2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Different materials are used in the making of aircraft seats to make them lightweight, strong and
also fire resistant. The aircraft seat can be segmented into 5 main components starting from the
structural frame which is generally made of aluminium or in some cases carbon composites are
also used. Foam cushions, fire resistant (FR) textiles, upholsteries and plastic moldings together
complete the modern aircraft seat. Each airline uses different material combinations for their
seats based on the cost, durability and weight. Most airlines used contract manufacturers to
install and customize the seats into their fleet with designers, testing and certification bodies also
involved in the ecosystem. This market has been witnessing tremendous growth due to
increasing number of aircrafts being commissioned from Boeing and Airbus by Airlines across
geographic regions.
IndustryARC estimates the global aircraft seats market to increase from around 232,185 in 2013
growing at a CAGR of around 7.3% during the forecast period. The highest growth is expected
from the suite class segment of commercial aircrafts. Business class is also expected to increase
at a CAGR of 8.8% as commercial airlines focus on business customer types to increase
revenues along with getting high volumes in bookings from their LCC initiatives. Both strategies
are needed to increase ASK for the airlines and for getting profits.
The global commercial aircraft seating market revenues are expected to increase from $3.3bn in
2012 to around $4.45bn in 2018.

The demand for Aircraft Seat Material services is growing at a steady pace across the globe as a
direct beneficiary of the growing seats market as indicated in the table above. The global
refurbishment cycle for aircraft seating is around 1 to 2 years and the retrofit cycle is 4 to 8 years.
These markets are also partially but significantly impacting the overall market growth trends.

According to FAA regulations, seat covers for example cannot be used after 9 washings because
they lose their fire retardant quality.
The global aircraft seat material market is also highly regulated with various standards from
bodies like FAA, CASA, SAE, EASA etc. Standards and tests are conducted to determine their
flame retardant capabilities, density, gravity performance etc. Static load, dynamic load testing,
windmill, abuse, reliability testing are performed on the seats.
In the report, the market has been segmented by geography as North America, Europe, Asia,
Middle East and Africa. Market size and forecast is provided for each of these regions. A
detailed qualitative analysis of the factors responsible for driving and restraining growth of the
aircraft seat material market and future opportunities are provided in the report.
This report on the Global Aircraft Seat Material Market identifies many such insights and M&A

Aluminium is the primary aircraft material and it comprises of about 80% of an aircraft's unladen
weight. Around 43% of the mass of a seat compared to other materials as shown in the figure
above. Its combination of lightness, strength and workability makes it the ideal material for
mass-produced commercial aircraft. Overall it helps save weight and increase fuel efficiency
directly and indirectly sometimes by saving need for painting due to its anti-corrosion property.
High-strength alloys like 7075 are generally used to strengthen aluminium aircraft structures.
Polyurethane, Neoprene, Silicone and Polythelene are the different materials used for foam
cushions in the aircraft seats. Fire resistant polyester, nylon, cotton and leather are primarily used
as upholsteries covering the foam cushions and also as seat covers. The upholstery is put over
the fire-blocking textile layer. Polycarbonate, ABS and decorative vinyls for plastic molding to
prepare decorative closeouts, trim strips, food trays, and arm rests etc.

We also have extensive database of contacts which were used to conduct primary interviews and
also to get their inputs using questionnaires. The following specific steps will be followed for the
top-down approach as part of the triangulation efforts discussed above.
1. The global airline industry is divided primarily into regional and international players.
The data on the number and type of planes operated by each airline is then extracted.
(More than 900 airlines in operation currently)
2. The order status of new planes, number of planes to be retained and replaced is also
collected.
3. Based on the type of plane (RTA, NBA, WBA, VLA) and the airline customizations, the
actual number of seats per class (Economy, Business, First, Suite) is determined. This is
done for all the aircrafts owned by an airline.
4. Based on data collected in second & third steps, the number of linefit and retrofit seats is
determined.
5. Our extensive database (more than 1,000 contacts) in the aerospace industry will be
contacted by questionnaires and telephonic interviews to gather data and qualitative
inputs on seat materials. These data points combined with the data in fourth step will be
used to get the data on global airline seat materials market.
