In the U.S., Japan, UK, among other nations, market players receive funds from several investors. A rise in demand for mobility alternatives that allow safer and faster movement is expected to drive the growth of the global flying bikes market during the forecast period.
By Application
Emergency Services is projected as the most lucrative segments
Upcoming application areas for flying bikes
Flying bikes are fast, compact, and powerful machines that can fly with a person, with or without load above the ground at significant heights. This makes flying bikes suitable for a wide range of applications. As most flying bike products have not received approvals by governments throughout the world, and cannot be allowed to fly over cities anytime soon, they could instead be used to support rescue teams to land and take-off in difficult-to-reach areas. In 2018, Dubai police started training its crews to ride Hoversurf Scorpion 3 hoverbikes. The Dubai police saw the immense potential in flying bikes that can travel at high speeds, can cross constricted spaces, and hence, could prove to be immensely useful in carrying out timely rescue operations in cases of disasters or accidents. Successful trials of such platforms and improvement in range &stability are expected to lead to the gradual adoption by police forces across the globe during the forecast period. Hence, the rise in usage of flying bikes for critical applications including rescue operations, emergency response, military applications, and others are anticipated to propel the growth of the global flying bikes market during the forecast period.
High costs of flying bikes
A lot of capital is invested in launching future-ready solutions in the hoverbikes market. Continuous R&D, testing, improvements, and advancements in technology are required to make a practical and reliable product. Flying bikes are one of the most innovative solutions that have recently been launched in the market. The flying bike products available in the market are quite expensive. For instance, in October 2021, A.L.I Technologies launched its product Xturismo in the market at a price of around $680,000. Its price is much higher than many premium cars available in the market globally. Lazareth Auto Moto’s flying bike launched its flying bike at $560,000 each and the company plans to make 5 such products in the near future. Another major player, Jetpack Aviation has announced the initial price for the consumer versions of Speeder at $381,000, which is expected to be available by 2023. As of now, flying bikes can be bought by wealthy customers around the world. The high price of flying bikes limits their purchase only across prosperous developed regions, which is expected to act as a hindrance to the growth of the global flying bikes market during the forecast period.
By Mode Of Operation
Electric is projected as the most lucrative segments
Strategic developments by major players
In order to launch a successful product in the market, companies have over the years made key strategic decisions. One of the frontrunners in the flying bikes market- A.L.I Technologies adopted product development and agreement strategies in order to conduct trials of their product to improve its performance. HOVER or Hoversurf (the company's original name) adopted partnership and product development strategies so as to make their product robust and technologically advanced.
Similarly, JetPack Aviation entered into a partnership with the U.S. Airforce to produce aircraft & product development to make their flying bike solution- Speeder fail-proof. Such developments by market players aimed at the launch of a practical, safe, and reliable product in the market are expected to bolster the growth of the flying bikes market during the forecast period.
