Major factors driving the growth of the market
Airlines are positioning In-Flight Entertainment & connectivity solutions as a differentiator in
response to rising customer demand for additional fun activities and increased competition.
As a result, airlines are bringing new innovations on board, such as 3D IFE, wireless IFE,
gesture control, and so on. Moreover, progressive technological advancements in consumer
electronics have aided the development of sophisticated onboard entertainment systems. To
improve customer experience during flight, most airlines are choosing the upgrade their in-
flight entertainment systems.
Moreover, strategic collaboration among tech providers and aviation service providers,
upcoming advances, and launches in this IFEC industry is also anticipated to trigger market
demand in the coming years. For, instance, in 2021, Panasonic Avionics, an in-flight
entertainment and communication system, had signed an agreement with Singapore Airlines
to provide a unified IFEC experience across the airline’s widebody and narrowbody
fleets. Singapore Airlines has chosen Panasonic Avionics’ eX1 IFE solution for its new
Boeing 737-8 fleet of 37 planes. In both Business and Economy Class, the system includes
full-HD seatback monitors with capacitive touch screen displays and USB charging outlets.
IFE comes with an extra handset and in-seat power outlets in each Business Class seat.
Gogo and APT Mobile Satcom Limited signed an agreement to provide Chinese airlines with
inflight connection (IFC) using Gogo’s satellite connectivity solution, 2Ku. In addition, Gogo is
in-process of building a 5G cellular network AVANCE L51 specifically for the aviation
process. They intend to launch this new air-to-ground connectivity solution in 2021.
By January 2022, Genius Brands International, Inc. is planning to partner with Spafax Inflight
Entertainment, to broadcast Kartoon Channel content in JetBlue, as part of its inflight
entertainment experience.
Manufacturers of IFEC systems invest in the development of innovative associated systems
that may be integrated into current aircraft to complement or enhance their features, such as
safety and aesthetics. As a result, the inflight entertainment and connectivity market is likely
to grow at a steady pace over the forecast period.
Trends influencing the growth of the market
Nowadays, connectivity technology has become ubiquitous as it is our need to stay

Wireless IFE is a content distribution technology that sends wireless material to passengers’
devices. When compared to traditional in-flight entertainment options, wireless in-flight
entertainment solutions are much lighter. For in-flight entertainment, most passengers prefer
to use their own gadgets. Furthermore, wireless in-flight entertainment systems provide
passengers with convenient internet access, video streaming, and other features on their
devices. Airlines are also getting on the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) bandwagon,
converting passengers’ PEDs into a comprehensive entertainment solution to replace their
previous In-Flight Entertainment systems. For instance,
Sunclass Airlines’ A321 aircraft will be equipped with Inflight Dublin’s Everhub wireless in-
flight entertainment system. Sunclass Airlines’ A330 fleet also receives in-flight entertainment
(IFE) programming which includes TV shows, Hollywood movies, boxsets, and music.
Market Dynamics
Several airlines have deployed routers in order to provide free Wi-Fi to their passengers.
Passengers can connect to live Internet through their in-flight entertainment devices or
laptops via in-flight Wi-Fi connectivity on numerous planes with the help of data connection
via satellite technology. Passengers can enjoy their ride by accessing movies, music, games,
and other entertainment media from their own devices over Wi-Fi.
Commercial airlines are experimenting with virtual reality and developing wireless network-
centric IFEC strategies that will allow them to expand and evolve applications that are
currently deployed on seatback screens, head-worn displays, and mobile devices.
Developments
In December 2021, American Airlines’s new Airbus A321XLR and Boeing 787-9 fleets will be
equipped with the latest AVANT solution of Thales Group. This airline will be the first to travel
using Thales’ new Optiq displays, which are the industry’s first 4K high dynamic range
seatback panels with Samsung QLED proprietary technology.
Additionally, it is noted that Emirates, a Dubai-based airline had allowed passengers to
make, receive calls, and send SMS messages up in the air for long. In 2018, Emirates
allowed flyers from India to make calls from their own mobile phones.
