High demand for healthy and quality food among air travelers is fostering growth of Inflight catering market
Inflight catering is a service offered to customers onboard an airplane that consists of a variety of items such as snacks, beverages, and prepared meals. These services are usually provided by a specialty airline catering service. This type of service can be offered for specific flights, particular seasons, and by a company that offers a service specifically for international travelers. This type of service has been steadily gaining popularity with both individuals who travel regularly and those who travel in the travel industry. Those who travel frequently will often select this option over other options when traveling. These types of services often include the ability to customize a meal for you or your traveling party.
Growing consumer preferences for quality food among air travelers is a prime factor driving market growth of In-flight catering services. Increasing demand for healthy food products due to nutritional awareness among consumers is again fueling the market growth of In-flight catering services. The growing travel and tourism industry is fueling the industrial expansion of In-flight catering services. Moreover, the increasing number of air travelers coupled with the growing focus of producers to launch a variety of meals for air travelers is further propelling the market growth of the In-flight catering services. For instance, in May 2020, En Route International has launched a range of ‘light-touch’ snacking and meal boes for airlines, designed to enable them to offer inflight catering to passengers as the aviation industry transitions back to normal schedules post Covid-19.
North America is expected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the strong presence of the aerospace industry in the region. According to the International Trade Administration, in 2018, the industry contributed $151 billion in export sales to the U.S. economy. At the end of 2018, foreign direct investment (FDI) into the U.S. aerospace industry totaled nearly $22 billion.
