※ 本網頁內容可能與最新版本有所差異。詳細情況請與我們聯繫。
概述
全球機上餐飲服務市場將於 2023 年達到 163 億美元,預計到 2031 年將達到 300 億美元,2024-2031 年預測期間複合年成長率為 8.1%。
機上或飛機烹飪是由組織在航空旅行和機場航站樓提供的服務。餐飲已成為業務的基本組成部分,特別是對於提供長途服務的網路營運商。膳食結構和晚餐安排是提供餐飲服務的基本程序。
國際航空運輸協會 (IATA) 表示,提供食物安排和烹飪任務對於機上管理至關重要。機上食品展示櫃的發展大體上取決於航空業的完善和發展。
驅動程式和限制
人們越來越關注機上餐飲的永續性
航空公司擴大在機上餐飲服務中採用永續發展理念。環境問題越來越受到現代乘客的關注。航空公司可以透過提供永續的餐飲選擇來吸引具有環保意識的旅客並改善其品牌形象。
政府和航空當局正在實施嚴格的永續性和廢棄物管理規則。餐飲企業正在執行這些規則。
例如,2023 年,漢莎航空選擇了由農業廢棄物製成的 PaperWise 機上包裝。兩家公司一致致力於實現永續發展目標、提高社會意識和減少二氧化碳排放。透過選擇由環保原料製成的包裝,可以節省大量環境費用並避免二氧化碳排放。
此外,2024 年 4 月,deSter 和伊士曼宣布合作,推出由 Tritan Renew 製成的可重複使用的機上飲料杯,為航空業帶來創新。 Tritan Renew 是最有潛力應對這項嚴峻挑戰的材料之一。因此,上述因素預計將推動市場成長。
海拔高度導致的機上餐品質問題
廉價航空公司提供免費機上餐點以及高海拔造成的食品品質不佳是全球市場成長的市場限制。人類的味蕾在高海拔地區無法正常運作。這種現像是導致航空食品味道不佳且平庸的原因。此外,機艙內的乾燥和壓力也會影響嗅覺。
而且,機上食品經過相當長的時間預煮,並裝在塑膠容器中,這也影響了味道。由於這些因素,乘客不喜歡機上或機上食物。這一因素可能會影響未來幾年市場的表現。
細分市場分析
全球機上餐飲服務市場依據飛機座位等級、航班服務類型、食物類型和地區進行細分。
經濟艙細分市場預計將主導市場佔有率
經濟艙預計將在市場佔有率中佔據重要地位。世界各地的航空公司都在朝著經濟艙座位密集化的方向發展。優選地,努力減輕飛機上的重量並增加可以在經濟艙飛行的乘客數量。經濟艙是最基本的艙位,大多數航空公司都為國際和國內航班提供。雖然它是旅行者最實惠的選擇。
由於航班乘客數量的增加,航空公司有機會加強機上餐飲業務,更加重視永續性和減少廢棄物產生。
例如,2021年,Newrest宣布簽署協議收購德國Flight Delight Air Catering,並持有Kafer Service GmbH集團獨立公司60%的股份,成為該公司的大股東。因此,乘客對經濟艙的偏好日益增加,預計將擴大該細分市場的成長。
市場地域佔有率
預計歐洲將在機上餐飲服務市場佔有率中佔據重要地位
由於消費者對健康和有機食品的偏好增加、航空公司與食品專業人士的合作以及主要營運商航線和機隊的擴張等因素帶來的成長機會,預計歐洲地區在預測期內將出現成長。預計這些因素在未來幾年將繼續成長。
歐洲提供了強大的機上餐飲業,擁有眾多航空公司,其中包括大量提供全方位服務和低成本的航空公司。充滿活力的業務是該地區重視永續發展和日益關注乘客體驗的結果。由於歐洲航空公司經常滿足廣泛的口味和飲食要求,因此對專業餐飲服務的需求可能會增加。
永續菜單的擴展以及航空公司之間不斷增強的戰略關係以提供最佳服務預計將使該地區在預測期內保持重要地位。
例如,2022 年 5 月,deSter 宣布與阿提哈德航空合作,實現全新的完全循環經濟艙餐飲概念。航空公司宣布將於今年第四季在阿提哈德飛機上推出新型可重複使用餐具以及新型經濟艙軟裝飾。
此外,芬蘭航空於 2021 年 9 月推出了機上食品菜單,為乘客提供更多選擇、靈活性和永續的選擇。新菜單旨在減少芬蘭航空航班上的浪費和重量,符合其 2045 年實現碳中和的目標。
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.
