The UAE is expected to witness a larger growth in the region because of huge aircraft orders placed by the countries’ airlines
- Customer experience is always the top priority for airlines. Dissatisfied or disengaged customers inevitably result in fewer passengers and reduced profits for airlines. It is vital for passengers to have a positive experience whenever they travel. To provide the best experience, airlines in the Middle East are focused on modernized cabin seats that provide comfort and overall enjoyment to passengers during their travel. Airlines in the Middle East have started adopting lighter seats for a reduction in the overall weight of aircraft. This upgrade will also improve efficiency and promote better utilization of cabin spaces.
- The demand for the aircraft cabin seating market in the region is driven by aircraft orders that are being placed by various airlines as part of fleet renewal and the need for long-range, fuel-efficient aircraft. Some of the major airlines, such as Air Arabia, Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Saudia, Riyadh Air, and Flydubai, have ordered a total of 391 narrowbody and 413 widebody aircraft. Of these total aircraft ordered, the UAE's top airlines, such as Emirates, Etihad, and Flydubai, have ordered 361 aircraft. The UAE is expected to witness a larger growth driven by its huge aircraft orders. These ordered aircraft are expected to be delivered throughout the forecast period, and these aircraft orders are expected to drive the demand for aircraft seating market. The Middle East is expected to see enormous expansion over the next 20 years, requiring a fleet of around 3,400 jets to serve fast-growing passenger traffic, according to Boeing. Factors such as these are expected to drive the demand in the region's aircraft seat market by 8.30% during 2023-2030.
Middle East Commercial Aircraft Cabin Seating Market Trends
The main reasons for market growth are the expansion of the fleet and the increased demand for passenger air travel in Middle Eastern countries
- The aviation industry in the Middle East recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic faster and stronger than the rest of the world. In 2021, air passenger traffic in the Middle East reached 302 million, a growth of 249% compared to 2020 and 25% compared to 2019. The increase in air passenger traffic may eventually drive new aircraft procurements, boosting the cabin interior market in the region. Major airlines have adopted fleet expansion strategies.
- A total of 498 new aircraft were delivered in the region between 2017 and 2022. During 2023-2030, around 1,058 new aircraft are expected to be delivered in the region. During the forecast period, the majority of aircraft are expected to be narrowbody. In addition, the popularity of small and economical aircraft, the success of low-cost carriers, and the advent of narrowbodies with long ranges have contributed to this trend. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are the major countries accounting for a significant number of aircraft deliveries.
- New aircraft deliveries and backlogs are expected to generate demand for cabin interiors, as various airlines in the region are opting for advanced aircraft systems and components such as LED cabin lights, wireless lightweight IFES, comfortable, lightweight seats, and other cabin products. As of November 2022, major airlines, such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, Saudia Arabia Airlines, Etihad Airways, and FlyDubai Airlines, together had a backlog of over 1,013 aircraft, of which 589 were expected to be narrowbody jets. Factors such as these are expected to drive the cabin interior market positively during the forecast period.
