Driving Factors

Additionally, business jet owners prefer to customize their cabin seats, which is why aftermarket businesses are now offering a wide variety of designs and materials for cabin seat customization.

 

Restraining Factors

Specialized materials, such as lightweight foams or fire-resistant fabrics, are used in the upholstery of aircraft seats, and their production can be costly. Particularly for smaller airlines or those on tight budgets, the high production costs can restrict the affordability of upholstery materials and products.
