Wireless In-Flight Entertainment Market Dynamics:
Some of the primary factors estimated to drive the global wireless in-flight entertainment market include a growth in the number of passengers who travel with one or more connected devices, as well as an enriched passenger experience. Over 70% of passengers on board use their own gadgets to entertain themselves, such as playing games, reading or watching movies, or listening to music. This trend is estimate to continue as millennials choose to watch series and movies on computers, cellphones, and tablets rather than watching TV.

Along into the exponential growth in the number of airline passengers, inflight entertainment technological developments are a solid driver of wireless in-flight entertainment. Other factors, such as lower flying prices and an increase in tourist and business visits, are estimated to propel the demand over the forecast period. The legislative and security context is critical to the industry, as it determines whether or not operators and airlines are allowed to provide these services. Many countries, including India, have made it illegal to use PEDs in transmitting mode at any time during the flight.

Moreover, the increased usage of electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops has spawned a new trend of in-flight networking. Passengers can use their portable devices to connect in-flight and other entertainment content via Wi-Fi connections provided by airlines. This is a step in the right direction for airlines and their customers. The use of lockdowns and stringent COVID-19 prevention tactics has decreased the need to refit older aircraft with modern in-flight entertainment and connection (IFEC) systems, owing to a slower-than-expected rebound in passenger volume.

However, the high cost of communication networks and connectivity gear is a major stumbling block for the wireless in-flight entertainment business, and a rise in data privacy and security concerns is expected to hinder the adoption of wireless communication and connection services.
