In-flight Entertainment & Connectivity Market: Dynamics

Demand for commercial aircrafts is anticipated to more than double in the next two decades to cater to this demand. The number of jet planes will nearly double and reach 48,000 by 2037. The single aisle (narrow body aircrafts) accounts for ~70% of this demand. Growing fleet of commercial aircrafts is expected to directly impact the demand for In-flight Entertainment & Connectivity system across the globe. Adoption of In-Flight Entertainment & Connectivity (IFEC) Systems by airlines across all classes to attract customers is expected to contribute to the growing market. First class and business class cabins of passenger aircraft feature various amenities for comfort and offer various functions such as personalized In-flight Entertainment & Communication systems. Until recently, amenities in the economy class segment were kept to a bare minimum. Rising competition in the global airline industry is influencing airline carriers to offer in-flight entertainment & communication systems in their economy class seating in order to attract more passengers. Certain airline carriers such as FlyDubai offer these amenities for a small pre-paid fee. This in turn is also estimated to drive the growth of global In-flight Entertainment & Connectivity Market during the forecast period.

The ongoing trend gaining momentum in the In-flight Entertainment & Connectivity system market is the airlines offering Wi-Fi connections to passengers. This enables the passengers to access in-flight and other entertainment content on their personal devices such as mobile phones or laptops during the flight journey.
