AC Motors and Propulsion Systems Lead the Charge

The AC motor segment, commanding 65.4% of the total market, continues to dominate due to its superior efficiency, reduced maintenance, and ability to handle variable-speed operations. AC motors are proving indispensable for propulsion and environmental control applications, supported by significant innovation in inverter and control technologies.

The propulsion system segment accounts for 48.7% of total applications, underscoring the central role of electric motors in hybrid and fully electric aircraft. As major aerospace OEMs collaborate with startups to commercialize electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) platforms, demand for high-efficiency propulsion motors is surging.

Regional Growth Outlook: North America and Asia-Pacific Take the Lead

North America remains at the forefront of the aircraft electric motor landscape, driven by strong aerospace R&D, government initiatives, and early adoption of hybrid-electric programs. The United States, in particular, is expected to achieve a 10.5% CAGR through 2035.

Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific, led by Japan, China, and South Korea, is rapidly catching up. Japan’s government support for electric aircraft technology and China’s heavy R&D investment in power electronics are fostering domestic manufacturing and export capabilities. Europe continues to play a crucial role through regulatory mandates promoting sustainable aviation and green propulsion projects.

Market Catalysts and Growth Dynamics

The electrification of aviation aligns with global emission reduction targets and airline sustainability commitments. FMI identifies three core trends fueling the next decade of growth:

1. Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Integration: The shift toward hybrid-electric power systems offers higher efficiency and flexibility, cutting operational costs and fuel use.
2. Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Development: The rise of eVTOL and short-haul electric aircraft in cities creates new opportunities for motor innovation and infrastructure expansion.
3. Advanced Material and Thermal Innovation: Improvements in heat dissipation, composite materials, and compact designs are extending motor life and performance.

Despite these positives, challenges persist. Battery limitations, high production costs, and the need for standardized certification frameworks are slowing full-scale adoption. However, ongoing partnerships among OEMs, startups, and regulatory bodies are addressing these gaps.

Industry Leadership and Innovation in Motion

The market’s competitive landscape is defined by key innovators such as Moog Inc., H3X Technologies Inc., Ametek Inc., Wright Electric, MagniX Corporation, Siemens AG, Honeywell International Inc., Safran SA, Rolls-Royce Holdings plc, and GE Aviation.

Recent milestones are reshaping the sector:

• Equipmake & H55 (Jan 2025): Launched a fully certified 100kW electric propulsion system for the Bristell B23 Energic aircraft.
• IHI Corporation (Jan 2025): Developed the world’s first 1 MW-class electric motor under its More Electric Architecture for Aircraft and Propulsion (MEAAP) initiative.
• RTX (June 2025): Successfully tested a 1 MW motor through Collins Aerospace, advancing its hybrid-electric flight demonstrator program.

These technological advancements underscore the accelerating global shift toward carbon-neutral aviation and electrified propulsion systems.

Future Prospects: Powering the Next Era of Sustainable Flight

Looking ahead to 2035, the Aircraft Electric Motor Market is set to play a defining role in modernizing aviation infrastructure and enabling next-generation aircraft architectures. Electric propulsion will be pivotal for enhancing aircraft efficiency, reducing emissions, and meeting new regulatory and environmental benchmarks.

As airlines, defense contractors, and eVTOL innovators align their strategies with global sustainability targets, the market’s growth trajectory appears solid and resilient. The decade ahead promises substantial returns for stakeholders investing in electrified aerospace systems and supporting technologies.
