Commercial Aircraft Cabin Interior - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)

The Commercial Aircraft Cabin Interior Market size is estimated at 6.44 billion USD in 2025, and is expected to reach 8.83 billion USD by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.50% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

With the largest market share of USD 3.1 billion, the passenger seats segment is expected to register higher growth than other product types

• The global commercial aircraft cabin interior market has been segmented by product type into seats, cabin lighting, in-flight entertainment systems, windows, galleys, lavatories, and other product types. Airline companies across all regions are emphasizing increasing the utility of these products while improving overall passenger comfort and experience.
• An enhanced seating structure with more developed space than economy-class seats is becoming highly essential due to the rising preferences of business-class travelers. Several leading airlines are engaged in modernization plans to standardize their fleets. These include stripping out the main cabin's economy seats and replacing them with premium economy seats that are wider and offer more legroom.
• Airlines are moving toward advanced LED lighting as it helps them eliminate various drawbacks of the existing interior cabin lights in terms of efficiency, reliability, durability, and weight. Therefore, advancements in LED lighting by various OEMs over conventional aircraft cabin lights are expected to drive the market's growth. Moreover, major airlines are adopting 4K technology in their in-flight entertainment screens to enhance passenger experience. The adoption of narrowbody aircraft in longer haul routes by airlines has increased, aiding the deployment of IFE systems in narrowbody aircraft.
• Around 13,000 aircraft are expected to be delivered between 2023 and 2030. The surge in aircraft procurement numbers and fleet expansion plans are expected to boost the global demand for commercial aircraft cabin interiors positively during 2023-2030.

Increasing huge aircraft orders by various airlines globally as part of fleet renewal plans and airlines focusing on enhancing passengers' travel experiences are driving the demand for cabin interiors in the market

• Customer experience is always at the top of the priority list for airlines. Passengers must have a positive experience every time they travel. To provide the best experience, airline companies are focusing on delivering new modernized cabin interiors as the interior is an important aspect of any aircraft, providing passengers with a secure, comfortable, and more aesthetically pleasing environment throughout the journey.
• The demand for aircraft cabin interiors is driven by various aircraft orders that are placed by various airlines globally. In December 2022, Boeing announced that United Airlines had placed an order for 100 787-9ss, with the option to purchase 100 more. The transaction is the largest 787 Dreamliner order in Boeing's history. Also, United Airlines plans to purchase 100 737 MAX. In June 2023, Indigo placed a huge contract with Airbus for 500 A320neo jets. The aircraft will be delivered between 2030 and 2035. Similarly, in February 2023, Air India ordered 464 aircraft that comprised 190 B737 Max, 140 A320neo, 70 A321neo, 34 A350s, 10 777Xs, and 20 787-9s. Additionally, it is expected that the huge aircraft backlog will also further drive market growth. By the end of August 2023, Airbus reported a backlog of 7,967 jets, of which 85% were the A320ceo/neo family of narrowbodies. Boeing reported a backlog of 5,579 aircraft, of which 78% were 737 MAX narrowbody jets.
• Furthermore, around 13,812 aircraft are expected to be delivered between 2023 and 2030. The fleet expansion plans of various global airlines are expected to aid the procurement of passenger aircraft and, thus, drive the growth of the commercial aircraft cabin interior market by 8.8 billion in 2030 compared to 4.2 billion in 2022.

Global Commercial Aircraft Cabin Interior Market Trends

An increase in international passenger traffic post the COVID-19 pandemic is driving market demand

• As cross-border travel was progressively restored in 2022 post the COVID-19 pandemic, the carriers in Asia-Pacific raced to increase their flights to meet runaway demand, stimulated by people's desire to travel and cash in on savings accumulated in the two years of isolation. As a result, in 2022, the air passenger traffic in the region recovered more rapidly from the pandemic than in the other regions. For instance, in 2022, air passenger traffic in the whole of Asia-Pacific was recorded at 1.9 billion, a growth of 6% compared to 2021 and 151% compared to 2020. Airline companies in the region are implementing fleet expansion plans to cater to the growing air passenger traffic in the major countries. China, India, Japan, and Indonesia accounted for 70% of the total air passenger traffic in the region, generating higher demand for new aircraft compared to other Asia-Pacific countries.
• Airlines in Asia-Pacific also witnessed a good recovery in international air passenger markets as travel demand continued to fuel growth despite increasingly challenging global economic conditions. For instance, in August 2022, the region recorded 13.1 million international air passenger traffic, an 836% increase compared to August 2021, when it was recorded at 1.4 million. The healthy growth in international passenger traffic in the first eight months of the year showed strong travel demand from business and leisure consumers. The rapid increase in air passenger traffic in the region is expected to drive the air transport industry in the future.

Demand in major industries, such as manufacturing and construction, boosting the GDP

• The Asia-Pacific region had a GDP of around USD 36 trillion in 2022. Of the total GDP, the air transport industry in China contributes around USD 80 billion annually. In India and South Korea, the aviation industry contributed around USD 13 billion and USD 30 billion, respectively, to the GDP. In terms of GDP per capita in the region, China recorded the highest growth rate of 61% during 2017-2022. In contrast, other major countries, such as India and South Korea, accounted for 27% and 11%, respectively.
• The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the GDP per capita of regional countries, with major economies witnessing a decline in demand in major industries, such as manufacturing and construction, leading to many job losses. The GDP per capita income of the overall Asia-Pacific region declined by 1% in 2020. The supply of domestic goods and services supported the Asia-Pacific countries in mitigating the impact of the pandemic.
• By country, Japan's GDP per capita declined by 1.3% in 2020, while India's GDP declined by 6%. In 2022, the recovery in economic activities, with surging demand for goods and services from these countries, was reflected in the region's GDP per capita, which increased by over 7% compared to 2021. The penetration of air travel is correlated with GDP per capita. Countries with higher GDP per capita tend to have higher numbers of air passengers. Asia-Pacific's GDP per capita income surged by around 30% during 2017-2022, which is expected to aid the overall passenger aviation industry in the future.
