Frost Radar™: Global Commercial Aircraft Cabin Interiors Market, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing geopolitical chaos prompted organizations globally to hasten the development of commercial aircraft interior products that would help ensure passengers’ in-cabin health and safety and restore their confidence in air travel.

However, apart from geopolitical chaos, technological disruption has re-energized this market. Most companies have implemented significant research and development (R&D) expenditure on new technologies to counter the spread of microbes and viruses in aircraft cabins. Touchless solutions, increased use of data analysis for multiple applications, development of new sanitization solutions and technologies, and passengers’
in-cabin comfort are key R&D focus areas. Additionally, a few companies are developing sustainable solutions for weight reduction inside aircraft.

Companies starting out in this space usually develop their business in the retrofit market first. The end goal for all companies is for aircraft original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to approve their products for linefit supply. Successful companies usually achieve this approval within 5 to 7 years of product launch after proven performance with consistent retrofit deliveries and by fostering long-term relationships with end users (such
as airlines).
