COVID-19 Impact : Our team has been closely monitoring the current developments to identify the potential impact of COVID-19 on stakeholders and business processes across the value chain of industries. A special section about COVID-19 will be covered with the report to help companies in defining sustainable strategies.
The IFEC market is estimated to register substantial growth during the forecast period owing to increasing demand from various applications during the forecast period. Also, this market has witnessed many key developments by major companies operating in the market including new product development, partnerships, contracts, and so on.
The IFEC market is extremely affected by variables including advances in innovative wireless solutions on BYOD, increased accessibility of HD content, the increased need to improve the travel time experience for passengers. The technology includes audio & video entertainment, moving maps, in-flight films, and private television. Besides, audio & video entertainment technology provides clients with a wide spectrum of films, music libraries, and videos. In-flight entertainment connectivity facilities include data communication, Wi-Fi, satellite and in-flight telephony.
The segment of connectivity is expected to expand significantly over the forecast period. The segment is broken down further into both wireless and wired connectivity. The segment of wired connectivity is anticipated to dominate the market in the years to come. Wireless connectivity services are anticipated to see significant development in the coming years owing to the increasing implementation by airlines of wireless onboard communication and entertainment services to improve the general travel experience of passengers.
In the future, the IFC segment is expected to grow at a significant rate. This segment's growth is ascribed to increasing on-board demand for Wi-Fi use. IFC's offering is gradually becoming a major source of supplementary income for Full-Service Carriers (FSCs) globally. As with the latest developments, however, it is becoming progressively necessary for airline operators to provide their passengers onboard Wi-Fi on important global paths to maintain the increasing competition in the entertainment and connectivity industry.
