Growing demand for older aircraft, the introduction of a new generation of aircraft into the aviation industry, a rise in disposable income, and an increase in airline passenger traffic are all factors driving the market CAGR for aircraft component MRO.
Moreover, increased development programs for aircraft modernisation are a crucial driver that is expected to accelerate market expansion. Yet, mounting environmental hazards associated with MRO aviation services would limit the market's potential for expansion. Furthermore, it is very complex and demanding due to the restricted cooperation between MROs and OEMs about repair standards for new equipment and components, which is also expected to impede the overall growth of the aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) industry.
Furthermore, decreased fuel prices and increased OEM participation will present the market with a lot of growth opportunities. On the other hand, factors such as rising technician demand and rapid technology improvements will act as a substantial impediment to market expansion. As a result, the aircraft component MRO market revenue is increasing.
Aircraft Component MRO Aircraft Type Insights
The Aircraft Component MRO Market segmentation, based on aircraft type includes wide-body aircraft, narrow-body aircraft and regional transport aircraft. Wide-body aircraft are predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR of 56.25% during the projection period. The rise in demand for wide-body aircraft maintenance and repair is due to an increase in long-distance routes with heavy traffic connecting international destinations. In recent years, several new wide-body aircraft manufacturing infrastructures have been built in many countries, increasing OEM engagement in wide-body aircraft MRO service. The expanded aircraft fleet creates more opportunity for OEMs to provide aircraft MRO services.
