Market Overview

A flying taxi is a tiny commercial aircraft that does brief on-demand flights. Commonly referred to as "air taxis," these aircraft provide a short journey inside or between urban regions for a small number of passengers. The flying taxis can take off and land vertically, and they typically travel several hundred meters above ground. These taxis are often propelled by a jet engine at the rear and are used to fly above traffic congestion and difficulties, as well as between high-rise buildings. Like helicopters, flying taxis do not require a runway, but unlike helicopters, they are quiet and inexpensive. Flying taxis are expected to have major effects on society, the economy, and the environment. It will transform how people move in cities; it has the potential to disrupt traditional transportation systems such as highways, trains, and buses, reduce pollution in urban areas, and enable considerably speedier commutes, making society more efficient and productive overall. The flying taxis are supposed to emit zero emissions and be quiet enough to operate in cities without noise pollution. Ride-hailing service firms, such as Uber, have worked with Boeing to commercialize the flying taxi concept, which is expected to provide numerous growth opportunities in the market.

Driving Factors

Increasing research and development activity for flying taxis is a critical element driving market expansion. Many companies are extensively spending R&D to create and commercialize flying taxis in the market, intending to gain a competitive edge by being the first to introduce them. Furthermore, the flying taxi is a highly sophisticated concept in terms of fuel, software and services, and propulsion method, necessitating extensive research to develop. Furthermore, with an expanding population and number of vehicles on the road, the problem of traffic jams and congestion has grown significantly around the world. This has resulted in serious problems, such as air pollution and environmental damage. As a result, the demand for flying taxis is increasing, as they help to decrease traffic congestion in cities by transporting passengers via air. Thus, rising traffic congestion around the world is boosting the expansion of the flying taxi sector. 

Restraining Factors

Regulations remain the biggest challenge for the flying taxi market, and they are expected to restrain market growth during the forecast period. This policy creates impediments to commercial launch, ranging from scale to eventual full viability. Flying taxis require various certificates, including Part 135 certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), to operate as passenger transportation. As a result, passing these tight laws and guidelines takes a long time, which is projected to slow industry growth.

Market Segmentation

The global flying taxi market share is classified into type, technology, and application.

• The double seats segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global flying taxi market during the forecast period.   

Based on the type, the global flying taxi market is categorized into single seat, and double seats. Among these, the double seats segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global flying taxi market during the forecast period. In comparison to a single seat taxi, a double seat taxi is ideal for traveling with the driver present to reach the location. Travelers can also travel without hesitation. As a result, such factors are expected to promote market growth over the forecast period.

• The autonomous segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period.   

Based on the technology, the global flying taxi market is categorized into autonomous, semi-autonomous, and manual. Among these, the autonomous segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Autonomous vehicles are safer drivers, capable of calculating safe distances, proper stopping times, and the locations of many objects around them simultaneously. Autonomous technology helps to relax people in the flying taxi while they perform other activities while they are transported.

• The intracity segment is expected to hold a significant share of the global flying taxi market during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the global flying taxi market is categorized into intercity and intracity. Among these, the intracity segment is expected to hold a significant share of the global flying taxi market during the forecast period. The flying taxis are either electric or use renewable energy, which is a significant advantage for the new technology because it is carbon-negative and can eliminate the environmental difficulties created by cars. So, in the increasing population era, air travel is very useful for intracity travel; in emergencies, anyone can travel anywhere within less time.
