Innovations remain at the core of business for cabin interior stakeholders. The first thing that comes to mind when talking about cabin interiors is technological advancement taking the industry to the next level. The entire interior community is heading in several directions, addressing a handful of market requirements including but not limited to lightweight, hygiene, cost-reduction, space optimization, and aesthetics. All the major players have introduced several product launches in the past decade, making several strides to address keep changing business requirements. All the time, they are creating a new business case to keep themselves ahead of the competition.

Covid-19 Impact

In most industries, the pandemic slackened product developments and innovations, whereas the case was reversed with interiors. The pandemic expedited the entire product development process with a series of innovations in the past two years. Cabin lining has paramount importance and cannot be simply ignored when discussing interiors. It plays a huge role in the entire passenger experience enhancement process.  However, if we keep product developments aside and discuss the market numbers then the entire discussion will lead in other directions.

Like other interior products, the market for cabin lining witnessed a massive nosedive in the year 2020 in the wake of the pandemic. The entire demand was frozen up with airlines diverting their focus on cash conservation and almost stopped buying new aircraft as well as procuring interior products including cabin lining for their existing aircraft fleet. As a result of that, the market for cabin lining for the aircraft industry plunged by over 40% in the market in 2020, equivalent to the one-decade-old market numbers. The decline in the year 2020 was the biggest in the past two-three decade.

The balance sheets of the major companies indicate the pressure of the pandemic on tier players. The year 2021 intensified the existing burden of tier players, taking another double-digit dip, and crashing the hope of tier players regarding recovery. The year 2022 is anticipated to be a good year by kicking off real recovery and may form a 5–6-year recovery cycle of the market.
