Commercial Aircraft Upholstery Market Analysis

The Commercial Aircraft Upholstery Market size is estimated at USD 1.79 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 2.23 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.52% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Cabin retrofitting activities are driven by consumer demand for a micro-cabin environment, cabin air quality, medical care, and self-cleaning and antibacterial materials. Airlines are focused on maintaining a brand image and capturing the lucrative business travel segment. Moreover, increased profits have allowed airlines to spend discretionarily on features such as comfortable seats and custom thematic experiences. Airlines consider the passengers' perspectives to determine methods by which they can offer the best possible in-flight experience.

However, the market may be deterred by the stringent guidelines that must be strictly adhered to while designing the cabin and other associated components of an aircraft. Europe and the United States adhere to the FAR/CS 25.853 regulation, which states that the fire must not spread more than 43.2 centimeters from the source. This necessitates using flame-retardant fabrics in cabin layout, including seat covers, carpets, curtains, and wall coverings. Furthermore, the aircraft seat upholstery fabric must be wear-resistant, stain-resistant, non-toxic, and lightweight to ensure minimal impact on the aircraft's performance and maximum onboard safety. Such prerequisites enhance the design challenges associated with fabricating a seat cover.

Commercial Aircraft Upholstery Industry Overview

The commercial aircraft upholstery market is semi-consolidated with the presence of prominent players such as Aircraft Cabin Modification GmbH, Belgrave B.V., Botany Weaving, Lantal Textiles AG, INDUSTRIAL NEOTEX SA, and others. 

Vendors are modifying their offerings and investing in the development of modern fabrics to enhance the level of safety of their offerings. The trend of backward integration also helps the vendors introduce low-differentiated products at competitive pricing. Furthermore, long-term partnerships are favored in the aviation industry to supply cabin components, such as seat upholstery. Hence, a breach of specified quality in the fabric of the seat cover may lead to the termination of a significant contract, potentially exerting a severe financial strain on the business of a market player.
