The vertical takeoff and landing segment is expected to dominate the market in 2025
Based on lift technology, the vertical takeoff and landing segment is expected to hold the highest market share in 2025, accounting for nearly half of the global market revenue. The growth of the VTOL segment is propelled by the increase in emphasis on sustainable and efficient urban air transportation solutions. VTOL hybrid aircraft plays a crucial role in addressing challenges related to urban congestion, offering a solution for point-to-point aerial mobility.
The conventional takeoff and landing segment is projected to attain the highest CAGR of 21.3% from 2025 to 2035. The growth of the CTOL segment is driven by the need for a smooth transition to hybrid technologies within the existing aviation ecosystem. Hybrid aircraft with CTOL capabilities cater to operators seeking the advantages of advanced propulsion systems without substantial modifications to infrastructure. The development of hybrid systems that work with regular runways, regulatory support, and the profitability of CTOL hybrid aircraft for business jet and regional transport contribute toward the growth of the segment.
The piloted segment to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period
Based on mode of operation, the piloted segment is expected to hold the highest market share in 2025, accounting for nearly three-fourths of the global market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period. The piloted segment in the hybrid aircraft market is witnessing a shift towards enhanced human-machine collaboration. Advances in cockpit automation and artificial intelligence empower pilots with advanced tools for decision-making, navigation, and systems management.
The autonomous segment is projected to attain the highest CAGR of 21.4% from 2025 to 2035. There is an increase in adoption of artificial intelligence and autonomous system capability in the hybrid aircraft autonomous segment of the market. The industry continues to explore advances in sensor technology, machine learning algorithms, and real-time decision-making capabilities to enable hybrid aircraft to function with minimal or no human interaction.
North America to maintain its dominance by 2035
Based on region, North America is expected to hold the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2025, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the global market revenue. North America leads global developments in hybrid aircraft with major testbed projects from NASA, Boeing, and Airbus underway leveraging extensive aerospace expertise. The U.S. accounts for many advancements given availability of VC funding in novel aviation tech and Department of Defense interest in agile hybrid platforms for varied missions.
