In-Flight Catering Services Market Poised for 9.1 % Growth, Set to Hit $1002.8 Billion by 2029

How Are the key drivers contributing to the expansion of the in-flight catering services market?
The expansion of the in-flight catering services market is projected to accelerate due to the rises in air traffic. In the past few years, there has been a dramatic increase in the population that uses air travel. This suggests that a significant number of individuals now have the means to fly. The shifting lifestyle and the growth of disposable income have spurred the demand for air travel for both leisure and business trips. In-flight catering has become a crucial service for passengers, particularly those flying with network carriers over long distances. For instance, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a US-based global airline industry trade association, reported in January 2024 that air travel's total traffic in 2023 was 36.9% higher than in 2022. Additionally, in December 2023, international traffic saw a rise of 24.2% compared to December 2022, and domestic traffic increased by 27.0% from the previous year. Therefore, the surge in air traffic is propelling the in-flight catering services market's growth.
