Premium economy class segment projected to grow at highest CAGR from 2019 to 2027

Premium economy segment of the aircraft seating market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for premium economy seats by travelers owing to the cheaper ticket value in comparison to business class seats. Emirates has announced a new premium class to be rolled out by 2020. On the other hand, Singapore Airlines will be cutting the number of first-class seats on its next A380s, while the German airline Lufthansa will do away with the first-class cabin completely in its new Boeing 777-9s, leaving business as the highest class on select flights. These changes reflect a shift in trends that place business as the new first class, and premium economy as the new business class.

Airline Seating Trends:

- Delta Airlines:
In January 2018, Delta Air Lines (US) airline improved its premium economy seating (called Premium Select) to compete with international airlines. The airline provides premium economy class seats with extra legroom on most domestic airlines.

- United Airlines
In August 2018, United Airlines (US) announced a plan to begin charging an extra fee to passengers reserving economy seats near the front of the plane. This new policy enables passengers to pay more for basic seats that offer the convenience of being closer to the front of the plane.

Narrow body aircraft segment projected to grow at highest CAGR from 2019 to 2027

The narrow body aircraft segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment's growth can be attributed to an increasing demand for narrow body aircraft from low-cost carriers in emerging economies. Low-cost airliners tend to procure narrow-body aircraft, owing to their need for short distance travel and the aircraft's easy maintenance. This has increased the demand for narrow-body aircraft, directly affecting the aircraft seating market. Over 11,000 single-aisle aircraft deliveries were scheduled for the Asia Pacific region in 2017.

The OEM end use segment is projected to lead the aircraft seating market from 2019 to 2027.

Based on end use, the OEM segment is projected to lead the market during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the fact that the customization of aircraft seats according to the requirements of airlines before the aircraft's delivery is easier as compared to their retrofitting. Several airlines buy new aircraft, especially the narrow-body models such as B737 and A320, which are installed with new seats.

Asia Pacific aircraft seating market projected to grow at highest CAGR from 2019 to 2027.

Hence, new airlines are being launched in emerging economies, such as India and China, where passenger traffic has been increasing at an above average growth rate.
