2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<br />

Different materials are used in the making of aircraft seats to make them lightweight, strong and<br />

also fire resistant. The aircraft seat can be segmented into 5 main components starting from the<br />

structural frame which is generally made of aluminium or in some cases carbon composites are<br />

also used. Foam cushions, fire resistant (FR) textiles, upholsteries and plastic moldings together<br />

complete the modern aircraft seat. Each airline uses different material combinations for their<br />

seats based on the cost, durability and weight. Most airlines used contract manufacturers to<br />

install and customize the seats into their fleet with designers, testing and certification bodies also<br />

involved in the ecosystem. This market has been witnessing tremendous growth due to<br />

increasing number of aircrafts being commissioned from Boeing and Airbus by Airlines across<br />

geographic regions.<br />

IndustryARC estimates the global aircraft seats market to increase from around 232,185 in <strong>2013</strong><br />

growing at a CAGR of around 7.3% during the forecast period. The highest growth is expected<br />

from the suite class segment of commercial aircrafts. Business class is also expected to increase<br />

at a CAGR of 8.8% as commercial airlines focus on business customer types to increase<br />

revenues along with getting high volumes in bookings from their LCC initiatives. Both strategies<br />

are needed to increase ASK for the airlines and for getting profits.<br />

The global commercial aircraft seating market revenues are expected to increase from $3.3bn in<br />

2012 to around $4.45bn in 2018.<br />

According to FAA regulations, seat covers for example cannot be used after 9 washings because<br />

they lose their fire retardant quality.<br />

The global aircraft seat material market is also highly regulated with various standards from<br />

bodies like FAA, CASA, SAE, EASA etc. Standards and tests are conducted to determine their<br />

flame retardant capabilities, density, gravity performance etc. Static load, dynamic load testing,<br />

windmill, abuse, reliability testing are performed on the seats.<br />

In the report, the market has been segmented by geography as North America, Europe, Asia,<br />

Middle East and Africa. <strong>Market</strong> size and forecast is provided for each of these regions. A<br />

detailed qualitative analysis of the factors responsible for driving and restraining growth of the<br />

aircraft seat material market and future opportunities are provided in the report.<br />

6. GLOBAL AIRCRAFT SEAT MATERIAL MARKET <strong>–</strong> BY TYPES<br />

<strong>Aircraft</strong> <strong>Seat</strong> <strong>Material</strong> can be classified into different types based on the use case like seat<br />

structure, upholsteries, FR textiles, cushion foams and plastic molding. The seat structure is<br />

primarily made up of aluminium and followed by carbon composite, fiber glass and Kevlar in<br />

varying combinations.<br />

Aluminium is the primary aircraft material and it comprises of about 80% of an aircraft's unladen<br />

weight. Around 43% of the mass of a seat compared to other materials as shown in the figure<br />

above. Its combination of lightness, strength and workability makes it the ideal material for<br />

mass-produced commercial aircraft. Overall it helps save weight and increase fuel efficiency<br />

directly and indirectly sometimes by saving need for painting due to its anti-corrosion property.<br />

High-strength alloys like 7075 are generally used to strengthen aluminium aircraft structures.<br />

Polyurethane, Neoprene, Silicone and Polythelene are the different materials used for foam<br />

cushions in the aircraft seats. Fire resistant polyester, nylon, cotton and leather are primarily used<br />

as upholsteries covering the foam cushions and also as seat covers. The upholstery is put over<br />

the fire-blocking textile layer. Polycarbonate, ABS and decorative vinyls for plastic molding to<br />

prepare decorative closeouts, trim strips, food trays, and arm rests etc.

13.3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY<br />

The quantitative and qualitative data collected for the aircraft material market report is from a<br />

combination of secondary and primary sources. Research interviews were conducted with senior<br />

executives and/or managers of leading aircraft material market providers. These Key Opinion<br />

Leaders (KOLs) were then provided a questionnaire to gather quantitative and qualitative inputs<br />

on their operations, performance, strategies and views on the overall market, including key<br />

developments and technology trends. Data from interviews is consolidated, checked for<br />

consistency and accuracy, and the final market numbers are again validated by experts. The<br />

global market was split by product types and geography based on different factors like primary<br />

and secondary sources, understanding of the number of companies operating in each segment<br />

and also KOL insights.<br />

We have used various secondary sources such as directories, articles, white papers, newsletters,<br />

annual reports and paid databases such as OneSource, Hoovers and Factiva to identify and<br />

collect information for extensive technical and commercial study of the aircraft material market.<br />

The following secondary sources were also used in the production of report and in triangulation<br />

of data points.<br />

• Internal database on airlines and reports on aerospace industry.<br />

• Whitepapers, newsletters from global associations, trade bodies like IATA, CAPA,<br />

GAMA.<br />

• Annual Reports and presentations from top aircraft OEMs and airlines from different<br />

geographic regions.<br />

• Paid interviews with executives (CXOs. Managers, VPs, AVPs, Business Development<br />

Personnel) from the airline industry.<br />

• Questionnaires and telephonic interviews of key contacts from different parts of the<br />

value chain.<br />

The key players in the market and its value chain were identified through secondary research and<br />

their market opinions were also gathered in a similar way through telephonic interviews and<br />

questionnaires. We have also studied the annual reports of these top market players. Interviews<br />

with key opinion leaders such as directors, managers, marketing personnel were used extensively<br />

in understanding the need and emergence of aircraft seat material market.

We also have extensive database of contacts which were used to conduct primary interviews and<br />

also to get their inputs using questionnaires. The following specific steps will be followed for the<br />

top-down approach as part of the triangulation efforts discussed above.<br />

1. The global airline industry is divided primarily into regional and international players.<br />

The data on the number and type of planes operated by each airline is then extracted.<br />

(More than 900 airlines in operation currently)<br />

2. The order status of new planes, number of planes to be retained and replaced is also<br />

collected.<br />

3. Based on the type of plane (RTA, NBA, WBA, VLA) and the airline customizations, the<br />

actual number of seats per class (Economy, Business, First, Suite) is determined. This is<br />

done for all the aircrafts owned by an airline.<br />

4. Based on data collected in second & third steps, the number of linefit and retrofit seats is<br />

determined.<br />

5. Our extensive database (more than 1,000 contacts) in the aerospace industry will be<br />

contacted by questionnaires and telephonic interviews to gather data and qualitative<br />

inputs on seat materials. These data points combined with the data in fourth step will be<br />

used to get the data on global airline seat materials market.
