Global In-flight Entertainment Market 2016-2020 - Issues with System Safety & Regulation

DUBLIN, March 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d6d4wr/global_inflight) has announced the addition of the "Global In-flight Entertainment Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report forecasts the global IFE market to grow at a CAGR of 13% during the period 2016-2020.

Connectivity within the flight has become an important catalyst in airline's day-to-day operations. In-flight connectivity also allows the operator to enhance customer loyalty and satisfaction. Therefore, airlines across the world are widely adopting air-to-ground (ATG) and satellite networks to avail this facility. However, ATG services are only available in the US with very limited network capacity, thus forcing providers to realize the potential of passenger connectivity.

According to the report, the increase in air passenger traffic and improved technologies has attracted many business opportunities into the IFE market to deliver latest avionics systems. Rockwell Collins developed Paves on-demand IFE systems, which is being used by Airbus. The system is expected to be installed on 85 new A320 aircraft that will have enhanced capabilities such as video content streaming through a wireless system and an open-software architecture to support numerous applications and services.

Further, the report states that development and integration of IFE systems have raised many safety challenges. Voltage leaks and arcing are among the major obstacles owing to miles of in-flight wiring involved. They also conduct rigorous testing for all IFEs followed by detailed documentation. In addition, it is imperative that a particular system is tested with the correct approach and for the appropriate parameters. Although successful tests and trials indicate good productivity and safety, the whole process poses a significant challenge to the market.
