The global aircraft seat materials market size was USD 148.7 million in 2022. As per our research, the market is expected to reach USD 233.14 million in 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with aircraft seat materials experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.  The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Materials for aircraft seats materials are used to construct the chairs on a military or commercial aircraft where crew and passengers are housed for the duration of the flight. These are typically arranged in rows, guaranteeing passenger safety, comfort, and a hassle-free journey. Structure, foam, actuators, and electrical fixtures are all parts of an aircraft seat. The weight of aircraft interiors or aircraft is significantly increased by the weight of the seats. Modern generation aircraft seats are made from lightweight non-metallic materials and lightweight designs to reduce fuel costs and increase the aircraft's sustainability.

Numerous materials, including nylon, synthetic leathers, silicon, polyethylene, and fireproof fabric, are used to make seat components, such as seat covers and foams. The durability and quality of Aeroplan seats are greatly enhanced by these materials. The design of the aircraft seats has a significant impact on the safety, comfort, and life of the passengers. A seat in an aircraft is deemed to be extremely secure if it can withstand high shock and maintain its position during an external impact.

COVID-19 Impact: Industry Imbalance to Restrict Market Growth

For chemicals and advance materials, the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in issues like unstable markets, a decline in client confidence, and challenges with import and export business. The global supply chain includes the sourcing of raw materials, packaging, and distribution. Moving commodities, chemicals, and other items has become challenging due to lockdowns. It had a financial impact on the markets for materials in addition to having an immediate impact on markets, supply chains, supply and demand, and all of these other things. Producers of chemicals are focusing on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply networks in order to handle this urgent situation. The pandemic impacted the industry dynamics, forcing organizations to revamp their entire operation structures to maintain stability amid the disruptions. Aside from that, the companies' business operations have been affected by the outbreak, which has an effect on the overall chemicals and advanced materials industry. This has partially impacted the aircraft seat materials market.

LATEST TRENDS

"Adoption of Lightweight Material for Aircraft Seats to Boost the Market Growth"

The preference for premium economy class travelers, which has increased the demand for the construction of an improved seating structure with more developed space than economy-class seats, is a trend that is assisting the market's growth. An increase in features will make the aircraft heavier. In order to increase sales in the market, aircraft seat manufacturers have focused on making their seats lightweight while maintaining strength, integrity, and comfort.

New lightweight nonmetallic materials, whether used in the seatback, the upholstery, the frame, or the pan, significantly contribute to lowering the weight of an aircraft. Lighter weight Aeroplan seats can help lighten the plane, burn less fuel, and emit fewer greenhouse gases. Worldwide, OEMs and airline operators are investing more in efforts to lighten aircraft and develop more environmentally friendly methods of operation. The industry is anticipated to grow during the forecast period thanks to this trend. Thus, it is anticipated that the adoption of lightweight material for aircraft seats in various sector will increase overall market sales. These new developments and varieties in product are mostly to blame for the aircraft seat materials overall growth.

Its increasing inclusion in different dietary supplements is due to the fact that it also has fiber and digestive enzymes that support gut and immune health. The demand in hotels, restaurants, and cafeterias is increasing as a result of the food service sector's rapid expansion. Edible fungus powders can be added to sauces, smoothies, and soups to obtain the fungi's nutritional and health benefits. In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that rising vegan populations and increasing adoption of it as a meat substitute will further fuel market expansion. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the market will grow over the coming years due to rising consumer awareness and the high medicinal value of edible fungus. As a result, the growth, and the increasing consumption of high nutritional food will boost the market. It will contribute to the expansion of the food and beverages industry and it will improve the overall aircraft seat materials market growth.

"Growing Adoption of IFEC Systems to Encourage Market Expansion"

This has been a key element, and in recent years, in-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) has taken on an even greater significance in determining a passenger's overall flight experience. Creating a cosy, secure, and enjoyable environment for passengers is a top priority for seat manufacturers. The adoption of seats with advanced features and technologically based comfort is increasing, which will accelerate market expansion in the near future.

Additionally, because the interior of the aircraft has such a significant impact on passenger safety and the travel experience, the top airline operators are extremely picky about it. Additionally, the aviation sector has acknowledged IFE as one of the most crucial criteria for choosing passengers when purchasing a ticket with a particular airline. Therefore, the abovementioned factors are expected to incite the aircraft seat materials growth. Over the course of the forecast period, the aforementioned factors are anticipated to affect sales of the industry. This will increase demand for the product and help the industry as a whole to expand. The growing adoption of IFEC systems is helping the market to grow.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"High Cost of Parts to Impede Market Expansion"

The primary impediment is high cost, which is one of the most important factors to take into account when purchasing or producing aircraft seats and related parts and components. Worldwide airlines are searching for some affordable solutions for the seating on board. The initial cost of premium, business class, and first-class aircraft seats is high, varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, and is impossible to compare because each seat has unique features for passenger safety and comfort. Therefore, during the forecast period, these factors are anticipated to restrain market growth. But as time goes on, this issue will be resolved in some way. If this problem is fixed, the market will start to grow right away.
