This market research report includes a detailed segmentation of the global commercial aircraft seat actuation market by aircraft type (wide-body aircraft, single-aisle aircraft, regional jet and turboprop) and by product (hydraulic seat actuation and electromechanical seat actuation). It also outlines the market shares for key regions such as the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. The leading vendors analyzed in this report are Bühler Motor, Crane Aerospace & Electronics, Enivate, Global AirWorks and Zodiac Aerospace.
Technavio’s market research analysts estimate the global commercial aircraft seat actuation market, to grow at a CAGR of around 13% between 2016 and 2020. The growing popularity of air travel has resulted in the increase in the number of commercial aircraft, globally. Moreover, the market is witnessing increased investments in cabin interiors and rising demand for seat actuation systems. APAC is expected to be the fastest growing market over the next four years due to the significant increase in the number of aircraft in the region.
The new market research report from Technavio provides a breakdown and analysis of the commercial aircraft seat actuation segments by technology.
“Owing to the increasing demand for aircraft performance optimization and reduction in operating costs and gas emissions, the aircrafts are shifting towards the use of more electric aircraft (MEA). The manufacturers are replacing the hydraulic and pneumatic actuators with electrical actuation systems. MEA has become compulsory due to the technological improvements in power electronics, flight control systems, fault-tolerant architecture, electro-hydrostatic actuators, high-density electric motors, power generation, and conversion systems,” says Abhay Singh, Lead Analyst, Aerospace & Defense, Technavio Research.
Seat actuation system is an integral part of aircraft cabin, which offers skull and lower back support, and ensures the right seating positions for passengers over long haul air travel. Owing to the growing demand for aircraft, the manufacturers have come up with lightweight seat designs that emit a low level of noise and require little maintenance. The use of hydraulic and electric actuators in aircraft has permitted aerodynamic improvements that were earlier impossible using conventional materials.
The key vendors in the global commercial aircraft seat actuation market are Bühler Motor, Crane Aerospace & Electronics, Enivate, Global AirWorks and Zodiac Aerospace. This market is highly competitive where vendors compete on the basis of cost, product quality, reliability, and aftermarket service. Competition in the market is expected to intensify during the forecast period as the vendors are providing cost-effective and high-quality seat actuators with latest technology and materials to gain a competitive edge.
