By Type, the Autonomous segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

Autonomous Urban Air Mobility (UAM) represents a promising development in urban transportation, leveraging unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones for safe, efficient, and sustainable air travel in densely populated areas. Morgan Stanley Research's BluePaper reveals an increasing investment trend in autonomous flying aircraft, with potential implications extending beyond passenger travel to military and defense applications and freight and package transportation. These aircraft are equipped with advanced technologies, such as sensors, navigation systems, and artificial intelligence algorithms, enabling autonomous operation. Despite being in its infancy, UAM's widespread adoption hinges on surmounting the technical and regulatory challenges.

By Application, Delivery  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

The urban air mobility (UAM) market, encompassing advanced air mobility solutions such as flying taxis and cargo drones, has experienced a significant surge in investment interest. By the end of Q1 2021, disclosed investments in this sector were projected to surpass USD8 billion, with a substantial portion attributed to people transportation applications. This segment accounted for over 80% of the total funding. Last-mile delivery, which involves the swift transportation of packages from local distribution hubs to their final destinations, is another promising application within the UAM industry. Investor interest in this area is growing, with potential for increased investment in cargo-delivery drones.

North America is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

The urban air mobility market in North America is projected to experience significant growth over the forecast period, driven by several key factors. The expansion of e-retailing and the emphasis on specialized service offerings are primary growth drivers. Furthermore, the adoption of premium delivery models utilizing urban air mobility services is gaining traction. The proliferation of last-mile connectivity options is also fueling the demand for these services, as online shopping continues to increase in popularity. The convenience and time-saving benefits associated with last-mile delivery services have made them a preferred choice for many consumers, leading to a surge in demand for urban air mobility solutions in North America.
