An aircraft component known as a passenger service unit (PSU) is located above each row in the overhead panel above the passenger seats in an airplane’s cabin.
A PSU includes reading lights, announcement loudspeakers, illuminated signs to remind passengers to buckle up and refrain from smoking, buttons to call for help (though some aircraft mount these on the armrest), air conditioning vents, and automatically deployed oxygen masks in the event of cabin depressurization.
These are not present on any older or smaller aircraft, including the tiniest feederliners.
The proper seat layout is a key factor in the deployment of an aircraft’s passenger service units. Most airlines require adaptable cabins, particularly in economy, that can be easily reconfigured to meet shifting operational and commercial demands.
The Global aircraft passenger service unit market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Due to ongoing improvements in cabin interiors, some changes have been made to the design of commercial aircraft PSUs in recent years. OEMs are redesigning the fuselage structure and adding more roomy cabins to provide passenger-friendly cabin conditions.
Sleeker PSUs are becoming more common in contemporary commercial aircraft as a result of such improvements. The screen display on new PSUs enables the airlines to communicate important information to passengers in each row.
The screen not only shows important information like safety videos before takeoff but also a moving map as you fly. Because of their enormous potential to improve passenger convenience, screens are therefore expected to become essential components in future PSUs.
Passenger Service Units (PSU) are used commercially by Astronics, which provides vertically integrated solutions thanks to its in-house design, production, and finishing skills. Astronics takes complete ownership of the design, development, and qualification of new technologies for the majority of PSU initiatives, including manufacturing and final assembly.
The creation of svelte and appealing PSUs that improve aeroplane comfort and safety is a major element in the expansion of the worldwide commercial aircraft passenger service unit (PSU) market. Modern aeroplanes come with very sophisticated comfort features, and airline operators are constantly looking for ways to make travelling more convenient for passengers.
PSUs are crucial parts of an aeroplane that provide the perfect balance of comfort, safety, and servicing components. OEMs and airline operators favour sleeker PSUs over conventional, bulkier PSUs used earlier in commercial aircraft as the sector develops.

Aside from the development of PSUs with the display, factors such as the growing supply chain consolidation in aviation and the development of personalised PSUs will have a significant impact on the growth of the commercial aircraft PSU market during the forecast period.” Following North America in order of market share were Europe, APAC, South America, and MEA.
The developed commercial aviation sector in North America is largely backed by the country’s strong aviation infrastructure. Domestic air travel has increased as a result of the US economy’s recovery, and this has greatly accelerated the use of commercial aircraft.
The regional commercial aircraft PSU market will be supported throughout the forecast period by the rising investments in both aircraft and aircraft components in North America.
