Aircraft Cabin Lighting Global Market Report 2024

The aircraft cabin lighting market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.37 billion in 2023 to $1.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth observed in the historical period can be linked to several factors, notably the expansion of airline fleets, a concerted emphasis on enhancing passenger experiences, increased demands for energy efficiency, a heightened focus on passenger health and well-being, and the evolving trends in aircraft interior design.

The aircraft cabin lighting market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.92 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The projected growth in the forecast period for Air Transport Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) is driven by factors such as the demand from emerging markets, increased interest in retrofitting, a growing trend towards aircraft interior customization, sustainability initiatives, and the offering of personalized lighting options. Notable trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of retro-inspired lighting, anti-jetlag lighting solutions, the integration of voice-activated controls, biometric lighting adjustments, and the implementation of dynamic ambient lighting within the aviation industry.

The upsurge in aircraft production is poised to act as a catalyst propelling the growth trajectory of the aircraft cabin lighting market. Aircraft production involves the manufacturing of airplanes and related components, including propulsion systems and avionics. Cabin lighting, a significant contributor to an airline's overall aesthetics and branding, stands to benefit from this rise. Notably, in January 2023, Airbus SE reported the delivery of 661 commercial aircraft to 84 customers in 2022 - an 8% surge compared to 2021. This surge underscores the increasing demand for aircraft, consequently driving the market for cabin lighting.

The burgeoning growth in passenger air traffic is set to drive the expansion of the aircraft cabin lighting market. Passenger air traffic, gauged by various metrics such as passenger numbers, flight operations, and industry revenue, is a key factor influencing this market's trajectory. Cabin lighting plays a pivotal role in crafting a comfortable and secure environment for passengers during flights, becoming an influential factor in attracting customers and fueling the demand for enhanced cabin lighting solutions. Evidently, in February 2023, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported a staggering 152.7% surge in international passenger traffic in 2022 compared to the previous year. This surge, particularly prominent in the Asia-Pacific region with a 363.3% increase, underscores the growing demand for enhanced cabin lighting solutions aligned with the burgeoning passenger air traffic.

Prominent entities in the aircraft cabin lighting market are at the forefront of innovation, introducing groundbreaking products such as LED Flex Light, designed to offer vibrant, animated lighting within the confines of aircraft cabins. LED Flex Light, a flexible lighting solution integrating light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on a flexible substrate, enables versatile and customizable illumination in diverse applications. A prime example is STG Aerospace's introduction of 'The Curve' in June 2023 - a revolutionary LED Flex light adaptable for seamless cabin-wide lighting. The Curve's flexibility allows it to meet geometric and aesthetic requirements where traditional linear lights fall short. This product's customizable features, allowing the control of color, transition, and intensity in individual segments, offer a spectrum of 16 million colors. The launch of The Curve represents a significant milestone in aircraft cabin lighting innovation, providing unparalleled flexibility, adaptability, and customization to meet the evolving needs of the aviation industry and enhance passenger experiences.

The aircraft cabin lighting market is witnessing a notable surge in the integration of micro-LED technology, a trend gaining significant traction. Micro-LED technology, renowned for its ability to create highly efficient and visually appealing flexible displays, is becoming a focal point for major players in this market. Notably, in February 2023, Collins Aerospace made strides in this domain by introducing Elements business class suite and Secant Luminous Panel with micro-LED technology aboard STARLUX Airlines' A350 fleet. This groundbreaking technology enables the display of customized lighting arrays, video content, and imagery, effectively transforming previously vacant cabin spaces into illuminated canvases. Airlines now have the flexibility to integrate these panels into the cabin lighting environment, leveraging their adaptability for branding and marketing endeavors or utilizing them as stand-alone artistic elements.

In August 2022, Heads Up Technologies Inc., a prominent US-based manufacturer specializing in lighting and cabin management systems, made a strategic move by acquiring STG Aerospace for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition serves as a strategic initiative for Heads Up Technologies to expand its portfolio of lighting solutions, catering to the critical needs of both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and operators within the aviation market. STG Aerospace, a UK-based firm renowned for its innovative and cost-effective aviation lighting solutions, including cabin lighting and photoluminescent path marking systems, aligns seamlessly with Heads Up Technologies' vision to broaden its offerings and strengthen its foothold in the aviation lighting segment.
