Based on the location, the vertiports market is segmented into ground-based, rooftop / elevated, and floating. The rooftop / elevated segment represents the fastest growing segment, with a CAGR of over 45% between 2024 and 2032.
 

• Rooftop and elevated vertiports are increasingly being integrated into existing urban infrastructure, such as commercial buildings, parking garages, and high-rise structures. This strategic approach maximizes the use of available space in densely populated cities and minimizes the need for new land development.
   
• Technological advancements are playing a critical role in the development of rooftops and elevated vertiports. Innovations in precision landing systems, automated docking procedures, and smart infrastructure are essential for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of vertiports in confined urban spaces. These technologies enable precise landing and takeoff operations, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing operational efficiency.
   

Based on solution, the market is segmented into landing pads, terminal gates, ground support equipment, charging stations, ground control stations, and others. The landing pads segment dominated the market in 2023 and is expected to reach over USD 4 billion by 2032.
 

• The design of landing pads is evolving to accommodate the specific needs of eVTOL aircraft. Lightweight, durable materials are being utilized to withstand the unique stresses of vertical takeoff and landing. Innovations in materials science are leading to the development of landing pads that are both resilient and environmentally friendly.
   
• There is a growing trend toward integrating landing pads with existing urban infrastructure. This includes placing landing pads on rooftops, near public transportation hubs, and in high-density areas to optimize urban air mobility networks. Such integration ensures seamless connectivity between aerial and ground transportation. The demand for modular landing pad solutions is rising, allowing for easy scalability and adaptability in various urban environments. These modular systems can be quickly deployed and expanded based on evolving transportation needs, making them highly appealing for urban planners.
   

The vertiports market is experiencing unprecedented growth in North America and is expected to reach USD 3.5 billion by 2032. North America is poised to become a leader in the market, driven by rapid urbanization and advancements in urban air mobility (UAM). In the U.S., the demand for vertiports is escalating, particularly in urban centers with high population densities and significant commuter traffic. Cities are increasingly seeking solutions to reduce road congestion and enhance connectivity through air mobility.
 

Europe is witnessing a burgeoning demand for vertiports as part of its broader strategy to promote sustainable urban mobility. The U.K. has a strong demand for vertiports driven by its dense urban environments and commitment to enhancing transportation infrastructure. In February 2024, the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) began consulting on design proposals for vertiports at existing aerodromes. This consultation aims to establish a framework for the safe and efficient use of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft in the UK.
 

The Asia Pacific region is witnessing rapid urbanization and an expanding middle class, leading to significant demand for vertiports. Cities like Seoul, Tokyo, and Singapore are actively exploring eVTOL solutions to address traffic congestion and enhance urban mobility options.
 

Japan's demand for vertiports is rapidly increasing, particularly in urban centers such as Tokyo and Osaka, where high population density and congestion are significant challenges. The push for innovative transportation solutions drives this demand. In June 2024, The Japanese Transport Ministry initiated look at supporting the practical implementation of flying cars by subsidizing some of the construction costs of the country’s first-ever vertiports.
 

Singapore is set to launch eVTOL aircraft taxi operations, with companies actively developing vertiports. This initiative highlights Singapore's commitment to advancing urban air mobility and integrating eVTOL solutions into its transportation network.
 

South Korea is rapidly developing its vertiports market, driven by its advanced technology landscape with designs for the vertiports. In May 2024, GS Engineering & Construction (E&C) unveiled new vertiport designs at the Drone Show Korea 2024. The company has developed three types of urban vertiports which are retrofit, new build, and modular (One & Two Layer). This aims to provide a comprehensive vertiport service and solution, covering all aspects from site acquisition to design, construction, ownership, and operation of vertiports.
