航空機座席市場の成長分析、動向、主要プレーヤーとイノベーション、展望と予測2025-2032
According to the latest report from Intel Market Research, the global aircraft seating market is expected to be valued at US$8.21 billion in 2025 and reach US$17.15 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4% over the forecast period. This growth is driven by increasing demand for air travel, expanding airline fleets, and increasing demand for passenger comfort and safety.
Market OverviewAircraft
seats are the seats installed in an aircraft cabin where passengers sit during flight. These seats range from basic economy class seats to luxurious first class suites with advanced amenities. The market includes a variety of seat types (economy class, business class, first class) and applications (commercial aircraft, military aircraft, private aircraft).
Key Market Drivers The
main driver is the growth in global air passenger numbers, which are expected to recover strongly post-pandemic and reach record levels by 2025. Airlines are investing heavily in modernizing their cabins in an effort to attract passengers, especially in highly competitive markets.
Another key factor is the growing demand for lighter seating to make aircraft lighter and more fuel-efficient. Manufacturers are working to develop innovative materials and designs that reduce weight while maintaining strength.
Additionally, the rise of low-cost carriers (LCCs) globally is driving demand for comfortable seating solutions that are cost-effective and can be efficiently maintained and replaced.
