In-Flight Voice Recognition Market Research Report: Information by Technology (Voice Recognition and Speech Recognition), Application (Commercial Aviation and Military Aviation), Aircraft Type (Narrow-Body Aircraft, Wide-Body Aircraft, Very Large Aircraft and Regional Transport Aircraft) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Latin America) - Forecast till 2030

In-Flight Voice Recognition Market Scenario

The in-flight voice recognition market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. Technological advancements in the field of machine learning have enabled companies to develop voice and speech recognition solutions for aircraft. Moreover, these solutions enable single point of control for the entire aircraft, thereby offering convenience for pilots.

Increasing government investments in the aviation industry are expected to accelerate market growth, especially in developing economies in Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Moreover, advancements in the field of communication technologies are expected to encourage market growth during the forecast period. However, the reliability of voice recognition systems is still a concern in commercial use, which is expected to restrain market growth during the forecast period.

There are several technologies being developed around voice recognition. Voice-activated systems are currently being tested for aircraft by key companies such as Honeywell International Inc. The technology is expected to be commercially deployed once it has been certified by regional aviation authorities.

Key Players

The key players in the in-flight voice recognition market are Honeywell International Inc. (US), Raytheon Company (US), NLR-Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre (Netherlands), Rockwell Collins (US), Airbus SAS (Netherlands), Ryanair DAC (Ireland), IBM Corporation (US), Air Force Research Laboratory-Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (US), and SRI International (US).

On the basis of technology, the market has been segmented into voice recognition and speech recognition. The voice recognition segment is expected to register a higher growth rate during the review period as the technology is expected to be commercially deployed once it has been certified by regional aviation authorities. Voice activated systems are currently being tested for use in commercial aircraft and are expected to be deployed in military aircraft as well.

Based on application, the market has been divided into commercial aviation and military aviation. The commercial aviation segment is expected to be larger whereas the military aviation segment is projected to register a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Voice recognition systems are expected to be deployed on military aircraft post full-scale commercialization.

Based on aircraft type, the market has been classified as narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, very large aircraft, and regional transport aircraft. The narrow-body aircraft segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The revenue per seat is higher for narrow-body aircraft as compared to other aircraft types which is economical for airlines. Thus, airlines are working toward deploying in-flight voice recognition systems primarily in narrow-body aircraft.

On the basis of region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The market in Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing owing to increasing investments in the aviation industry, primarily in China and India. Moreover, rising defense investments, specifically in military aviation, are expected to drive the growth of the global in-flight voice recognition market during the forecast period.
