Aircraft galley carts, commonly referred to as airline trolleys, are specialized units designed to facilitate the transportation, storage and service of food, beverages and other necessities during commercial and private flights. These carts are an essential component of in-flight services, used extensively by cabin crew to ensure efficient service delivery and waste management during flight operations.
The aircraft galley carts market consists of revenues earned by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that are primarily constructed from lightweight yet durable materials such as aluminum and composite materials. Aircraft galley carts are engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of frequent use while complying with stringent aviation safety and weight regulations. They feature a modular design with secure compartments, lockable doors and smooth-rolling wheels, making them easy to maneuver within the confined space of an aircraft cabin. Most carts are designed to fit precisely into aircraft galleys, adhering to industry-standard dimensions.
The global aircraft galley carts market was valued at $1,613.90 million in 2019 which grew till 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 1.00%.
Rising Air Passenger Traffic
The rising air passenger traffic supported the growth of the aircraft galley carts market during the historic period. As passenger traffic increases, airlines expand flight schedules to meet demand, driving the need for additional aircraft and supporting equipment, including galley carts. Higher flight frequencies require airlines to maintain a larger inventory of galley carts to ensure seamless operations. Additionally, rising passenger numbers intensify the demand for onboard catering and meal services, necessitating efficient galley carts for storage, transportation and service. For example, according to the International Air Transport Association, a Canada-based Trade association, total passenger air traffic in January 2023 (measured in revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) rose 67.0%, compared with January 2022. Therefore, the rising air passenger traffic drove the growth of the aircraft galley carts market.
Innovative Wireless Communication Solution For Airplane Galley Inserts
Companies operating in the aircraft galley carts market are focusing on developing innovative wireless connectivity solutions to enhance the efficiency and operational effectiveness of in-flight services. Wireless connectivity solutions are technologies and systems that allow devices to communicate, exchange data and operate without requiring physical cables or wires. They utilize wireless communication protocols and networks to create connections between devices, systems and users. For instance, in June 2023, Collins Aerospace , a US-based aerospace and defense company, launched connected galley inserts, to enhance the functionality of aircraft galleys. These connected galley inserts automatically transmit real-time data from the aircraft to maintenance operations, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs for airlines. They can distinguish between specific component issues within the unit and broader aircraft interface problems, such as faulty water or power supplies. This functionality enables quicker fault identification, reduces troubleshooting time and minimizes the risk of misdiagnosis.
