APAC & Middle East Inflight Catering Market Analysis
The Asia-Pacific And Middle-East Inflight Catering Market size is estimated at USD 7.48 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 12.08 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.05% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Growing air traffic in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East has increased emphasis on additional amenities like onboard dining. Owing to this, regional airlines are increasing investments in inflight catering. Introducing new menus and new dining concepts, such as an onboard chef in first—and business-class airlines, to improve the passenger experience is anticipated to accelerate the market's growth.
An increase in the cost of inflight food posed challenges for the in-flight catering service market to work properly. Hence, the high cost associated with the supply chain and food service is also hindering effective growth to a great extent in the forecast period. Transportation of food and low periods of transported foods are increasing food wastage in this industry. Some food wastage elements will create challenges in developing the in-flight catering market. It is essential to tackle these market challenges effectively to increase the growth of the particular market.
