The aircraft carpets market is expected to grow from US$ 386.46 million in 2022 to US$ 652.38 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2022 to 2028.
Aircraft carpet is an aircraft floor covering made of textile material. Its upper layer consists of pile attached to the backing. The rising demand for aircraft carpets is attributed to its properties of noise and vibration resistance. Moreover, surging demand for lightweight aircraft carpets is projected to fuel the aircraft carpets market growth in the coming years.
MARKET DYNAMICS
In recent years, the modernization and expansion of airlines have increased aircraft demand. The global demand for domestic flights has increased compared to the demand for international flights. Therefore, the demand for narrow-body aircraft is rising. Moreover, commercial aircraft manufacturers are developing efficient and sophisticated subsystems and advanced technologies. These factors encourage the manufacturers to innovate distinct carpets for aircraft floors. For instance, Tarkett (Desso) has developed self-adhesive and lightweight carpet, with 40% reduced weight compared to the market standards. The self-adhesive carpet eliminates the need for tape and enables efficient installation. Tarkett developed self-adhesive carpet for Boeing 787 Dreamliner, thus making it approved supplier of Boeing aircraft. Therefore, increase in aircraft and ownership of private jet is anticipated to increase the demand for aircraft carpets in the coming years.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the overall aircraft carpets market. The pandemic hindered air passenger traffic in 2020, decreasing flight activities. The imposition of lockdown temporarily discontinued various manufacturing activities, restricting the supply, which restrained the aircraft carpets market. In addition, the transportation of raw materials experienced difficulties due to travel restrictions, which adversely impacted the global economy.
COVID-19 pandemic led to financial devastation throughout aviation value chain, especially airlines. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPKs) flown worldwide for airlines decreased by 94%, in 2019. International RPKs were down 98%, as the passenger flights reduced. The volumes of domestic and international traffic were expected to decrease by 50.4% for 2020, as compared to the values in 2019. ICAO also estimated that, by the end of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to reduced scheduled international passenger traffic by 71% of seat capacity and reduction of up to 1.5 billion passengers across the world. The reduced passenger and private flights reduced the demand for aircraft carpets.
In 2020, the three main government-owned airlines namely, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and Air China cancelled the delivery of more than 100 aircraft from Boeing and Airbus. Moreover, the passenger traffic in India has recovered at optimum rate due to the huge domestic demand and the rising tourism sector.
In 2021, the marketplace witnessed growth as governments of various countries announced relaxation in several restrictions, including lockdowns. The manufacturers resumed their operations at full capacity, which helped them in bridging the demand and supply gap. Many manufacturers expanded their production capacities to meet the rising demand for aircraft carpets.
