Global Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market size is expected to reach $ 4186 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 13.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) refers to a transportation system that utilizes electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to move people and goods within and between urban areas. It aims to alleviate traffic congestion, reduce travel times, and offer a more sustainable transportation option compared to traditional road-based travel. UAM is a subset of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), which includes a broader range of air transportation applications beyond urban areas.
The main market drivers include the following:
1. Policy support and subsidy drive
Global policy tilt:
China: The 2025 "Low-altitude Economy Leading Urban Air Traffic Planning" proposes innovative measures, including the release of the low-altitude large-scale model "Tianmu", to achieve intelligent airspace management and improve dispatch efficiency by more than 80%.
EU: Through policies such as the "European Green Agreement", support the research and development and commercialization of UAM technology and promote the application of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
US: FAA issued the "UAM Integration Guide" to simplify the airworthiness certification process and accelerate the commercialization of eVTOL.
Industry standard improvement:
China issued the "Urban Air Traffic Management Regulations" to clarify airspace use, flight rules and safety standards.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) formulated the "UAM Operation Safety Guide" to promote global technology mutual recognition.
2. Technological progress and industrial upgrading
eVTOL technological breakthroughs:
Battery technology: EHang Intelligent's EH216-S equipped with solid-state batteries completed 48 minutes of uninterrupted flight, with a range of 60%-90% and an energy density of 480Wh/kg.
Autonomous driving: eVTOL achieves L4 autonomous driving, optimizes path planning through AI algorithms, and reduces the risk of human operation.
Material science: The application of carbon fiber composite materials in the fuselage reduces weight while improving structural strength.
Intelligent airspace management:
China's "Tianxing" central system realizes intelligent management of the entire process of low-altitude traffic, with conflict warning time 30 minutes in advance and emergency response speed increased by 50%.
3. Urbanization and traffic congestion needs
Ground traffic pressure
Beijing, Shanghai and other first-tier cities have piloted UAM, connecting key nodes such as airports and commercial areas to shorten commuting time.
Emerging application scenarios:
Medical rescue: UAM can deliver emergency supplies within 30 minutes in remote areas, improving emergency rescue efficiency.
Urban logistics: SF Express drones are piloted in Shenzhen to complete the last mile of delivery, reducing costs by 40%.
4. Environmental pressure and sustainable development
Carbon emission targets:
The global aviation industry has pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. UAM, as an electrification solution, reduces carbon emissions by 70% compared to traditional helicopters.
China's "UAM Environmental Protection White Paper" requires that the carbon emission intensity of UAM operations be reduced by 50% by 2030.
Clean energy applications:
Ehang Intelligent and CATL cooperate to develop hydrogen fuel cell eVTOL, with a range of more than 200 kilometers.
The urban air traffic (UAM) market is driven by policies, technologies, and demands. In the future, UAM will develop in the direction of long-range, high-load, and all-electric, and will be deeply integrated with smart cities and low-altitude logistics to become a core component of a three-dimensional transportation network.
