Based on the analysis, the global market exhibited a higher growth of 11.94% in 2020 as compared to the average year-on-year growth during 2017-2019. The rise in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with eVTOL aircraft witnessing a negative demand shock across all regions amid the pandemic.


The electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft represent the next generation of travel solutions that are safe, quiet, clean and work on electric propulsion. The demand for this aircraft is driven by factors such as rising awareness for reducing carbon footprint, reduction in aircraft operating cost, and growing demand for urban air mobility.


The COVID-19 Pandemic Negatively Affected the Market Due to Disruption in the Supply Chain and Shut down of Facilities   


The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted the market in 2020 due to the supply chain disruptions and shutdown of research and development facilities. Startups in Asia Pacific suffered huge losses during the pandemic. However, according to the data provider firm Pitchbook, companies in North America and Europe raised approximately USD 1.3 billion in investment in air mobility companies despite the impact of COVID-19. The market is expected to recover by the end of 2021.
