    What is an Electric Motor?

    Electric motors are more efficient at converting electricity into propulsive power. Fuel cells, solar cells, ultra-capacitors, power beaming, or batteries provide the electricity needed to operate the aircraft's electric motors. Electrical propulsion systems are designed to significantly reduce fuel use, which lowers emissions by using electric motors. Electric motors used in aircraft propulsion systems, have high power density and power voltage as compared to medium-speed motors.

    Market Dynamics

    The need for new technology in the aviation sector is driven by rising environmental awareness and anticipated increases in air traffic in the coming decades. The use of electric propulsion in electric aircraft may reduce carbon emissions, but only if new technologies can offer the appropriate power, weight, and reliability, required for a successful aircraft fleet.

    The rising demand for more electric aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is expected to increase the employment of high-speed electric motors to power airplanes.

    Although the market is still at the nascent stage, it is anticipated that there will be further development in the market competition with the rise in the demand for electric motors for propulsion systems. This is owing to several benefits of electric motors over the ICE engines, such as lighter weight, lesser noise, compactness, mechanically simple, provision of higher efficiency, and lower energy cost.

    By Aircraft Type

    The electric motors market for aircraft propulsion systems is classified as commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, general aviation, unmanned aerial vehicle, and advanced air mobility. Among all the aircraft types, advanced air mobility is likely to hold the largest share of the market during the forecast period and is also anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the same period. This is majorly owing to an increase in the demand for eVTOLS across regions. In addition, there have been multiple pre-orders of such aircraft, which is projected to propel the market growth in the coming years.

    By Product Type

    The market is segmented into AC motors and DC motors. Between product types, the DC motor is expected to remain the dominant as well as the faster-growing market segment during the forecast period. With the use of these motors, there has been a substantial increase in the use of simple and lightweight electric aircraft models. Depending on the application's load, different DC motors have different torque and speeds, which is driving the market for DC motors.

    By Motor Type

    The market is bifurcated into induction motors and permanent magnet motors. Between motor types, permanent magnet motor is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. These motors have a higher torque density and are less fault-tolerant by nature. These motors have several other benefits, such as being lightweight, high thermal resistivity, and lower price, which are driving the adoption of these motors.

    By Torque Type

    The market is segmented into 50-200NM and >200NM. >200NM motors are majorly used in aircraft having a wider range and requiring more power for propulsion, such as regional aircraft and AAM. The torque type is expected to grow at a faster pace during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to large or heavy applications by providing high torque at a slower speed.

    By Power Type

    The market is segmented into 10-200KW and >200KW. In the coming years, the 10-200KW market segment is expected to grow at a faster pace and be the bigger market category during 2023-2028. The majority of the motors used in UAVs, AAMs, and general aviation aircraft will be in this power range.

    By End-User Type

    The market is segmented into OE and aftermarket. Between these end-user types, OE is likely to hold the dominant share during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is driven by a series of upcoming electric aircraft programs, especially at the advanced air mobility level. 

    Regional Analysis

    Europe is expected to remain the largest demand generator for the electric motors market for aircraft propulsion systems during the forecast period. This region is home to Pipistrel d.o.o., which is one of the leading electric aircraft OEMs. Also, the presence of key electric motor manufacturers, such as Safran, Rolls-Royce plc, and MGM COMPRO, is driving the growth of the regional market.
