Market Dynamics

Introduction

In modern aircraft cabins, overhead bins are mounted to the ceiling, offering passengers convenient storage for their carry-on luggage. Over time, these storage compartments have significantly improved capacity and functionality, enhancing the overall passenger experience. The design of overhead bins has evolved to accommodate a broader range of bag sizes and shapes, making better use of available space and improving ease of access to personal items.

Manufacturers are also focused on refining the motion control of these bins, ensuring they open and close more smoothly and safely, particularly during busy boarding and deplaning periods. As the demand for more storage increases, some airlines may impose additional fees for overhead bin use, especially for larger or premium storage options.

To meet both passenger and airline needs, aircraft manufacturers are continually innovating and developing new designs for overhead bins that are not only more spacious and lightweight but also aesthetically pleasing. These advancements aim to enhance the visual appeal and efficiency of cabin layouts while maximizing storage capacity.

The demand for overhead stowage bins is anticipated to grow over the next ten years, driven by factors such as increasing commercial aircraft deliveries, the implementation of fuel-efficient initiatives, advancements in bin design, and the expansion of global aircraft fleets. Manufacturers are ramping up their investments in research and development to create more advanced, efficient, and lightweight products. For example, Safran's ECOS bins offer a 60% increase in storage capacity, are easy to maintain, and are lighter than previous models. Similarly, FACC has enhanced passenger luggage space by redesigning its overhead bins to accommodate five roller bags instead of the typical three per four-frame bin, reducing the weight by 15kg. As a result, the market for aircraft overhead stowage bins is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by 2026.

Segment Analysis

By Aircraft Type

“Narrow Body aircraft are expected to remain dominant whereas wide-body aircraft will be the fastest-growing aircraft type of the market during the forecast period.”

• The market is bifurcated into narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, regional aircraft, and business jets.
• The narrow-body segment is expected to lead the aircraft overhead stowage bins market in the coming years, driven by manufacturers' focus on creating more spacious bins for key aircraft programs such as the B737, A320, and their variants. Additionally, the faster recovery of narrow-body aircraft programs compared to wide-body models will further fuel this growth. The A320 family (including the NEO), B737 (including MAX), and A220 will continue to be the main drivers of this market segment in the foreseeable future.
• Wide Body aircraft will be the fastest-growing aircraft type in the aircraft overhead stowage bins market during the forecast period. As airlines continue to expand their fleets to meet growing demand for international and long-haul travel, the need for wide-body aircraft which are designed to accommodate more passengers will drive the demand for additional overhead storage capacity.

By Stowage bin Type

“Pivot bins are anticipated to be the largest demand generator of the aircraft overhead stowage bins market whereas translating stowage bin is expected to witness the fastest growth in the coming years.”

• The market is segmented into shelf bins, pivot bins, and translating bins.
• Pivot bins are expected to be the dominant bin type of the market in the forthcoming years. Pivot bins provide high visibility and high article retention accidents. They are currently used on all the major platforms, including the B737, B747, B767, B787, A320 family, and A350XWB. Key players are developing new and advanced products, primarily targeting pivot bins and shelf bins.
• Translating stowage bins is expected to witness the fastest growth in the coming years. As airlines strive to improve the overall passenger experience, there is a greater focus on optimizing cabin space. Translating stowage bins allows for easier access and more comfortable storage options, which can help improve overall customer satisfaction.

By Sales-Channel Type

“SFE is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period and is likely to be the faster-growing sales channel during the same period.”

• The market is segmented into BFE and SFE.
• Among the various sales channels, SFE (Supplier Furnished Equipment) currently dominates the aircraft overhead stowage bins market, accounting for over three-fifths of the total share. Airlines are increasingly transitioning from BFE (Buyer Furnished Equipment) to SFE products, driven by advancements in retrofit solutions that help reduce additional costs and prevent delays caused by BFE suppliers. SFE's popularity is also rising due to delays in wide-body aircraft deliveries, making it a more attractive option for cabin outfitting.

By End-User Type

“OE is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period and is likely to be the faster-growing end-user during the same period.”

• Based on the end-user type, the market is segmented as OE and aftermarket.
• The OE segment dominates the market and is anticipated to maintain its dominance in the years to come; and is likely to grow at a faster pace for the same period. As airlines continue to invest in modernizing their fleets and improving onboard services, the OE segment stands to benefit from the continued integration of innovative materials and high-performance equipment into new aircraft models?.

Regional Analysis

“North America is expected to maintain its dominant position throughout the forecast period, while Asia-Pacific is anticipated to witness the fastest growth.”

• The North American region is likely to dominate the market for aircraft overhead stowage bins in the coming years. Factors supporting the demand for aircraft overhead stowage bins in North America are the presence of several aircraft OEMs and tier players.
• Asia-Pacific is likely to witness the fastest growth rate in the coming years, due to high growth in air travel demand, which led airlines to make new orders for aircraft of a newer generation. The Chinese aircraft COMAC C919 is now expected to enter service in 2024, with the first deliveries scheduled for that year. As aircraft orders and deliveries from China and other Asian markets continue to grow, the demand for overhead stowage bins is anticipated to rise accordingly over the forecast period. This increase will be fuelled by the expansion of China's commercial aviation fleet and the rising need for efficient and innovative cabin solutions, both for domestic use and in international markets, particularly as new aircraft like the C919 begin to enter operation.
