Global In-Flight Entertainment System Market size was valued at USD 5.5 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 5.96 billion in 2023 to USD 12.29 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.4% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

The onboard internet service supplied by airlines to business and commercial aircraft passengers is known as in-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC). This service can be accessed via personal electronic devices (PEDs) such as cellphones and laptops for internet surfing, gaming, and streaming movies and serials. There are no visible cables in IFEC systems. The cable runs from the top panel, near the oxygen masks and air conditioning controls, to the aircraft walls. These wires are then connected to the power units, which are positioned in a few rows along the sides of the aircraft.

The need for advanced in-flight connectivity and entertainment streaming services is being fueled by advancements in connectivity technology in developed nations, supporting regulations for using personal electronic devices on board, and an increase in the number of airline passengers. However, the high costs of networking technologies and connection hardware, as well as an increase in data privacy and security concerns, are expected to hinder the use of wireless communication and connectivity services.

US In-Flight Entertainment System Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
