Changing Relationships between Inflight Entertainment Vendors and End-Users Likely to Impact Market
Economic slowdown and the events of September 11, 2001 have resulted in a downturn in the aviation industry and negatively impacted the global markets for inflight entertainment equipment and services, particularly for commercial aircraft. Recent trends indicating the likelihood of a paradigm shift in the relationship between airlines and inflight entertainment vendors might well change the shape of the market. For instance, in an attempt to gain greater control over its product offering, JetBlue Airways' acquisition of LiveTV might well prevent the latter from marketing its products to other airlines, leaving the field open for its competitors.
This Frost & Sullivan research analyzes the global market for inflight entertainment and passenger communications, divided into two main segments:commercial aviation and general aviation. It provides detailed insights into recent developments, trends, and emerging applications. This study also provides market forecasts and competitive and opportunity analysis.
Achieving Economies of Scale for Inflight Telecommunications Services Essential for Long-term Success
The inflight data communications segment, which showed great promise initially, has received a setback following the failure to generate revenues in the inflight voice communications segment. Passengers' reluctance to make inflight calls at high rates is compounded by companies' inability to lower these rates in response to anticipated increase in usage.
Nevertheless, an extended range of business jets transporting an increasing number of corporate executives give rise to the need for real-time information in television or data format. "Today, companies vying for a share of the inflight Internet and e-mail services market niche must establish a business plan that will generate mass usage and steady revenue by achieving economies of scale, and realize long-term success," says the analyst.
Source Equipment Suppliers Face Increasing Competition from Satellite- delivered Content
The current success of satellite-delivered DIRECTV content by LiveTV on JetBlue Airways, and soon on Frontier Airlines, indicates a strong future for this mode of delivery. LiveTV's plans to introduce 100 channels of XM satellite radio further strengthens its position but threatens that of source equipment suppliers, who may soon find their products becoming obsolete.
Although satellite-delivered content may require a more sophisticated antenna, the system required for this type of content is likely to weigh less, and the logistics required to acquire and distribute content to the aircraft is largely eliminated. Says the analyst," While such systems are most common on business jets today, significant revenue generation for this market subsegment will come from commercial passenger aircraft."
