Key Highlights
- Passenger Seats is the Largest Product Type : The passenger seat category leads the North American aircraft cabin interior market. The demand for ergonomic seats with enhanced features is a new and emerging trend in passenger aviation.
- Passenger Seats is the Fastest-growing Product Type : The growing number of aircraft procurement by low-cost airlines and the increasing regional aviation facilitated the faster growth of the passenger seat category.
- Narrowbody is the Largest Aircraft Type : A fleet of narrowbody aircraft adds flexibility in terms of fleet management and helps reduce airlines' operating costs, thereby resulting in its rapid adoption. The increasing domestic air passenger traffic, globally, is also leading to the dominant share of narrowbody aircraft in the market.
- United States is the Largest Country : The United States has become the largest market for cabin interiors due to several airlines operating in the region, along with a healthy demand for new aircraft procurement.
North America Commercial Aircraft Cabin Interior Market Trends
Passenger Seats is the largest Product Type
- The airline companies in the region are focusing on increasing the utility of the products and 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 from business-class travelers. North American airline operators and OEMs are increasing their efforts to reduce weight and develop a sustainable way to manage the airline industry, in line with the zero-emission 2050 goal.
- A large number of airlines in the region are moving toward advanced LED lighting to eliminate various drawbacks of existing interior cabin lights in terms of efficiency, reliability, durability, and weight. In the United States, United Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Delta Airlines have in-flight entertainment (IFE) screens in their active fleet of commercial aircraft, while Air Canada, WestJet, and Air Transat in Canada have IFE screens in their active fleet of commercial aircraft.
- North America’s commercial aircraft accounted for around 30% of the total commercial aircraft worldwide during 2017-2022. The presence of a large number of passenger aircraft, along with fleet replacement of aging fleets, is expected to boost the demand for commercial aircraft cabin interior products in the North American passenger aviation sector during the forecast period.
United States is the largest Country
- The increasing passenger traffic is driving new aircraft procurements, thus creating demand for aircraft cabin interiors. For instance, domestic air passenger traffic in the United States is robustly recovering compared to international passenger traffic. Currently, airlines are investing more in narrowbody aircraft. There was a 52% rise in the number of aircraft delivered in 2021 compared to 2020.
- The Canadian commercial aviation sector is recovering at a healthier rate post the pandemic. The country's air passenger traffic surged by around 270% during 2020-2021. In the Rest of North America, around 24.74 million air passengers traveled in 2021, compared to 7.79 million in 2020.
- Apart from passenger traffic, the huge backlog of major OEMs may also drive the market. As of May 2022, the US airline, Boeing, had a backlog of 1,296 aircraft, while Airbus had 1,561 commercial aircraft. Passenger traffic numbers are also expected to recover by 2024. During 2022-2028, around 190+ aircraft are expected to be delivered in Canada.
- With increasing fuel prices, airlines are levying fuel surcharges on some tickets to meet the fuel expenses through customers. However, in order to avoid this challenge, airlines are incorporating lighter cabin interiors. Various OEMs are working to create new, spacious, lightweight, and visually appealing cabin interior products such as lighter seats, overhead bins, LED lights, lighter IFE screens, and cabin windows, which may meet customer and airline demand.
