The galley is the onboard kitchen on an air- and waterborne craft, used for storage and cooking purposes. The galley equipment market is expected to gain significant revenue growth owing to the increased costs of the electric and non-electric inserts. The growing number of passengers and the prevalence of renovation & retrofitting, which demands customized galley systems, energy-saving control systems, and lightweight galley equipment are the number of imperative factors driving the growth of the market. However, the growth of LLC airlines, design limitations in the aircraft or ships, and harmful galley grease are some of the major challenges for the galley equipment market. 

The global galley equipment market is classified on the basis of fit type, galley inserts, and application. Aviation and ship galleys comprise electric and non-electric inserts. The aviation galley has various non-electric inserts such as trolleys, hoods, canopies, serving pots, buffet/bar counters, a stainless steel panel system, trash compactor, and rack/trays. Likewise, electric inserts include stainless steel panel systems, coffee makers, food processing equipment, beverage makers, chillers, air chillers, water boilers, washware machinery, food warmers, dishwaters, and refrigeration systems are installed as part of galley equipment on commercial aircraft, large aircraft, narrow body aircraft, and wide-body aircraft.

The crucial drivers for the market growth are increasing demand for aircraft and ships with lightweight equipment. As of now, customer preference is important for the customization of galley equipment as comfort and ease in many ships and aircraft have promoted the demand for state-of-the-art galley equipment. Furthermore, the demand for private ships and aircraft is increasing and has a direct influence on the demand for galley equipment globally. For instance, Bucher, a company known for its lightweight construction techniques, provides an aluminum galley frame structure, which reduces the overall weight of the galley significantly. On the other hand, JAMCO provides an enhanced galley with its weight-saving technology to the customers. Moreover, the uses of composite-based materials by galley equipment vendors help to reduce the weight of an aircraft, overall fuel consumption, and lower operating costs.
