The global drone taxi market is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period (2021-2027).  The primary factor driving the market is its advantages including reduction in traffic congestion, increasing transportation efficiency, and reduction in the level of noise pollution. Further, it can be used to carry passengers for intracity or intercity transportation. The major attributable factor for the rapid increase in drone taxis is an increase in the urban population coupled with increasing demand for electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVOTLs) in various countries. 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Drone Taxi Market

COVID-19 pandemic led to a positive impact on the growth of the market. During the pandemic, the company has strategically invested in the production of the drone. For instance, in February 2020, Toyota invested $590 billion in Joby Aviation and EHang’s $650 million initial public offerings (IPO) valuation. However, the pandemic has impacted the R&D activities of companies such as Uber Air Taxis. Further, there were disruptions in supply chain and logistics operations due to the lockdown imposed by the government of several countries. 

Segmental Outlook

The global drone taxi market is segmented based on autonomy, propulsion type, end-user and range. Based on autonomy, the market is segmented into remotely piloted and fully automated. Among autonomy, the remotely piloted segment is expected to have a considerable share in the market during the forecast period. Based on propulsion type, the market is segmented into fully electric, hybrid, and electric hydrogen. Based on end-user, the market is segmented into ride-sharing companies, scheduled operators, and hospital and medical agencies. Among the end-user, the ride-sharing segment of the market is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. The segmental growth is attributed to the need for fast transport and the presence of a large number of air taxi operators. Based on the range, the market is segmented into intracity and intercity. Among the range, the intracity segment is expected to have a considerable share in the market owing to the rising on-demand air transportation within core urban areas.
