Airport Sleeping Pods Market

Airport Sleeping Pods Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

According to this latest Fact.MR study, the global airport sleeping pods market is estimated at US$ 67.83 million in 2023. Worldwide installation of airport sleeping pods is expected to increase at a CAGR of 5% and reach a market value of US$ 110.49 million by the end of the forecast period (2023 to 2033).

Airport sleeping pods, also called napping pods or nap pods, are small structures, which provide a place for travellers to rest or sleep. They are most commonly found as capsule-shaped beds and depending on their size or shape, they can cater to one or more individuals.

Airport rest pods also have compartments to store luggage, a few power sockets for light, Wi-Fi, and charging any electronic device. Depending on the airport, the availability of a sleeping cabin may vary. Single occupancy sleeping pods and shared occupancy sleeping pods are two types of airport sleeping pods available in the market.

• Global sales of single occupancy sleeping pods are predicted to rise at a CAGR of 5.5% over the next 10 years.

Single occupancy sleeping pods are more in demand as compared to shared occupancy sleeping pods. One of the main reasons for the rising demand for single occupancy sleeping pods is the increasing risk of contagious diseases such as COVID-19. For solo travellers, single occupancy sleeping pods offer a cost-effective choice. Compared to traditional hotels or hostels, single occupancy sleeping pods form an affordable alternative. The rising trend of solo travelling is also stimulating the demand for single-chair sleeping pods.

Seen at many airports, co-living spaces, or capsule hotels, single occupancy sleeping pods are highly popular as flexible accommodations among travellers. Despite their compact space, they provide privacy and safety to users. Equipped with safety locking systems, single occupancy sleeping pods offer the safety of personal belongings. Changing lifestyles of individuals, growing demand for modern equipment, and increasing demand for cost-effective resting solutions are boosting market growth.

Why is Deployment of Airport Sleeping Pods Expected to Rise Steadily?

“Growing Trend of Sustainability Driving Demand for Sleeping Pods with Renewable Energy”

Increasing knowledge and awareness of environmental issues are forcing the hospitality industry and other accommodation providers to adopt sustainable practices. Numerous models of sleeping pods are being produced with a strong focus on sustainability, utilizing energy-efficient features and eco-friendly materials.

Sustainable sleeping pods are manufactured with energy-efficient features such as smart thermostats, LED lights, and smart sensors. These features are aiding in saving energy and reducing carbon emissions. Manufacturers of sleeping pods are producing solar panel-equipped nap pods or other renewable energy-utilizing pods to provide electricity on-site.

Sleeping pods are also manufactured using sustainable woods, recycled materials, low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints, and other eco-friendly building materials. Thus, eco-friendly features and sustainable practices are attracting more eco-conscious travellers to opt for these sleeping pods. Demand for eco-friendly sleeping pods is increasing due to the growing need for environmentally friendly accommodations, which can provide comfort and convenience.

“Introduction of Smart Access Systems in Sleeping Pods”

Technological advancements have a significant influence on the design and functionality of airport sleeping pods, which aid in transforming them from simple resting spaces to sophisticated, user-friendly environments. Ongoing innovations are catering to the needs and preferences of modern travellers, offering them a more enjoyable and seamless experience.

Nowadays, travellers often carry electronic devices during journeys such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets. Integrated charging stations within airport sleeping pods help users conveniently charge their electronic devices.

Travellers can use sleeping pods equipped with personal entertainment systems, in cases of layovers or delays at the airport. Systems installed in these pods have touch-screen displays or tablets that provide access to movies, entertainment shows, music, and more. These features allow passengers to spend their time more comfortably.

Many modern sleeping pod producers are advancing their products through smart access systems such as RFID cards or mobile apps, for check-in and entry. Such advancements are expected to aid users in a secure and seamless check-in process without the need for physical keys or cards. Some advanced sleeping pods are employed with the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies such as smart sensors and more.

What is Restraining Revenue Growth of Manufacturers of Airport Sleeping Pods?

“High Accommodation Cost and Presence of Alternatives”

Airport sleeping pods are considered as luxury accommodations due to their high features and convenience. Some budget-conscious travellers may drop choosing airport sleeping pods due to their high price. These travellers may also choose alternatives such as airport lounges, public seating areas, or even nearby hotels.

Many of the travellers have short waits or layovers in between flights. Paying for such a short period of accommodation is expensive for travellers. Airport sleeping pods are less popular among the majority of travellers. A lack of awareness also hampers the growth of the airport sleeping pods market.

Some airports are close to hotels, so if a passenger needs a long break, they might decide to reserve a room. Hotels are a more enticing option for longer layovers because hotel charges are only marginally higher depending on the services provided.

Why are Many Start-ups Investing in the Airport Sleeping Pods Market?

“Innovations & Strategic Partnerships Opening Opportunistic Doors for New Companies”

The airport sleeping pods industry is expected to be an opportunistic space for newcomers due to the rising trend toward modernization and the majority of travellers’ high spending power. New entrants are introducing innovative and unique designs for sleeping pods at the airport. By incorporating cutting-edge technologies, sustainable features, and enhanced user experiences, new entrants are setting themselves apart from established players in the market.

By forming strategic partnerships with airports and airlines, new market players are expected to gain access to prime airports and a larger consumer base. Such partnerships generally lead to exclusive contracts, which are anticipated to help start-ups to establish a foothold in the marketplace.

New Manufacturers are offering their pods at affordable or competitive prices, which is attracting wide consumers and increasing their popularity & revenue shares. Introducing smart technologies such as travelling apps may increase the visibility and accessibility of sleeping pod facilities. Mobile apps streamline the booking process and improve the overall customer experience, consequently boosting new market player’s revenue growth.
