Aircraft manufacturers are increasing their production capacity along with innovative aircraft, which are aimed to be more fuel efficient. The industry is witnessing new entrants from emerging economies in the narrow body segment. This in turn acts as a boon for aircraft component manufacturers. An increase in orders for new aircraft models are expected in the market during the forecast period. The global commercial aviation aircraft seating industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2014 to 2019.

The rise in fuel prices is one of the major challenges that airlines are currently trying to tackle. This has forced the airlines to enhance the passenger carrying capacity in their seating configurations. Immense research and development in the areas of slimmer and lighter seats has been witnessed in the recent past.

The European commercial aviation aircraft seating market is expected to grow in tandem with growth in the aviation sector. Existing delivery backlogs, rising demand for aircraft in the region, new aircraft models, and emerging aircraft manufacturers are the key drivers for the commercial aircraft seat manufacturing market in Europe.

The airlines were forced to postpone retrofit programs as well as delay the delivery of new aircraft due to the economic crisis. The retrofit market is expected to grow as a large number of retrofit programs had been postponed due to financial reasons, which will now be launched. The recovery in the global economy has helped commercial aircraft manufacturers get new orders. A number of innovation programs are in progress to develop lightweight cabin interiors and seats to increase the overall efficiency of the aircraft. Globally, there is huge demand in the aircraft cabin seat market to reduce aircraft weight and to provide the passengers with more space.

The European commercial aviation aircraft seating market was valued at $1,070.6 million in 2014 and is projected to reach $1,587.5 million by the end of 2019, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. The market, by aircraft type, was led by wide body aircraft (WBA) in 2014, with a 50.0% share. The market for aircraft seats in WBA is projected to reach $793.8 million by the end of 2019, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. The suite class seat market is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR of 19.7% by 2019. Germany is a key market for commercial aviation aircraft seats in the European region. The line fit segment held a major share of the commercial aviation aircraft seats in the European market in 2014.

Key players in the European market for aircraft seating include Sogerma S.A. (France), Zodiac Aerospace S.A. (France), and B/E Aerospace, Inc. (U.S.), among others.
