Market Share of Cabin Interior Composites Industry
The prominent market players, such as Collins Aerospace (Raytheon Technologies Corporation), Diehl Stiftung & Co. KG, FACC AG, Safran SA, and AIM Altitude Limited (AVIC), combine customer-specific design processes with their extensive knowledge of composite structures, value engineering techniques, and design automation expertise, to design cost-effective next-generation composite-based aircraft cabin components. An increasing number of airline operators are investing in optimizing passenger comfort, by integrating larger overhead bins, designer floors, ceiling panels, and modern seat-backs with provisions for integrating sophisticated entertainment systems. This has necessitated the collaboration between aircraft OEMs and tier-I cabin interior designers to develop advanced, light-weight cabin interior systems. It is highly advantageous to use composites in aircraft cabin construction, owing to their high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength, and durability. The fuel savings, on account of lower weight profiles, are creating significant opportunities for the market players, especially in the cabin up-gradation programs of first-class and business class cabins of FSCs.
