With their convenience and privacy, these pods cater to the needs of modern travellers seeking respite and relaxation in the midst of their journey.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing focus on passenger comfort and convenience

As airports seek to enhance the passenger experience, there's a rising demand for amenities that cater to passenger comfort during layovers or delayed flights. Sleeping pods offer travelers a private space to rest and recharge, contributing to increased demand for such facilities. Moreover airports are increasingly investing in or partnering with companies that provide sleeping pod services. This trend has led to the expansion of sleeping pod facilities in airports worldwide, accommodating the growing demands from passengers seeking comfort and relaxation during their travels.

Restraint:

High cost

The high cost of installing and maintaining sleeping pods can make them inaccessible to budget-conscious travellers and can deter airports from investing in sleeping pod facilities or lead them to offer limited numbers of pods. Additionally airports that cannot afford to invest in sleeping pods or choose not to due to high costs may face a competitive disadvantage compared to those that offer these amenities. Passengers may choose airports with better comfort facilities, affecting the traffic and revenue of airports without sleeping pods hindering the market growth.

Opportunity:

Privatization and deregulation of airports

Privatization and deregulation often introduce competition among airports to attract passengers. As a result, airports may invest more in passenger amenities, including sleeping pods, to differentiate themselves and attract airlines and travellers and encourage airports to innovate and invest in new services and facilities, including sleeping pods. This can lead to an expansion of the sleeping pods market as more airports seek to enhance the passenger experience propelling the market growth.

Threat:

Limited space availability

Airports have limited space that must accommodate and may restrict the number of sleeping pods that can be installed at an airport various facilities and services, including boarding gates, retail outlets, and security checkpoints. Competition for space among these different elements can make it difficult to allocate sufficient room for sleeping pod facilities, potentially leading to their exclusion or limited availability.

Covid-19 Impact

With travel restrictions, reduced flights, and health concerns leading to a sharp decline in demand. Many airports closed or limited access to sleeping pod facilities to adhere to safety protocols. However, as travel gradually resumes, there's potential for a recovery as travelers seek safe and convenient rest options during layovers or overnight stays. Enhanced cleaning protocols and innovations such as contactless check-in and ventilation systems may become standard, reassuring travelers and revitalizing the market as it adapts to the new normal.

The single occupancy sleeping pods segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The single occupancy sleeping pods segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, as single occupancy pods may attract more travellers who prioritize privacy and comfort, thereby increasing demand for sleeping pod services at airports. With more travellers opting for single occupancy pods, airports and pod providers may see an increase in revenue as they can accommodate more individuals in smaller spaces. Thus the availability of single occupancy pods could broaden the market appeal of airport sleeping pod services, attracting a wider range of travellers, including solo business travellers, couples, and families.

The sleeping beds segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The sleeping beds segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, sleeping beds may pose competition to traditional sleeping pods, as they offer a different experience and cater to a potentially different segment of travellers. Hence the introduction of sleeping beds could lead to market segmentation, with some travellers opting for the convenience and privacy of sleeping pods, while others choose the comfort and spaciousness of sleeping beds driving the market growth.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the robust investments in constructing new airports and expanding existing airports. Over the past few years, there has been a rapid increase in passenger traffic handled by airports in countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea, among others. Due to this, the government and airport authorities in the region have announced significant investments in the construction and expansion of airports.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the presence of some of the world’s busiest airports, with millions of travelers across the region and greater demand for comfortable resting options during extended waiting periods and layovers. As the concept of sleeping pods is becoming widely known and accepted, more passengers are likely to seek out and utilize these types of facilities when available; thus several airports are looking to incorporate sleeping pods at various terminals to boost their revenue significantly.
