the globe. This growing e-commerce market is expected to increase the demand for middle-mile delivery logistics. In the middle-mile delivery, the eSTOL aircraft can provide sustainable and efficient delivery services that span the distance between local delivery hubs, fulfillment facilities, and distribution centers, ranging from 50 to 200 miles. For instance, the Airflow company, which was later acquired by Electra, was developing eSTOL aircraft for passenger and middle-mile logistics.

However, infrastructure challenges can hamper the growth of the eSTOL market. The eSTOL aircraft require a suitable landing infrastructure, especially along the new routes that are being proposed and in metropolitan areas. The establishment of appropriate runways that can handle eSTOL aircraft is necessary for their growth and operation. Furthermore, the expected rise in lower-level aviation traffic in urban areas makes the implementation of modern guidance systems imperative. This involves developing complex software for traffic management and navigation in addition to installing a variety of hardware elements including emergency landing zones, visual reference points, sensors, and lighting. Nonetheless, the rising investment from the government and private organizations in the eSTOL aircraft creates an opportunity for the market to grow. More financing enables eSTOL firms to devote more resources to improving their technologies. This can result in quicker development cycles, better eSTOL vehicle performance, and cheaper operating costs.
