Cabin lighting has evolved from utility to experience—shaping mood, aiding safety, and reinforcing airline brands. Stratview Research sizes the aircraft interior lighting market at ~US$0.8 billion in 2023, with a 3.5% CAGR (2024–2034) to ~US$1.2 billion by 2034. The study segments demand by aircraft type, product, lighting type, end user, furnished equipment, and region.

Drivers

Passenger-experience upgrades. Airlines are leaning on customizable ambient schemes and color-tunable LEDs to differentiate cabins and ease jet lag—directly lifting demand.

Fleet growth & refresh. New deliveries and retrofit cycles (post-pandemic refreshes, cabin densification) expand the installed base for advanced lighting packages.

Reliability & cost-in-use. Long LED lifetimes and lower power draw reduce maintenance and energy load—an operational win for airlines and operators.

Trends

Aircraft type: narrow-bodies on top. With rate ramps and new long-range single-aisles (e.g., A321XLR) plus programs like C919/MC-21, narrow-body aircraft are projected to lead market demand across the period.

Product: LEDs dominate—and grow fastest. LEDs are both the largest and fastest-growing product segment, thanks to efficiency, brightness, and long MTBF.

Lighting type: ambience first, reading lights sprint. Ambient/seat/stowage lighting remains dominant; reading lights are the fastest-growing slice as airlines modernize PSU and personal-space lighting.

Channel: OE leads. The OE segment holds the largest share and grows quickest, riding higher production rates and spec-in of next-gen systems at build.

Region: North America in front. A dense OEM/Tier ecosystem (e.g., Collins, Astronics, Honeywell) keeps North America in the lead.

Conclusion

Through 2034, interior lighting growth is steady rather than cyclical, underpinned by passenger-experience programs, narrow-body rate ramps, and the LED migration. Vendors that pair electrical efficiency with software-tunable ambience—and that win line-fit positions—should outpace a market tracking to ~US$1.2B.
