Commercial Aircraft Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) - Market and Technology Forecast to 2032
The Commercial aircraft MRO market consists of maintenance, repair and overhaul services for commercial aircraft platforms such as regional, narrowbody, widebody and business jet aircraft. The MRO process in commercial aviation is carried out at different stages of an aircraft’s lifespan. Based on the maintenance scope and tasks, MRO type in this study is classified as engine, airframe, components, line, and modifications.
The market players include aircraft OEMs that provide aftermarket services for their platforms, independent MRO service providers and airline MRO businesses.
Commercial aircraft MRO market is a highly specialised market requiring a high level of accuracy and skilled technical expertise. Aircraft maintenance is a mandatory requirement for platforms around the world in order to efficiently operate the aircraft and avoid catastrophic failures due to lack of maintenance leading to loss of life. Following the standard scheduled MRO checks and catering to the unscheduled repairs, occurring due to accidents, enable aircraft end users to get the best use out of the platforms during their life span and even prolong the life span of the aircraft. Thus, the market is highly driven by ageing airline fleets that need midlife upgrades, as well as, the scheduled and unscheduled maintenance of large airline fleets in various regions.
Additionally, the increasing travel demand post the COVID-19 pandemic has led to many airlines into placing new aircraft orders. These aircraft once delivered, will add to the growth of the MRO demand that the commercial aircraft industry will generate.
The study “Commercial Aircraft Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) - Market and Technology Forecast to 2032” examines, analyses, and predicts the evolution of commercial MRO technologies, markets, and outlays (expenditures) over the next 8 years – 2025-2032 in the aerospace industry. It also examines markets geographically, focusing on the top 95% of global markets, in the North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.
Throughout the study we show how commercial aircraft MRO is conducted today to add real value, as well as how will they be done in the near and distant future. To provide the most thorough and realistic forecast, this report provides a twin-scenario analysis.
