Global In-flight Wi-Fi Market Driven by Increasing Use of Advanced Tech
Although more consistent with the provisions of developed economies, the in-flight Wi-Fi market is a growing market from a global standpoint. Consumers everywhere are moving towards a greater use of high-bandwidth applications such as streaming high-definition videos and other data-intensive tasks. This growing demand, coupled with the high rate of technological awareness among frequent air travelers, has opened up new avenues for the global in-flight Wi-Fi market. The market is made even more accessible to networking companies by the relaxed government regulations over the use of personal electronic devices on a plane along with the use of any networks on a flight.

The global in-flight Wi-Fi market, however, is impeded by two prime restraints. The foremost restraining factor acting on the global in-flight Wi-Fi market is the high installation cost involved. Another is the inclusion of the heavy weight of the in-flight Wi-Fi network generation devices. As technology advances, the installation cost as well as the weight of devices will dramatically reduce, creating a greater appeal for the market.

Hardware Segment Dominates Global In-flight Wi-Fi Market
In terms of type, the global in-flight Wi-Fi market is divided into hardware and services. Of these, the market was dominated by the hardware segment in 2014, when it occupied nearly 60.0% of it from the point of view of revenue generated.
