Urban Air mobility Expo 2025
With the number of growing problems of on- road passenger vehicles, governments and technology companies have started to look at Urban Air Mobility (UAM) as a viable option for passenger and cargo transport. According to the United Nations, 68% of the world population will live in cities by the year 2050, an increment of 13% to the current scenario. With the continued increase in traffic because of the increasing population, UAM is now being considered as the ultimate solution to urban problems: eliminating traffic congestion, car accidents and pollution.
The aviation sector has been severely affected by the pandemic, and as such, the pandemic has had a ripple effect on the UAM sector also. Prior to the outbreak, the UAM sector was witnessing a healthy growth, with around USD 1 billion being invested during the first few months of 2020. The urban air mobility market is projected to grow to USD 17,269.71 million by 2035, registering a CAGR of 17.81% during the forecast period (2021 - 2035). The urban air mobility market is projected to grow from USD 2.6 billion in 2020 to USD 9.1 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 13.5% from 2020 to 2030.
