Aircraft Cabin Upgrades Market Size

The global aircraft cabin upgrades market is projected to grow from USD 7.2 billion in 2021 to USD 10.3 billion by 2026 at a CAGR value of 6.5% between 2021 to 2026.

The cabin space of an aircraft is vital to enhance the image and brand of commercial airlines. Newer commercial airlines often turn to purchasing older airlines and refurbishing the interiors to influence brand image and build brand loyalty among customers. Military aircrafts use cabin upgrade services to modify the interiors to meet their unique requirements and are often modified regularly to meet the changing demands as well as adopt new technologies.

The market is mainly driven by the large demand from commercial airlines owing to the rising demand for air travel. Cabin upgrades offer airlines the opportunity to truly set themselves apart from their rivals and build customer loyalty. Airlines offer different cabins to the economy, business, and first-class travelers.

Growing demand for in-flight entertainment systems, advanced navigation systems, and real-time information systems are driving the demand for cabin upgrades. Technological advancements in materials, information, entertainment, communication, and navigation systems result in airlines turning to cabin upgrade service providers to modify and update their airlines.

Cabin upgrades allow airlines to control the amount of space available in the aircraft for passengers and crew, create lasting impressions on passengers, and reduce cabin weight. Lower cabin weight allows airlines to increase revenues by saving costs on fuel. Increased space availability for the crew can help improve operational efficiency and create a better working environment which can translate to customer satisfaction. By balancing the space available to each passenger with the number of passengers that can be served allows airlines to provide quality services without affecting revenues and improve customer retention and increase the number of repeat customers. While the long-term impact of cabin upgrades is largely positive, in the short term airlines face revenue loss due to the airline being grounded and the high cost of such modifications.

Cabin upgrades are time-consuming and have high initial costs and are required to clear various safety parameters and testing to ensure they are safe for flight. Flight safety regulation bodies across the world have varying degrees of safety standards that have to be satisfied by airlines and cabin upgrades will require clearances from such bodies which adds to the cost of upgrades and inhibit the growth of the cabin upgrades market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has restrained air travel owing to the nature of the spread of the coronavirus. With governments imposing travel bans and restrictions on passengers entering and leaving countries, airlines have taken a massive hit in their business during the pandemic. With flights being grounded and low revenue sources, airlines have had to cut back spending which has reduced the demand for cabin upgrades.

Restrictions on air travel are being slowly relaxed and increased vaccination drives are resulting in a slow uptick in air travel. As airlines are returning, they are expected to turn to cabin upgrades to improve customer experience through new cabins with better aesthetic features that create the impression of luxury and allow passengers to feel they are getting their money’s worth.
