概要

機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティの世界市場規模は2024年に55億7,000万米ドルとなりました。2033年には110億9,000万米ドルに達すると予測され、2025~2033年のCAGRは7.55%です。現在、北米が市場を独占しており、2024年の市場シェアは39.8%です。世界の航空旅行の急増、継続的な技術の進歩、研究開発(R&D)活動への高額の投資、長距離便の増加などが市場成長の原動力となっています。これに加えて、乗客の福利厚生への注目が高まっていることも、機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティ市場のシェアを押し上げています。

現在、この市場を牽引しているのは、旅行中のシームレスなデジタル体験に対する乗客の期待の高まりです。ビジネスとレジャーの両方の乗客の間で航空旅行が一般的になっているため、航空会社は顧客満足度を高め、競争力を維持するために、高度なエンターテインメント・システムや高速インターネットに投資しています。長距離フライトの増加により、ストリーミング・プラットフォーム、インタラクティブ・スクリーン、リアルタイム・コミュニケーション・オプションによる機内エンゲージメントのニーズが高まっています。衛星ブロードバンド、コンテンツ・パーソナライゼーション、ワイヤレス・メディア・ストリーミングなどの技術革新が、さらに採用を加速させています。航空会社はまた、コンテンツ・プロバイダーやハイテク企業と協力し、カスタマイズされた体験を提供しています。

米国は、機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティ市場の主要地域として浮上しているが、その要因は多いです。フライト中もオンラインサービスへの中断のないアクセスを求めるハイテクに精通した旅行者のデジタルへの期待が高まっており、機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティ市場の見通しが良好です。航空会社は、高速ワイヤレス・フィデリティ(Wi-Fi)、オンデマンド・ビデオ・ストリーミング、パーソナライズド・コンテンツ・プラットフォームへの投資を通じて、乗客の体験向上を優先しています。大手テクノロジー・プロバイダーや航空会社の存在は、継続的な技術革新と高度な機内システムの迅速な導入を促しています。さらに、好調なビジネス・トラベル・セグメントは、特にフライト中の生産性を高めるために、シームレスな接続性に対する一貫した需要を喚起しています。IMARC Groupによると、米国の出張市場規模は2024年に2,410億米ドルに達します。

機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティ市場動向:

航空交通量の増加

さまざまな地域の航空業界では、経済成長、中間所得層の増加、航空旅行へのアクセスの利便性向上などの要因によって、旅客数が一貫して増加しています。例えば、民間航空総局(DGCA)が発表したデータによると、2024年のインド国内航空旅客輸送量は6.12%増加し、合計1億6,130万人に達しました。国際航空旅客数の増加は、多様な機内体験の需要を喚起しており、航空会社はより充実した機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティの提供を通じて差別化を図っています。新規路線の開設や既存路線の増便に伴い、特に開発途上地域では、より多くの航空機に最新のデジタル・システムが搭載されるようになっています。特に長距離便や超長距離便では、乗客の快適性を向上させるために、先進的なエンターテインメントや高速インターネット・アクセスの恩恵を受けています。旅行者は、旅の間中、映画、音楽、ゲーム、メッセージへのシームレスなアクセスを期待しています。このような旅行に対する期待の文化的な変化は、飛行時間の大幅な増加と相まって、航空会社が機内接続インフラを継続的にアップグレードすることを可能にし、業界全体の持続的な需要を牽引しています。

投資の増加

ソフトウェアやブロードバンド技術を向上させるための研究開発活動への投資の増加が、機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティ市場の成長を後押ししています。例えば、2024年7月、機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティソリューションの著名なプレイヤーの一社であるPanasonic Avionics Corporationは、インドのプネに新しいソフトウェア設計開発施設を発表しました。このソフトウェアは、すべての機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティソリューションの中心となるものです。また、従来のコンテンツ更新の遅れをなくし、ダイナミックなリアルタイム更新を提供するクラウドベースのコンテンツ配信システムの開発にも費用が向けられています。企業は、人工知能(AI)を統合してレガシーシステムを近代化し、嗜好や過去の利用状況に基づいてユーザー体験をパーソナライズしています。また、燃料消費を削減する軽量でエネルギー効率の高いシステムを開発することで、持続可能性への取り組みも支援しています。機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティ企業は、フリート全体で中断のないサービスを保証するために、世界のサポートセンターやメンテナンスハブを拡大しています。

技術の進歩

衛星技術の進歩は、機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティ市場の主要動向のひとつです。高スループット衛星(HTS)やKaバンド技術などの革新は、より高速で信頼性の高い機内接続を可能にし、より優れたストリーミングサービス、ビデオ通話、インターネット閲覧を可能にします。例えば、2023年8月、パナソニックアビオニクス株式会社(Panasonic Avionics Corporation)は、航空会社とその顧客に、より高速な機内インターネットアクセスを提供する強化されたGEO Kuバンド衛星容量を開始し、機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティ市場の収益を押し上げました。新しいユーザーインターフェイスデザインと直感的な操作により、機内エンターテインメントおよびコネクティビティプラットフォームは、あらゆる年齢層にとってより身近で魅力的なものとなっています。Bluetooth対応システムにより、乗客は個人のヘッドホンを接続することができ、快適性が向上しています。音声認識と言語翻訳ツールは、乗客が自分の好きな言語でシステムと対話できるようにするために研究されています。クラウドゲームやライブイベントストリーミングをテストしている航空会社もあり、従来の機内コンテンツの限界を押し広げています。リアルタイムのシステム分析は、利用パターンをモニターし、パフォーマンスに関する洞察を提供するために採用されています。

Technological Advancements

Advancements in satellite technology are among the major in-flight entertainment and connectivity market trends. Innovations, such as high-throughput satellites (HTS) and Ka-band technology, enable faster and more reliable in-flight connectivity, allowing better streaming services, video calls, and internet browsing. For instance, in August 2023, Panasonic Avionics Corporation (Panasonic Avionics) launched an enhanced GEO Ku-band satellite capacity that provided faster in-flight internet access for airlines and their customers, thereby boosting the in-flight entertainment and connectivity market revenue. New user interface designs and intuitive controls are making in-flight entertainment and connectivity platforms more accessible and engaging for all age groups. Bluetooth-enabled systems allow passengers to connect personal headphones, enhancing comfort. Voice-recognition and language translation tools are being explored to help passengers interact with systems in their preferred language. Some airlines are testing cloud gaming and live event streaming, pushing the boundaries of traditional in-flight content. Real-time system analytics are being employed to monitor usage patterns and deliver performance insights, which airlines can utilize to refine content offerings.

In-flight Entertainment and Connectivity Industry Segmentation:

Analysis by Aircraft Type:

  • Narrow-Body Aircraft
  • Wide-Body Aircraft
  • Business Jets
  • Others

Narrow-body aircraft held 53.8% of the market share in 2024. It typically has a fuselage diameter of 3 to 4 meters (10 to 13 feet) and is equipped with a single aisle running through the cabin. It usually accommodates between 100 to 240 passengers, depending on the aircraft's configuration. Narrow-body aircraft is being equipped with in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems, particularly wireless solutions that allow passengers to stream content on personal devices. It often operates multiple flights per day, increasing the opportunities for passengers to access and benefit from in-flight entertainment and connectivity services. The cabin layout of narrow-body aircraft allows efficient integration of seatback screens, wireless streaming systems, and connectivity hardware without compromising space or comfort. Furthermore, their consistent flight schedules and high passenger turnover are driving steady demand for entertainment and connectivity features, enhancing overall travel experiences. The combination of operational prevalence, practical cabin configuration, and ability to deliver in-flight entertainment and connectivity solutions effectively across varied routes establishes narrow-body aircraft as the leading segment in the market.

Analysis by Component Type:

  • Content
  • Hardware
  • Connectivity

Hardware accounts for 59.0% of the market share. Hardware components, such as seatback screens, control units, antennas, modems, servers, and wireless access points, are essential for delivering and managing content as well as ensuring stable connectivity throughout a flight. These physical devices form the core infrastructure that supports streaming services, real-time communication, gaming, and passenger engagement tools. Airlines are investing significantly in durable and efficient hardware to improve user experience and differentiate their services, especially in premium cabins.

  • Satellite Technology

Satellite technology holds 68.0% of the market share. It provides wide-area, high-speed internet coverage, especially over oceans and remote regions where traditional ground-based systems fall short. Airlines rely on satellite networks, such as Ku-band, Ka-band, and high-throughput satellites, to deliver seamless and uninterrupted connectivity across long-haul and international routes. This technology supports bandwidth-intensive applications like video streaming, video conferencing, and real-time messaging, which are increasingly demanded by passengers. Moreover, advancements in satellite systems enable better data speeds, lower latency, and improved coverage, enhancing the overall in-flight digital experience. Unlike air-to-ground systems that are limited to specific regions, satellite communication ensures global connectivity, making it indispensable for international airlines. Leading service providers continuously upgrade their satellite infrastructure to accommodate the growing data traffic and rising customer expectations. Additionally, satellite-based systems support more flexible installation across various aircraft types and fleet sizes, which benefits both new and retrofitted aircraft. As per the in-flight entertainment and connectivity market forecast, with airlines competing to differentiate themselves by offering superior digital services onboard, satellite technology will continue to hold dominance in the industry.

Analysis by End User:

  • OEM
  • Aftermarket

Aftermarket exhibits a clear dominance in the market because of the growing need among airlines to upgrade and modernize their existing fleets with advanced digital systems. Many carriers operate older aircraft that were not initially equipped with modern in-flight entertainment and connectivity technologies. To meet rising passenger expectations for onboard internet access, streaming services, and personalized content, airlines are investing in retrofitting their fleets. This trend is especially prominent among low-cost and regional carriers seeking to remain competitive without investing in new aircraft. Additionally, the aftermarket segment offers flexibility in choosing tailored solutions from third-party providers, enabling airlines to select cost-effective and scalable systems that match their service goals. The increasing demand for quick installation and integration is also supporting the growth of aftermarket services. Furthermore, as technological advancements continue, relatively newer aircraft may require upgrades to remain compatible with the latest connectivity standards, reinforcing the dominance of the aftermarket segment in the industry.
