Market Scenario
Over the past decade, the airline industry has been tremendously influenced by copious changes in technology. Airline technology now cannot only transport travelers from one destination to another but can also provide an entertaining travel experience, tailored to meet the requirements of passengers. In the recent years, there has been an increase in the use of personal devices for availing in-flight entertainment service, and according to IATA Global Passenger Survey, nearly half of the North Asian passengers prefer to use their own devices for viewing digital content rather than the embedded equipment. When comparing with the seat-back in-flight entertainment display systems, personal devices are considered more beneficial by both passengers and airlines.

It entails entertainment in the form of movies, e-books, videos, games, and others. With technological advancements in satellite as well as air-to-ground networks, onboard connectivity is gaining significance in aircraft, and nowadays, it has become a necessity rather than a luxury. Increase in the number of aircraft deliveries and growing passenger traffic are some of the macro factors driving the in-flight entertainment market.
