Global Aircraft Electrification Market is valued approximately USD 7091.30 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 14.58% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Aircraft electrification is the process of replacing traditional mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems in aircraft with electrical systems. This involves using electric motors, batteries, and other power electronics to control various aircraft functions, including propulsion, environmental control, and flight control. Aircraft electrification has gained traction in recent years as a way to reduce the environmental impact of air travel.
Electric aircraft are much quieter and emit far fewer pollutants than traditional aircraft. In addition, they are more efficient, which means they use less fuel and can fly further on a single charge. The key factor driving the market growth is growing need for cleaner and quieter aircraft, advances in batteries, electric motors, and power electronics, increase in demand for unmanned aerial vehicles, and surging demand for electrical systems in aircraft that anticipated to create the lucrative demand for the market during forecast period.

Moreover, the rising demand for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is one of the factors driving the growth of the aircraft electrification market. UAVs require reliable and efficient power systems to operate, and electrification technologies are becoming increasingly popular to achieve these requirements. Electric propulsion systems are being used in UAVs to provide a more efficient and cleaner alternative to traditional combustion engines. These systems offer benefits such as reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and quieter operation, making them ideal for applications such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and cargo transport.
According to Statista, in 2018, the global unmanned aerial vehicles was valued USD 25.59 billion, and the number is anticipated to reach USD 70.28 billion by 2029. As a result, the rising UAVs market is anticipated to support the market growth during forecast period. Additionally, development of lithium-ion batteries, and emergence of advanced air mobility is anticipated to create the lucrative opportunity for the market during forecast period. However, the high limited range of electric aircraft stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
