Aircraft Cabin Interiors Market

Global Aircraft Cabin Interiors Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global market size for aircraft cabin interiors is predicted to be worth USD 25.39 billion in 2024 to USD 53.79 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 16.2% from 2024 to 2029.

MARKET DRIVERS

The growth of the global aircraft cabin interiors market is primarily driven by the growing number of new aircraft orders due to increased air passenger traffic worldwide.

Additionally, airlines are very concerned with improving the customer experience and, as such, are increasingly investing in modernizing existing aircraft fleets, leading to the growth of the aircraft cabin interiors market. The aircraft cabin interior features seats, inflight entertainment connectivity, cabin lighting, a galley, a lavatory, windows, a windshield, storage compartments, and interior panels. Increasing demand for aircraft due to a surge in passenger air traffic is driving the market for aircraft cabin interiors. For example, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization, the number of air passengers is expected to increase by 34.7 billion in 2026 compared to 18.6 billion in 2021.

The domestic market for commercial airline cabins has grown significantly due to the dynamism of the aviation sector. The interior of the cabin and its environment is an essential part of the flight experience that can be used to increase passenger traffic to a particular brand of airline. The increasing number of air travelers, coupled with competitive flight rates, is one of the major factors likely to drive growth in the global aircraft cabin interiors market. In addition, the integration of inflight connectivity and entertainment systems on airplanes is driving the development of the target market, contributing to travelers' relaxation.

Another factor that is predicted to support the growth of the target market is the increasing inclination of the airline industry towards customizing cabins to meet the changing needs of travelers. Long-haul flights have a long travel time, which is expected to fuel the demand for in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems for the traveler's convenience, resulting in global market growth. Increased flight upgrade activities among significant airlines to support the competitive market increases the need for aircraft cabin interiors, resulting in target market growth. Ongoing developments in cabin-related technologies to meet passenger expectations for comfort and customization are supposed to support global market growth during the forecast period.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The inflight entertainment and connectivity market is subject to regulations in several countries. It is becoming difficult for airlines to obtain approvals to install IFE systems onboard. The procedure of obtaining certifications for IFE systems is quite exhaustive due to the lengthy approval process and the high cost of IFE systems. Delayed aircraft deliveries affect the aviation industry, further affecting operations and cash flow and leading to losses for lessees.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

Global Aircraft Cabin Interiors Market Analysis By Type

The Aircraft seat segment accounted for the largest share of the global market in 2023. To meet the expectations of the growing number of air passengers, market competitors are primarily concentrating on aircraft seating capacities. Additionally, the segment growth is aided by the seating upgrades to improve customers' travel experiences. 

On the other hand, the rising demand for in-flight connectivity services, such as internet browsing, text messaging, cell phone use, and wireless streaming among passengers, particularly millennials, is credited with driving the segmented market growth. The leading companies are consistently investing in R&D coupled with sustained quick improvement in bandwidth speeds due to the increase in demand for in-flight entertainment & connectivity services, further accelerating the market expansion.

Global Aircraft Cabin Interiors Market Analysis By Aircraft Type

The narrow-body aircraft segment is expected to witness a significant share of the market during the forecast period. These factors include the rising consumer demand for visually appealing cabin interiors in short-haul aircraft and upgraded lighting systems in contemporary narrow-body aircraft platforms. Additionally, because of the lifting of limitations on domestic air travel, domestic carriers are experiencing the pandemic's fastest recovery, driving the segment's market demand at an exceptional rate.

Passengers on very large aircraft benefit greatly from the comfort and enjoyable experience that cabin illumination provides. Innovations in lighting goods, such as mood lighting systems and color-changing lights for long-haul wide-body aircraft, support market demand in the sector. Wide-body aircraft also extensively use supplementary lighting components, such as ceiling lights with high-resolution pictures and floor path strip lights.

Global Aircraft Cabin Interiors Market Analysis By End-User

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) segment is projected to lead the market for airplane cabin interiors during the forecast period. As the commercial aviation sector grows drastically globally due to an exponential increase in air passenger traffic, the need for new aircraft is growing yearly. Therefore, due to the rising demand for new aircraft, it is estimated that the OEM sector of the market will grow more rapidly during the projected period.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

Most of the aircraft cabin interior manufacturers are in North America. The United States and Canada are the main centers. The leading aircraft manufacturers in this region are B / E Aerospace, C&D Zodiac, Weber Aircraft, and TIMCO Aero System. The second-largest aircraft cabin interior manufacturers concentration is in Europe, the UK, Italy, France, and Germany. In Latin America, Brazil has some manufacturers of aircraft cabin interiors. However, the number of seat manufacturers is quite small compared to North America and Europe. As a result, Latin American manufacturers do not have a significant market share in the global market for aircraft cabin interiors. APAC has the lowest concentration of cabin interior manufacturers. The entry of new aircraft manufacturers, such as COMAC, into China, creates enormous opportunities for APAC cabin interior manufacturers.
