Narrow body fixed wing aircraft seating market to register highest CAGR over 2019-2025
Global aircraft seating market size has witnessed considerable expansion in the recent decades on account of increased air travel, innovation in seating design and ambitious expansion goals of airlines. Airlines have also been increasing the demand for aircrafts where seats are narrower and closer together so that more passengers can be accommodated on each flight.
Recently, a lawsuit was raised against the Federal Aviation Administration about the closeness of seats and the risk this poses to passenger safety in case of an emergency evacuation. But the agency found that evacuation risk is caused by the width of the exit rather than closeness of seats and therefore no regulations have been imposed on the tightening width or proximity of seats on airplanes. Airlines have registered record levels of profitability in recent years due to more seats per plane and also due to greater percentage of seats being occupied, which has substantially raised aircraft seating market share.

As air travel becomes more affordable and convenient, with a burgeoning number of travelers choosing to fly instead of availing other modes of transportation, commercial airlines are seeking ways to increase their revenue. Services which were previously included with the air fare are therefore now being charged separately and aircraft seating capacity is being increased to accommodate more passengers per flight.
The global aircraft seating market trends is highly influenced by the rising passenger traffic and aircraft seating manufacturers are coming up with new designs that will have a substantial impact on the industry revenue. For instance, the Italian aircraft seat manufacturer Aviointeriors recently designed and demonstrated its saddle seats named SkyRider 2.0 with high backs and narrow seats. The seats are so designed to help increase airline seat numbers and achieve ultra-high density.
The new types of airline seats offer many benefits to airlines. Not only do they increase profits for airline companies by 20% but they are made to be 50% lighter than standard economy class seats thus enabling minimization of maintenance costs. The seats are being designed for short haul flights so as not to be too inconvenient to passengers who are becoming increasingly apprehensive with the trend of narrow seats and less leg room. However, the aircraft seating industry is also catering to the increased demand for luxury with a lie-flat seat.
Lie-flat seats had been available in premium cabins of many long-haul flights and on some Airbus A330 aircrafts. Airbus and French aircraft seat manufacturer Zodiac Aerospace have taken that idea further and are trying to introduce lie-flat berths in the A330 cargo compartment. Airbus and Zodiac are partnering to develop lower-deck modules that will be equipped with passenger sleeping berths fitted inside the aircraft’s cargo compartments. The modules will be beneficial to passengers on long haul flights such as from U.S. and Europe to Australian destinations.

To present a brief overview of the burgeoning aviation industry and therefore the expanding aerospace cold forgings market, it is necessary to demonstrate the air travel pattern observed across the globe. Air travel has growth exponentially in the Asia Pacific region which would present the aerospace cold forgings industry with unprecedented opportunities and challenges. A staggering 3.8 billion air travelers had been reported by Air Transport Association (IATA) to have travelled in 2016 and this number has been predicted to reach 7.2 billion passengers by 2035 with most of the boost coming from Asia Pacific. China is set to overtake the U.S. as the largest aviation market in the world by 2024 while India will displace the U.K. at the third place near 2025.
One of the reasons contributing to this growth is the emerging middle class. Though the proportion of middle class in these countries are comparatively smaller than those found in more mature economies, the absolute numbers are still enormous. The upsurge in middle class households with more disposable incomes has naturally drawn people towards air travel. According to Boeing, over the next two decades 39,000 aircrafts would be in demand and at least 15,000 of these would be deployed in Asian markets with China set to become a trillion-dollar aviation market. Low cost airlines like AirAsia, Jetstar Asia, and Cebu Pacific are also another factor attributing to the rapid growth of air travel in Asia, not to mention the massive millennial population. It has been estimated that people of working age tend to fly most frequently as that saves them time.
The fact that aerospace cold forgings market stands to gain in Asia has been underlined by the recent event where Bamboo Airways of Vietnam ordered ten 787-9 Dreamliners from Boeing while VietJet ordered one hundred 737 Max planes. While the former order was priced at $3 billion, the latter came with a price tag of $12.7 billion. Remarkably, the orders come at a time when President Donald Trump of the United Sates, had been visiting Vietnam to meet with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un.
Apart from APAC however, North America also stands as one of the most vital regional contributors to the global aerospace cold forgings industry. As per reports, North America aerospace cold forgings market will register a highly exponential growth rate over 2019-2025, driven by the rising presence of numerous aircraft manufacturers in the region in conjunction with the increasing demand for aircrafts subject to the enhanced service portfolio of low cost carriers.
