Market Dynamics

Introduction

An aircraft galley is an essential component to effectively provide services to passengers. In terms of the variety of meals that can be supplied to onboard passengers during a trip, aircraft galleys are believed to significantly enhance the flying experience offered by airlines. The introduction of fuel-efficient variants, such as the B737 Max and A320neo, an increase in the demand for lightweight galley systems, and an expected rise in the production rates of the best-selling aircraft (B737, A320 family, B787, A220 series, and A350XWB) are anticipated to be the growth propellors of the market. Additionally, fleet modernization by airline operators to raise the Caliber of services provided to passengers during the flight also has a positive influence on the commercial prospects of galley manufacturers.

All airlines are urging manufacturers to create galleys with excellent utility and durability while consuming minimal cabin space. For airlines, a lighter galley is their top necessity. Furthermore, the industry will experience further growth in the coming years due to a changing tendency toward aircraft refurbishing. Galley manufacturers are investing in research and development. New products, such as Skypax and Aft-Simplex by Diehl Aviation, enable up to 6-12 additional seats with more than 50kg weight reduction in the A320 program. Similarly, Spaceflex by Safran enables 6-12 additional seats with PRM capability.

Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions:

• In 2022, Lynx Air, one of Canada’s newest airline carriers, selected Turkish Cabin Interiors (TCI) to design and manufacture its cabin interiors. As part of this collaboration, Lynx Air will equip its fleet of 40 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft with TCI-produced galleys. This partnership underscores Lynx Air’s commitment to enhancing passenger experience while maintaining operational efficiency through high-quality, state-of-the-art cabin elements.
• In November 2022, Crown Airline and J&C Aero reached an agreement to design and produce a range of aircraft cabin interiors, including carpets, seat belts, and galley modifications, tailored to the specifications of the new operator for two aircraft. This collaboration highlights both companies' commitment to providing customized and high-quality interior solutions that meet the unique needs of their clients, ensuring a seamless integration of design and functionality for the aircraft operator.

Segments Analysis

By Aircraft Type

“Wide-body aircraft are expected to remain dominant as well as to be the fastest-growing aircraft of  the market during the forecast period.”

• The market is bifurcated into narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, regional aircraft, and business jets.
• Among aircraft types, Wide-body aircraft is expected to be the biggest demand generator for galley equipment in the foreseen future. The galley equipment market for the segment is driven mainly by four aircraft (B787, A350XB, B777, and A330). Wide-body aircraft registered the highest decline amid the pandemic (2020 and 2021).
• Airlines increasingly focus on enhancing passenger experience, particularly in premium classes. Advanced galley designs in wide-body aircraft facilitate the preparation of high-quality meals and beverages, supporting this goal.

By Galley Type

“Modular Galley is anticipated to capture the major chunk of the aircraft galley equipment market and is expected to witness the fastest growth in the coming years.”

• The market is bifurcated into standard galley, modular galley, and customized galley.
• Modular galleys are expected to be the primary growth driver in the aircraft galley equipment market, with the fastest expansion projected in the coming years. Their customizable and space-efficient designs allow airlines to optimize operations, reduce weight, and offer personalized services. As airlines increasingly prioritize energy-efficient, lightweight solutions and passenger-centric designs, modular galleys provide a cost-effective, scalable option, making them a key focus for both manufacturers and operators.

By Insert Type

“Electric insert is anticipated to remain the dominant segment of the aircraft galley equipment market and is likely to witness faster growth in the coming years.”

• The market is segmented into electric inserts and non-electric inserts.
• Electrical inserts include a beverage maker, chiller, water boiler, coffee maker, and food warmer. Non-electrical inserts are divided into serving pots, rack/trays, galley trolleys, and other inserts.
• Due to the rising demand for water boilers, beverage makers, and chillers, the electrical insert type is projected to continue to have a larger market share over the next ten years.

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 type during the same period.”

• The market is segmented as OE and aftermarket.
• Over the projection period, it is expected that the OE segment will dominate the market. The main reasons for its dominance are the massive aircraft backlogs of key airframers paired with recovering market conditions.
• Boeing and Airbus have outlined plans to gradually increase production, directly influencing the original equipment (OE) level market. Additionally, the entry of COMAC is expected further to drive demand for galley equipment at this stage. At the aftermarket level, significant growth is anticipated due to replacing outdated galley systems with newer, lighter, fuel-efficient models that optimize space.

Regional Analysis

“North America is projected to retain its supremacy during the forecast period, whereas Asia-Pacific is expected to experience the fastest growth.”

• The market is segmented as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World.
• North America is expected to remain the largest market for aircraft galley equipment over the forecast period. With the presence of several aircraft OEMs, tier players, distributors, airlines, and raw material suppliers, the area is the aviation industry's production hub. Over the following ten years, the USA is anticipated to continue driving market expansion in the region.
• On the other hand, Asia-Pacific is predicted to experience the highest market growth in the next ten years due to several factors, including the development of commercial and regional aircraft (CMAC's C919), the largest fleet of commercial aircraft, and assembly plants of Boeing and Airbus in China.
