Europe & CIS aircraft seating market is expected to grow at a high CAGR in the forecast period due to increasing focus on the level of comfort and safety offered to passengers during travel.

 

Europe & CIS Aircraft Seating Market Scope

Europe & CIS aircraft seating market provide better scope to both established players and new emerging players due to increasing demand in aftermarket. Aircraft seats have a significant impact on the interior weight of the aircraft. To save fuel costs, aircraft interiors prefer light construction with lighter materials, better configuration, and compact geometry. The European & CIS aircraft seating market consists of both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), who supply seats directly to aircraft manufacturers, and their aftermarket suppliers, who provide aircraft seat replacements and upgrades. The passenger seating market has great growth potential as the region faces a huge need for modernization of airlines and increased air traffic. Therefore, passenger seating based on seat type is expected to grow at a significant CAGR in the coming years, which will further boost the overall Europe & CIS aircraft seating market.

Europe & CIS Aircraft Seating market Overview

As aircraft seats are one of the main determinants of passenger comfort, aircraft manufacturers are gradually introducing lightweight, top-quality, high-quality seats to enhance the flying experience. Furthermore, by aircraft type, the market is segmented into narrow-body, wide-body, regional, and business aircraft, with the narrow-body segment expected to lead the market during the forecast period. There is an increasing demand for technologically advanced cabin seats in addition to lighter passenger seats for aircraft. With the growth of the global economy and rising consumer spending, the demand for economy seats on airplanes has increased in recent years, making air travel more accessible to passengers. In addition, the Europe & CIS aircraft seat market is driven by growing demand for Customized seats. Additionally, modernization of existing aircraft seating infrastructure is expected to continue to drive the Europe & CIS aircraft seating market.

Increasing Commercial Travel Across Region

The Europe & CIS region is one of the busiest air traffic regions in the world, with many passengers traveling for business, pleasure, and other purposes. Additionally, a growing middle class and rising incomes contribute to the steady growth of aircraft fleets in the region. Furthermore, most airlines are adding more economy seats to their fleets in an effort to meet the rising demand for low-cost air travel, which raises the overall demand for aircraft seats. In 2022, across the European region, a total of over 6,800 aircraft, with 86% of the aircraft in service serves the air travel needs of passengers. In addition, increased passenger air traffic, heightened passenger safety concerns, and the development of new lighter and stronger seat material systems have accelerated the replacement rate of current aircraft seats in recent years, leading to rapid growth in Europe & CIS aircraft seating market. Due to above developments, the Europe & CIS aircraft seat market is expected to grow further in the coming years.


Safety Regulation Impact The Growth

Complying with severe safety rules imposed by many European governments to increase safety is one of the hurdles in the European aircraft seating business. Also, to guarantee passenger safety during flight, aircraft seating must adhere to strict safety criteria specified by aviation authorities. Moreover, to comply with new regulations many airline companies put orders for new aircraft seats and modify older equipment, resulting in seating manufacturers with increased orders. However, as new orders for seats are placed in significant numbers, the seat makers must ensure that engineering, supply chain, certification issues, and safety laws do not impede the delivery of new seats to aircraft Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEMs) and Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) providers. Additionally, the manufacturing of seats was hampered by design modifications, incorrect future projections, and trade delays, which restrains the expansion of the European aviation seating market.

 

Increasing Popularity of Smart and Advanced Aircraft Seating

Airline companies spend hundreds of millions to modernize the interiors of their planes and improve the services they provide to passengers. According to standards used in the aircraft industry, seat design is growing very quickly. To minimize weight and increase fuel efficiency while using sustainable materials, designers, and engineers must consider sustainability while selecting materials for aircraft seating. The interior and comfort of an aircraft are heavily prioritized by many airline operators, which has a big impact on traveler’s safety and satisfaction. The comfort and aesthetics of seats are highly competitive among manufacturers. In recent years, when traditional suppliers have manufacturing challenges, new entrants have shaken up the market and succeeded with innovative concepts. Material selection is important since it affects weight, prices, and maintenance requirements. With rising demand for smart seating, Europe & CIS aircraft seating market to get boost in sales in upcoming years.
