Commercial Aircraft Seating Market - Segmentation Analysis

This commercial aircraft seating market report extensively covers market segmentation by aircraft type (narrowbody, widebody, and regional aircraft), cabin class (economy class, business class, premium economy class, and first class), and geography (Europe, North America, APAC, Middle East and Africa, and South America).

• The market share growth by the narrowbody segment will be significant for the market growth during the forecast period. One of the main reasons for the significant market growth of this segment is the increasing focus on efficiency-focused operations of aircraft carriers in developing countries where the average load factors and seasonality majorly influence the profit margins. The narrowbody aircraft is designed in such a way that the passengers are seated in two axial groups and share a single aisle. This segment has a  twin-engine configuration that offers thrust. In order to meet the rising demand for the narrowbody segment, several prominent aircraft manufacturers, such as Airbus and Boeing, aim to scale up their annual production output. For instance, Airbus announced a plan to scale up the production rate of its narrowbody A320 family aircraft from 40 to 45 per month in May 2021. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the commercial aircraft seating market growth during the forecast period.

Commercial Aircraft Seating Market - Market Dynamics

Key Drivers

Increasing procurement of new-generation aircraft drives the commercial aircraft seating market growth during the forecast period. There is an increasing procurement of aircraft due to the increase in air travel across the world, especially in APAC. As a result, it has become essential for airline operators to purchase new aircraft to meet the rising demand in order to keep up with the year-over-year increase in air traffic. Additionally, several major aircraft OEMs have started to renovate their current production facilities to ensure timely deliveries. Furthermore, several prominent airlines are developing their own fleet modernization strategies in order to cater to the escalating demand. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the commercial aircraft seating market growth during the forecast period.

Significant Trends

Integration of technology is a primary trend shaping the commercial aircraft seating market during the forecast period. One of the main primary trends in the commercial aircraft seating market is the integration of advanced technologies such as connectivity, wireless charging, and entertainment systems into their seats. Such integrations are expected to enhance the passenger experience and offer more comfort and convenience on flights. As a result, there is a significant increase in investment in cutting-edge technology by major airline operators to enhance the in-flight experience. This trend is expected to increase further with the emergence of hybrid and electric aircraft, which in turn fuel the innovation of these advanced technologies in order to meet the specific requirements of such aircraft. Hence such factors are expected to drive the commercial aircraft seating market growth during the forecast period.

Major Challenges

Sourcing risks associated with the aviation industry is a significant challenge hindering the commercial aircraft seating market during the forecast period. In the aviation industry, the supplier base is mostly streamlined to improve the efficiency of the purchasing process and minimize costs. Hence, several OEMs highly depend on small suppliers to source specific components. The airline manufacturers are subjected to spontaneous shortages or delays in the supply of ordered components due to the factors such as capacity constraints, industrial shortages, commercial disputes, unfavorable governmental policies, and non-conforming parts. These factors will lead to delayed production cycles which in turn will negatively impact market growth. Hence such factors are expected to hinder the commercial aircraft seating market growth during the forecast period.
