Berg Insight Report Predicts More Gradual Ramp-up for Electric Aircraft
A report from the Swedish market research group charts the anticipated scaling up in deliveries of new aircraft in the commercial and private sectors.

Market research specialist Berg Insight sees electric aircraft, including eVTOL vehicles, gaining traction more slowly than many advanced air mobility (AAM) pioneers have projected. Still, it expects them to be a major part of the air transportation industry by the 2030s. In a new report, the Swedish company predicts a “high value rather than high volume” start for the sector.

While acknowledging that a few piloted eVTOL aircraft will enter service by the end of this decade, Berg Insight analyst Henrik Littorin feels it will be between 2031 and 2035 before the ecosystem for advanced air mobility is in place to support larger-scale operations and public acceptance of the aircraft takes root. During this period, he predicts, as many as 20,000 vehicles will be delivered globally.
