The Aircraft Lighting market is estimated to grow from USD 1.98 billion in 2024 to USD 2.68 billion by 2029 at CAGR of 6.2%. The market drivers include the Increasing demand for enhanced passenger comfort and cabin customization, the Growing adoption of smart and IoT-connected lighting, Increasing aircraft production and deliveries, and Stringent Aviation Safety Regulations. The growing demand for passenger comfort and cabin customization is a significant factor driving the adoption of Aircraft Lighting systems.

“The Aftermarket will account for the largest market share in the Aircraft Lighting market during the forecast period.”
Based on end-users, the aftermarket segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share in the aircraft lighting market during the forecast period as a result of the ongoing demand for maintenance, repair, and replacement of the lighting system of current aircraft fleets. Growing fleet size and increasing lifetimes of the aircraft sustain the preeminence of the aftermarket segment as owners invest in recurrent overhauls and system updates to enhance aircraft performance and compliance with regulations. Also, the expansion of MRO centers, particularly in regions like North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, is fueling demand for advanced lighting solutions; thus the aftermarket segment being the largest contributor to the aircraft lighting market.

“The commercial aircraft segment will account for the largest market share in the Aircraft Lighting market during the forecast period.”
Based on aircraft type, the commercial aircraft segment is expected to register the largest market share in the aircraft lighting market based on the growth of air travel worldwide and technologically advanced aircraft requirements. As passenger traffic increases, the airlines are making significant investments in new aircraft and fleet renewal, propelling the need for cutting-edge lighting solutions for improved safety, visibility, and comfort of passengers. Airlines are also focusing on the comfort of travelers in-flight with LED mood lighting, smart cabin lighting, and OLED technology for ambiance enhancement and minimizing jet lag effects. Regulatory requirements laid down by aviation regulatory authorities like the FAA, EASA, and ICAO for quality navigation, emergency evacuation, and visibility lighting systems on commercial aircraft, further builds the market dominance of the commercial aircraft segment. With the rapid growth of low-cost carriers (LCCs), long-range flights, and expanding airport facilities, the demand for energy-efficient, high-duration, and tailor-made aircraft lighting applications will continue to increase, making commercial aircraft segment the largest contributor to the aircraft lighting market.

“The North American market is estimated to lead the market.”
North America will be at the forefront of the aircraft lighting industry in terms of the highest market share for the forecast period due to the concentration of top aircraft producers, airlines, and defense companies. North America is one of the biggest commercial aviation markets, with strong demand for new aircraft and fleet renewal. U.S. and Canadian airlines are increasingly using LED-based cabin lighting, mood lighting, and intelligent lighting systems to boost passenger experience and enhance operational efficiency. Private aviation and business jet demand especially in the U.S., are also fueling the use of high-end interior illumination solutions, including OLED technology and customizable mood illumination. Also, the presence of well-established Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facilities in the region critical to the constant upgrading and replacement of aircraft lighting systems are contributing to the market growth in the region.
