Cabin is the most essential component of the commercial aircraft, because it is where the passengers travel during the flight. Considering the kind of altitude these planes travel in, the cabins of the aircrafts need special and controlled temperature. In order to achieve the desired atmosphere, the aircraft cabins are pressurized at a pressure, which is higher than the surrounding pressure at high altitudes. Growth in the overall aviation industry is contributing to the steady growth in various supporting industries including the aircraft cabin interior market. The global industry is also gaining momentum with the swift recovery from the economic downtime, not so long ago. All these factors are also supporting the technological innovation, which is inviting more business towards this industry.
Scope of Research
The economic downfall that the global aviation industry witnessed in 2008 has already become a past for the industry. Growth in the amount of air travel and rise in different airline companies are creating positive atmosphere in terms of revenue channels and global presence of this industry. In order to understand this reach of the industry, researchers segment the global aircraft cabin interior market into different segments, based on the types of the aircrafts, various products, their fits, and demand recorded across different geographic regions. Following are the details of the sub-segmentation in the industry:
- Products: Seats, lights, galley, windows, lavatory and IFEC
- Fits: Retrofit and linefit
- Aircrafts: Wide body, narrow body, very large aircrafts and business general sections
