What is Aircraft Showers Market?
Aircraft showers are located on the upper deck in front of the first-class cabin which also includes a toilet, sinks, and enough space for changing clothes inside the module. In the commercial aviation sector, the vendors have already been facing a lot of challenges such as disruption in production due to slowdown in aircraft demand, workers went their homes due to COVID-19, steep drop in passenger traffic, and delay in aircraft deliveries due to disrupted supply chain across the world. The global aircraft showers market is expected to grow at a sluggish pace during the forecast period, according to the AMA study. Moreover, the increasing demand for luxury air travel and the increasing production of luxury general aviation aircraft models are expected to be some of the major factors aiding the growth of the market. However, the market is expected to witness a decline in growth during FY 2020 but it is again expected to rise at a moderate pace after the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is overcome by the industry.
The market study is being classified by Type (Round Showers, Square Showers, Contour Showers, D-Shape Showers and Wing Showers), by Application (Civil Aircraft and Military Aircraft) and major geographies with country level break-up.
Adams Rite Aerospace Inc. (United States), F. LIST GMBH (Germany), Gal Aerospace (Canada) and JBRND (United States) are some of the key players profiled in the study.
The vendors in this market are majorly focusing on developing innovative products and solutions in order to cater to the market's demands to remain competitive in the market. The recent industry crisis due to the outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to be one of the major challenges for the vendors of this market as the production and markets of different industries have been shut down for an ambiguous period of time. Research Analyst at AMA predicts that United States Manufacturers will contribute to the maximum growth of Global Aircraft Showers market throughout the predicted period.

Analyst Comment
After a healthy global aircraft demand in 2018, the demand for commercial aircraft declined in the 2019 which was expected to regain its growth in the FY 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic scenario. After the COVID-19 pandemic across the world, the demand for commercial aircraft has been significantly affected as the air passenger traffic is reduced heavily around the world. At the same time, the demand for military aircraft has remained unaffected by the pandemic. Therefore, the commercial aerospace sector is expected to recover slowly, as the demand for air travel is going to recover back to the 2019 level by 2024 which is expected to hamper the growth of aircraft showers market for the commercial aviation sector. Additionally, a very few of the airlines such as Emirates and Etihad Airlines offers such amenities including aircraft shower facilities which has now become one of the past things in the airlines industry. Most of the aircraft shower companies have been shut down and a very limited number of players are still operating in the market due to lack of demand for the product which is also expected to downfall in the coming years. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has forced the airlines to make most of the changes in their inflight services wherein some changes can be temporary and some changes such as cutting down the onboard showers can be long lasting for the airlines and passengers in order to maintain the flight as safe as possible for the travelling passengers.
