Electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft and the broader urban air mobility sector is transitioning from certification programmes to commercial launch. eVTOL manufacturers, vertiport operators, UAM platform developers, and air taxi service providers are all making critical market entry, go-to-market, and fundraising decisions right now. GreyRadius helps UAM businesses validate commercial demand, identify regulatory pathways, build GTM plans, and raise capital – grounded in primary research with aviation authorities, city governments, and corporate mobility buyers.
Why now? Over 20 countries have active eVTOL regulatory programmes in 2024–2026. The Gulf, Singapore, and India have announced UAM corridor programmes. Companies entering now have a 12–18 month first-mover window before commercial routes open and consolidation begins. This is the market entry window – not 2030.
The global UAM market is projected to reach $30B by 2030 growing at 35% annually – with the Gulf, Singapore, and India representing the highest institutional buyer demand driven by government mobility programmes.
eVTOL certification is progressing faster than expected – Joby, Archer, and Lilium have all achieved significant certification milestones, and commercial operations in select markets are expected by 2026.
Vertiport infrastructure is emerging as the critical market entry bottleneck – companies that secure vertiport concessions and planning permissions first will control the commercial launch timeline.
Corporate mobility buyers – large employers, hotels, and logistics companies – are emerging as the first-mover customer segment, with B2C passenger services expected to follow 18–24 months later.

All three. We work with manufacturers on fundraising and market entry, vertiport developers on feasibility, and UAM service operators on GTM and commercial launch.
Regulatory pathway, commercial demand profile, and infrastructure requirements are all distinct. They require primary research with aviation authorities and city governments, not just published aviation data.
Typically 6–10 weeks for the full regulatory assessment, commercial demand research, and entry strategy.
