Commercial Aircraft Cabin Trash Compactors Market Dynamic

Driver- Growing demand for new commercial aircraft

Integration of various national economies as a result of globalization, the growing frequency of air travel as a result of the growing middle-class population across the world owing to consistent economic development, and rapidly improving civil aviation infrastructure are driving the demand for commercial jets. As a result, global civil aviation traffic has increased along with a high average occupancy rate per aircraft, which, in turn, has increased the need for new commercial aircraft.

Moreover, civil passenger traffic is expected to double in the next 15 years across the globe, and APAC is expected to account for the majority of the incremental growth. Thus, the growing demand for new commercial aircraft is expected to drive the growth of global commercial aircraft cabin trash compactors market during the forecast period.

Trends- Leading aircraft equipment manufacturers engaging in merger and acquisition

Aircraft component manufacturers are acquiring peer companies to grow significantly. This is expected to increase the concentration ratio of the market and increase the bargaining power of manufacturers. For instance, in April 2020, Raytheon Technologies Corporation and United Technologies Corporation announced that their all-stock merger of equals deal had been completed successfully.

Furthermore, several other M&As are expected to take place in the next five years. In December 2021, for example, Safran SA entered into exclusive discussions to acquire Orolia, a global leader in resilient positioning, navigation, and timing. Such developments are likely to propel the growth of the global commercial aircraft cabin trash compactors market during the forecast period.

Challenge- Stringent regulations preventing sorting of cabin waste

Various countries have differing national catering waste guidelines. These guidelines, formed to control the handling of catering waste, restrict the recycling of catering waste from international flights. As per these regulations, the disposal of food and beverages from foreign countries is associated with the risk of spreading infection and contamination and may negatively impact the agriculture and livestock industry. Thus, these regulations compel airlines to incinerate their cabin waste.

For example, countries such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, which have a very advanced agricultural sector, witness strict controls on the disposal, reuse, and recycling of cabin waste. Several governments across the world have adopted the International Catering Waste (ICW) legislation, which restricts several airlines from cabin waste recycling, thereby limiting the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Commercial Aircraft Cabin Trash Compactors Market Segmentation by Type, Application, Geography

Type Segment Analysis:

The bio-degradable waste segment will account for a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period.? Bio-degradable waste in the market includes of catering waste like inflight meals, snacks, and beverages served to passengers and can consist of leftover food, drinks, newspapers, paper towels, and food dropped on the floor, among others. The bio-degradable waste segment is expected to grow due to an increase in air passenger traffic globally, a rising trend of airline meal ordering, and growing expectations among air passengers. Factors such as people's growing disposable income and their increasing preference for air travel have significantly increased the total passenger density at airports.

The bio-degradable waste segment was valued at USD 73.15 million in 2018. Moreover, in many developing countries, air transport has become a major mode of transport, which has led to rapid growth in global air travel. As the total air passenger density continues to increase, bio-degradable waste is expected to grow. furthermore, cabin waste audits undertaken by IATA and the number of airlines indicate that 20-25% of cabin waste is untouched food and beverages, meaning the sector is incinerating or landfilling USD2-3 billion worth of resources. Thus, such factors are expected to drive the market's growth through the bio-degradable waste segment during the forecast period.

Application Segment Analysis

Based on application, the market has been segmented into narrow body aircraft, wide body aircraft, and regional aircraft. The narrow body aircraft?segment will account for the largest share of this segment.? A single-aisle aircraft that can seat more than 100 passengers in two axial groups is termed a narrow-body aircraft. Most narrow-body commercial aircraft serve short to medium-haul routes. On these routes, most airlines are focused on minimizing the amount of cabin waste generated by reducing the quantity and variety of food and beverages served on board. This also helps airlines reduce their operational expenditure and increase profitability. Thus, such factors are expected to drive the demand for cabin trash compactors for narrow-body aircraft during the forecast period.
