概述
全球机上餐饮服务市场将于 2023 年达到 163 亿美元,预计到 2031 年将达到 300 亿美元,2024-2031 年预测期间复合年增长率为 8.1%。
机上或飞机烹饪是由组织在航空旅行和机场航站楼提供的服务。餐饮已成为业务的基本组成部分,特别是对于提供长途服务的网路营运商。膳食结构和晚餐安排是提供餐饮服务的基本程序。
国际航空运输协会 (IATA) 表示,提供食物安排和烹饪任务对于机上管理至关重要。机上食品展示柜的发展大体上取决于航空业的完善和发展。
驱动程式和限制
人们越来越关注机上餐饮的可持续性
航空公司越来越多地在机上餐饮服务中采用永续发展理念。环境问题越来越受到现代乘客的关注。航空公司可以透过提供永续的餐饮选择来吸引具有环保意识的旅客并改善其品牌形象。
政府和航空当局正在实施严格的永续性和废弃物管理规则。餐饮企业正在执行这些规则。
例如,2023 年,汉莎航空选择了由农业废弃物製成的 PaperWise 机上包装。两家公司一致致力于实现永续发展目标、提高社会意识和减少二氧化碳排放。透过选择由环保原料製成的包装,可以节省大量环境费用并避免二氧化碳排放。
此外,2024 年 4 月,deSter 和伊士曼宣布合作,推出由 Tritan Renew 製成的可重复使用的机上饮料杯,为航空业带来创新。 Tritan Renew 是最有潜力应对这项严峻挑战的材料之一。因此,上述因素预计将推动市场成长。
海拔高度导致的机上餐品质问题
廉价航空公司提供免费机上餐点以及高海拔造成的食品品质不佳是全球市场成长的市场限制。人类的味蕾在高海拔地区无法正常运作。这种现像是导致航空食品味道不佳且平庸的原因。此外,机舱内的干燥和压力也会影响嗅觉。
而且,机上食品经过相当长的时间预煮,并装在塑胶容器中,这也影响了味道。由于这些因素,乘客不喜欢机上或机上食物。这一因素可能会影响未来几年市场的表现。
细分市场分析
全球机上餐饮服务市场依据飞机座位等级、航班服务类型、食物类型和地区进行细分。
经济舱细分市场预计将主导市场份额
经济舱预计将在市场份额中占据重要地位。世界各地的航空公司都在朝着经济舱座位密集化的方向发展。优选地,努力减轻飞机上的重量并增加可以在经济舱飞行的乘客数量。经济舱是最基本的舱位,大多数航空公司都为国际和国内航班提供。虽然它是旅行者最实惠的选择。
由于航班乘客数量的增加,航空公司有机会加强机上餐饮业务,更加重视永续性和减少废弃物产生。
例如,2021年,Newrest宣布签署协议收购德国Flight Delight Air Catering,并持有Kafer Service GmbH集团独立公司60%的股份,成为该公司的大股东。因此,乘客对经济舱的偏好日益增加,预计将扩大该细分市场的成长。
市场地域占有率
预计欧洲将在机上餐饮服务市场占有率中占据重要地位
由于消费者对健康和有机食品的偏好增加、航空公司与食品专业人士的合作以及主要运营商航线和机队的扩张等因素带来的增长机会,预计欧洲地区在预测期内将出现增长。预计这些因素在未来几年将继续增长。
欧洲提供了强大的机上餐饮业,拥有众多航空公司,其中包括大量提供全方位服务和低成本的航空公司。充满活力的业务是该地区重视永续发展和日益关注乘客体验的结果。由于欧洲航空公司经常满足广泛的口味和饮食要求,因此对专业餐饮服务的需求可能会增加。
永续菜单的扩展以及航空公司之间不断增强的战略关係以提供最佳服务预计将使该地区在预测期内保持重要地位。
例如,2022 年 5 月,deSter 宣布与阿提哈德航空合作,实现全新的完全循环经济舱餐饮概念。航空公司宣布将于今年第四季在阿提哈德飞机上推出新型可重复使用餐具以及新型经济舱软装饰。
此外,芬兰航空于 2021 年 9 月推出了机上食品菜单,为乘客提供更多选择、灵活性和永续的选择。新菜单旨在减少芬兰航空航班上的浪费和重量,符合其 2045 年实现碳中和的目标。
Overview
Global Inflight Catering Services Market reached US$ 16.3 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 30 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Inflight or aircraft cooking is an administration given by organizations amid air travel and at airplane terminals. Catering turns into a fundamental part of the business, particularly for network carriers serving long distances. Meal structure and supper arranging are essential procedures for providing food services.
As indicated by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), providing food arrangements and cooking tasks are crucial for inflight administrations. The development of inflight-providing food showcases is generally subject to the improvement and development of the aviation business sector.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rising focus on sustainability in inflight catering
Airlines are increasingly adopting sustainability in inflight catering services. Environmental issues are becoming more of a concern for modern passengers. Airlines can attract environmentally conscious travelers and improve their brand image by providing sustainable catering options.
Stringent rules for sustainability and waste management are being implemented by governments and aviation authorities. Catering companies are implementing these rules.
For instance, in 2023, Lufthansa chose PaperWise in-flight packaging made from agricultural waste. Both companies were united in their mission to achieve sustainability goals, raise social awareness, and reduce CO2 emissions. By choosing packaging made from environmentally friendly raw materials, a lot of environmental savings can be made and CO2 emissions avoided.
Additionally, in April 2024, deSter and Eastman announced a collaboration to bring innovation to the airline industry by introducing reusable in-flight drinkware made with Tritan Renew. Tritan Renew is one of the materials with the greatest potential to meet this demanding challenge. Thus, the above factors are expected to drive the market growth.
Altitude-induced quality issues in inflight meals
The provision of free in-flight meals by low-cost carriers and poor quality of food owing to high altitude are the market restraints for the market growth globally. Human taste buds do not work correctly at high altitudes. This phenomenon is responsible for the bad and mediocre taste of airline food. Further, dryness and pressure inside the airplane cabin affect the sense of smell.
Moreover, the in-flight food is pre-cooked for a considerable time and packed in a plastic container which also affects the taste. Passengers do not prefer in-flight or onboard food owing to these factors. This factor might hamper the performance of the market in the coming years.
Market Segment Analysis
The global inflight catering services market is segmented based on aircraft seating class, flight service type, food type, and region.
The economy class segment is expected to dominate the market share
The economy class is expected to hold a significant position in the market share. Airlines around the world are moving toward economy seating densification. Preferably, it is an effort to decrease weight on the plane and to increase the number of passengers that can fly in economy sections. Economy class is the most basic class and is offered by the majority of airlines for both international and domestic flights. While it is the most affordable option for travelers.
Due to the increase in passengers on flights, Airlines have an opportunity to enhance the in-flight catering business with an increasing focus on sustainability and reducing waste generation.
For instance, in 2021, Newrest announced the conclusion of an agreement to acquire Flight Delight Air Catering in Germany and became the majority shareholder of the independent company of the Kafer Service GmbH group by taking a 60% stake in the company. Thus, the increasing preference by the passengers for the economy class is expected to expand the segment growth.
Market Geographical Share
Europe is expected to hold a significant position in the inflight catering services market share
The Europe region is expected to grow during the forecast period owing to factors like growth opportunities due to increased consumer preference for healthy and organic meals, airline collaboration with food professionals, and the expansion of key operators' routes and fleets. The growth of these factors is expected to continue in the coming years.
Europe offers a robust in-flight catering sector with a wide variety of airlines, including a large number of full-service and low-cost carriers. A dynamic business is a result of the region's emphasis on sustainability and growing attention to the passenger experience. The demand for specialized catering services could rise since European airlines frequently cater to a broad range of tastes and dietary requirements.
The expansion of sustainable menus and the growing strategic relationships among the airlines to provide and offer the best services are expected to hold the region in a significant position during the forecast period.
For instance, in May 2022, deSter announced a partnership with Etihad Airways to realize a new Economy class dining concept that is fully circular. New reusable tableware announced that the airlines will launch on board Etihad aircraft in the fourth quarter of the year together with new Economy class soft furnishings.
Additionally, in September 2021, Finnair introduced its onboard food menus to provide customers with more choice, flexibility, and sustainable options. The new menus aim to reduce waste and weight onboard Finnair's flights, in line with its ambitions to become carbon neutral by 2045.
