Hybrid Aircraft Market to Soar to USD 12.48 Billion by 2030, Fueled by Regional Mobility & Battery Breakthroughs

The hybrid aircraft market, currently valued at USD 2.92 billion in 2025, is projected to reach USD 12.48 billion by 2030 (CAGR ~33.71 %) driven by emissions rules, battery performance gains, and growth in regional and eVTOL demand.
Published 10 October 2025

The Hybrid Aircraft Market represents a transformative step toward cleaner and more efficient aviation. Hybrid aircraft use a combination of traditional combustion engines and electric propulsion systems to reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions, and extend range, bridging the gap between conventional and fully electric aviation. 

Manufacturers are focusing on developing scalable hybrid systems that offer operational flexibility, improved performance, and lower lifecycle costs. Airlines and aircraft operators view hybrid platforms as an intermediate and practical step toward zero-emission aviation, aligning with both economic and environmental objectives.
