Premium economy class segment projected to grow at highest CAGR from 2019 to 2025
Base on seat type, the premium economy class segment of the aircraft seat upholstery market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for premium economy seats owing to the cheaper ticket value in comparison to business class seats. Emirates has announced a new premium class to be rolled out by 2020. On the other hand, Singapore Airlines will be cutting the number of first-class seats on its next A380s, while the German airline Lufthansa will do away with the first-class cabin completely in its new Boeing 777-9s, leaving business as the highest class on select flights. These changes reflect a shift in trends that place business as the new first class, and premium economy as the new business class.

Based on aircraft type, the wide-body aircraft segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment’s growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for wide-body aircraft from low-cost carriers in emerging economies.

This has increased the demand for wide-body aircraft, which is expected to drive the aircraft seat upholstery market.
