US Aircraft Cabin Interior Market 2025-2035

US Aircraft Cabin Interior Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Seating, In-Flight Entertainment & Connectivity, Cabin Lighting, Galley & Lavatory, Windows & Windshields, Flooring, Interior Panels, and Others), by Material Type (Alloys (Aluminum, Steel, and Others), Composites (Carbon, Glass, and Others), and Others), by Class (First Class, Business Class, and Economy & Premium Economy Class) by Aircraft Type (Narrow Body Aircraft, Wide Body Aircraft, and Large Body Aircraft), Forecast Period (2025-2035)

Industry Overview

US aircraft cabin interior market was valued at $10.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $15.9 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period (2025–2035). The market is experiencing steady growth, driven by strong airline demand for fleet modernization, premiumization of travel, and enhanced passenger experience. Key product segments include seating, which remains the largest contributor due to high customization and cost per unit, followed by in-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC), which is the fastest growing as airlines prioritize digital cabins and ancillary revenue streams. Alloys currently dominate material usage, though lightweight composites are gaining traction for fuel efficiency and sustainability.

Market Dynamics

Fleet Replacement & Retrofit Cycles (OEM Deliveries + Aftermarket Retrofit Demand)

Ongoing fleet expansion and replacement are fundamental to cabin interiors spending: new aircraft deliveries create OEM cabin-fit revenue while in-service aircraft prompt retrofit/completions spend as airlines pursue reconfiguration, premiumization, and weight savings. Supply-side constraints (production ramp issues) and airlines’ strategic timing of cabin overhauls influence when retrofit spending spikes; Boeing’s and Airbus’s long-range fleet forecasts and revised delivery schedules are therefore consequential for interiors suppliers because even modest shifts in aircraft deliveries alter multi-year demand for seats, galleys, lavatories, and full-cabin refurbishments. Recent industry commentary and forecasts underline continuing, albeit uneven, aircraft demand that supports steady interiors investment.

Premiumization & Passenger Experience Monetization

Airlines are shifting revenue focus toward premium cabins and ancillary services; that raises per-aircraft interior spend because first/business suites, lie-flat seats, premium-economy, bespoke galleys, and higher-grade IFE cost materially more per seat than economy-only fits. This driver increases demand for seating OEMs, high-end cabin finishers, and integrated IFEC solutions (hardware + content + connectivity). The trend also favors modular, serviceable designs to minimize downtime during cabin upgrades.

Digital Cabin, Connectivity and Lightweight Materials (Technology & Sustainability)

IFEC/Connectivity spend (platforms, antennas, satellite subscriptions) and the switch to lighter materials (advanced alloys; carbon/glass composites) both raise average spend per aircraft and spur lifecycle-replacement markets for electronics and panels. Weight-saving translates directly to fuel savings, providing a business case for airlines to invest in newer cabin components. Moreover, sustainability requirements and circularity goals are prompting suppliers to develop recyclable interiors and to seek lighter, durable materials — an innovation agenda that supports supplier R&D investment and premium pricing for advanced products.

Market Segmentation

• Based on the type, the market is segmented into Seating, in-flight entertainment & connectivity, cabin lighting, galley & lavatory, windows & windshields, flooring, interior panels, and others.
• Based on the material type, the market is segmented into alloy, aluminum, steel, composites, carbon, glass, and others.
• Based on the class, the market is segmented into first class, business class, and economy class.
• Based on the aircraft type, the market is segmented into narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, and large-body aircraft.

Seating to Lead the Market with the Largest Share

Across the cabin interior categories, Seating stands out as the single largest revenue segment and is widely projected to lead the US market in share and value over the forecast horizon. Seats command higher unit prices and longer product-life procurement cycles than many cabin subsystems; premium seat models (business/first) in particular have substantially larger bill-of-materials values when compared to economy seating or smaller components like cabin lighting. Moreover, seating drives integration demand. Seat architecture must accommodate IFEC screens, personal power, connectivity antennas, and often integrates with track systems and cabin floor fixation hardware — making it a hub for ancillary cabin spend. Multiple market reports identify seating as a leading product type, and as airlines chase premiumization and passenger comfort differentiation, the seat segment’s revenue contribution grows through both new aircraft deliveries and retrofit programs. Investments in lighter seat structures (aluminum/alloy frames, composite seat shells), modular seat platforms (for faster cabin reconfigurations), and health-/wellness-oriented comfort innovations (improved ergonomics, noise-isolation) further sustain seating’s leadership in market share and value.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies operating in the US aircraft cabin interior market include Collins Aerospace (RTX Corporation), Gogo, Inc., Honeywell International, Inc., Panasonic Avionics Corp., Safran Cabin (Safran SA), among others. Market players are leveraging partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisition strategies for business expansion and innovative product development to maintain their market positioning.

Recent Developments

• In June 2025, Boeing revises long-term jet demand projections and highlights production/ delivery adjustments; shifts in long-term fleet forecasts affect production cadence and, by extension, cabin interiors demand timing and retrofit cycles.
• In Oct 2024, Delta announces cabin refresh initiatives (new materials, mood lighting, updated lavatories) aimed at improving passenger experience on selected aircraft — an example of airline-led retrofit spend influencing interiors suppliers.
• In May 2024, Collins Aerospace & Panasonic Avionics unveiled the “MAYA” next-gen business-class suite at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX 2024). A publicly shown concept that highlights how seat, lighting, and IFEC integration can create higher per-aircraft cabin order values and accelerate premium cabin trends.
