Europe Commercial Aircraft Cabin Interior Market Trends
Passenger Seats is the largest Product Type
- The European commercial aircraft cabin interior market has been segmented into seats, cabin lighting, in-flight entertainment systems, windows, galley, lavatories, and other product types. The airline companies in the region are emphasizing increasing the utility of these products while improving the overall passenger comfort and experience.
- An enhanced seating structure with more developed space than economy-class seats is becoming highly essential due to rising preferences for business-class travelers. European airline operators and OEMs are increasing their efforts to reduce weight and develop a sustainable way to manage the airline industry, considering the zero-emission 2050 goal.
- The airlines in the region are moving toward advanced LED lighting as it has helped the airlines eliminate various drawbacks of existing interior cabin lights in terms of efficiency, reliability, durability, and weight. So, various OEMs possess advanced LED lighting over conventional aircraft cabin lights.
- The major European carriers, such as Air Europa, Air France, British Airways, and Iberia Airlines, improvised their in-flight entertainment systems in terms of screen quality and features. Around 2,500 passenger aircraft are expected to be delivered in the region during 2023-2029. The surge in aircraft procurement numbers is expected to boost the demand for commercial aircraft cabin interior products in the European passenger aviation sector during the forecast period.
Turkey is the largest Country
- Cabin interiors in aircraft have evolved into a prominent component of the overall passenger experience. European airline companies are now focusing on modernized cabins to improve the passenger experience.
- The increase in air passenger traffic is driving the demand for new aircraft procurements, further boosting the cabin interior market. For instance, in 2021, air passenger traffic in Europe recorded 1.05 billion, which is a growth of 191% compared to 2020 and -9% compared to 2019. Airline companies in the European region are implementing fleet expansion plans to cater to the growing air passenger traffic in the major countries. The United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain accounted for 36% of the total air passenger traffic in the European region. Hence, the growing air passenger traffic is expected to generate demand for new aircraft in these countries compared to other European countries.
- The increasing air passenger traffic may eventually boost aircraft orders and deliveries. The major commercial aircraft manufacturing OEMs, Boeing and Airbus, are expected to deliver a large number of aircraft in the region. On this note, 2,500+ new jets are expected to be delivered to the region. Of the 2,500+ jets, 2,100+ are expected to be narrowbody aircraft, primarily due to the preference for economical smaller aircraft, the success of LCCs, and the introduction of long-range narrowbody aircraft. The major airline companies in the region, such as Air France, British Airways, and Lufthansa, are emphasizing improving the overall passenger experience in the aircraft, thus aiding the demand for commercial aircraft cabin interior products in the region.
