Commercial Aircraft Lavatory System Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Aircraft Type (Business Jet, Commercial Aircraft and Regional Aircraft), Technology (Recirculating Technology and Vacuum Technology), Component, End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Commercial Aircraft Lavatory System Market is accounted for $1.62 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $2.17 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. The lavatory is one of the most important interior elements in an airplane cabin; it must withstand high speeds and abrasion without leaking a drop. It must also be strong, consume the least amount of water feasible to lighten the aircraft, improve fuel efficiency, and endure frequent usage by passengers. From airline to airline and from aircraft to aircraft, lavatory designs differ. Its design has been continuously enhanced by manufacturers, who used new, cutting-edge materials to make it lighter. They also decreased the size of the restrooms without sacrificing passenger comfort.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), international passenger demand (RPK) decreased by 75.6%, and domestic passenger demand decreased by 48.8% in 2020.
Market Dynamics:Driver:Innovation and development of touch free aircraft lavatories
The airlines have begun putting in touch-free lavatory fixtures including foot-operated toilet flushing switches, infrared trash bins, and hand sanitizer dispensers. The airlines take hygienic measures by using intensive cleaning procedures, high-efficiency particle absorption HEPA filters, mask use, and social seclusion. The touch-free restroom is anticipated to be a component of the airline solution package. Major aircraft carriers are also intensifying their post-flight electrostatic sprayer bathroom cleaning operations. These effective initiatives are transforming the restroom system to a touch-free one.
Restraint:Stringent safety regulations
To prevent property and environmental damage, human harm, and even death, the government has issued strict safety standards for airplane lavatory systems. The galley, the cabin, the restrooms, and the luggage hold all provide unique circumstances that occasionally call for different standards. The latest improvements in lavatory accessibility that follow standards come at a significant expense to the aircraft management. These rules are hindering the expansion of the segments.
Opportunity:Technological advancements
The market for aircraft restroom systems is quite competitive. Gaining a revenue share requires both competitive pricing and advancements in component technology. With each passing year, aircraft lavatory systems get more sophisticated and include new features often. Significant industrial companies including Yokohama Aerospace, Asia Spirit, and The Nordam Group are heavily investing. This will probably accelerate the market's growth in the near future.
Threat:Closure of jumbo jets
The jumbo-jets featured extra lavatories so that travelling was hassle-free. A COVID epidemic has led to the elimination of commercial jumbo jets like the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 since the need for four-engine aircraft has decreased. The market's ability to grow is severely impacted by ceasing manufacture of commercial jumbo planes.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic had a terrible impact on the market for airplane lavatory systems since air traffic had drastically decreased. Due to several airline’s delays or cancellations of the aircraft purchases, the market for lavatory systems became unsure. As a result, there was an outrageous decline in the market for airplane restroom systems.
The recirculating technology segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The recirculating technology segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. A waste tank with a flushing fluid inside is linked to the valve-controlled drain line of an aircraft's recirculating toilet system. This method eliminates all odours from the lavatory. Recirculated air and outside air are used to ventilate the cabin. The amount of ambient air has an influence on aviation's carbon footprint. Less danger and enhanced safety qualities are driving the segment's growth.
The OEM segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The OEM segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Many OEM firms are expanding their businesses through acquisition, and some are starting their own production facilities for certain of their parts and components. Companies are becoming more interested in creating their own supply chain networks for parts and components as they see the advantages of upstream and downstream supply chain control. This aspect is driving the segment’s growth.
Region with largest share:North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. This region is home to the manufacturing facilities of major commercial aircraft air framers, tier players, sub-system and component suppliers, and raw material suppliers. This region has several topmost manufacturers. Boeing is the largest buyer of airplane lavatories in the area. It also has stringent regulations by regulatory bodies such as FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
Region with highest CAGR:Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. China and India are predicted to be the growth engines in Asia-Pacific. The most obvious factors responsible for the highest growth of the region are the rising demand for commercial aircraft to accommodate rising passenger traffic, along with the high focus on developing commercial and regional aircraft locally (COMAC C919) and the opening of manufacturing facilities by key players.
