Market Overview

The Japanese aircraft napkin market consists of the design, manufacture, distribution, and use of both disposable and reusable type aircraft napkins used in all types of civil aviation companies, which are composed of commercial airlines, private jets, and cargo carriers. Aircraft napkins are a necessity on all flights, for that reason, they are generally made from either paper, linen, or biodegradable fibre materials. Aircraft napkins serve as wipes for food and beverages served on aircraft, cleansers between meals, and serve as a carrier of items of comfort for passengers while flying. Japanese airlines, including all Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL), represent two large national air transportation companies and therefore are leading the Japanese napkin market as they see a large growth in the domestic volume of air travel. As more airlines expand, including new low-cost carriers, there is an increase in flights, which causes an increase in demand for napkins provided by suppliers. The growth in the aircraft napkin market is aided by Japan's increased focus on green aviation and manufacturers and suppliers of eco-products, by encouraging airlines to adopt eco-friendly products, including biodegradable cabin consumables, due to government waste reduction programs and regulations limiting plastic use. The government also supports the local manufacturers and suppliers in Japan by promoting the strengthening of domestic manufacturing and quality standards for their cabin consumables.
