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.

Market Segmentation
by Type:
Economy Class Seats: Dominates the market with approximately 85% share. These are standard seats used by most airlines in the majority of their cabins.
Business Class Seats: Offer more space and comfort than economy class. Growth is driven by premium economy class offerings.
First Class Seats: These are the most luxurious and spacious seats, but are declining in many markets due to improvements in business class.
Others: Includes crew seats and special-purpose seats.
By Application:
Commercial Aircraft: Driven by demand for commercial aviation, this is the largest segment.
Military Aircraft: Specialized seats for military transport planes and other aircraft.
Private Aircraft: Luxury customized seats for private jets and business aviation.

Modular Design
Modular seats allow for easier maintenance and reconfiguration, allowing airlines to upgrade and repair seats more efficiently and reducing aircraft downtime.

Ergonomics and comfort:
Even in economy class, manufacturers are incorporating ergonomic designs to reduce passenger fatigue, with features like adjustable headrests and lumbar support becoming standard.

Market Challenges
High Development Costs
Designing and certifying new seats can pose significant challenges for smaller manufacturers, especially as it requires investment in advanced materials and safety features.

Regulatory compliant
seats must meet strict safety standards set by authorities such as the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency). The certification process can be lengthy and expensive.

Supply Chain Issues
: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fragility of global supply chains. Some manufacturers still face challenges sourcing specialty materials.

Future Outlook:
The market is expected to continue growing as air travel recovers and expands. Key trends to watch:

Sustainability: Lightweight materials not only reduce fuel consumption but also align with airline sustainability goals.

Growth of Premium Economy Class: Many airlines are introducing Premium Economy Class, creating demand for seats with features that are intermediate between economy class and business class.

Emerging Markets: Asia Pacific and the Middle East are expected to see the highest growth due to the expansion of the aviation market.
