DUBLIN, March 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Aircraft Component MRO Market Report by Aircraft Type, Component, Application, and Region 2024-2032" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global aircraft component MRO market size reached US$ 20.2 billion in 2023. The market is projected to reach US$ 29.8 billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% during 2023-2032. The market is experiencing steady growth driven by the growing number of air travel, aging aircraft fleets, stringent regulatory compliance to extend the lifespan of aircraft, and integration of advanced components and systems to improve fuel efficiency.

The rising adoption of aircraft component maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) due to the aging aircraft fleet is propelling the growth of the market. In line with this, many airlines and operators continue to operate older aircraft models due to the substantial capital investment required for fleet replacement. These aging aircraft require more frequent and extensive maintenance to ensure they meet safety and performance standards.

Moreover, MRO providers play a crucial role in extending the lifespan of these aircraft by conducting regular inspections, repairs, and component replacements. Apart from this, advancements in MRO techniques and materials allow for the cost-effective refurbishment of older aircraft, making it an attractive option for airlines seeking to maximize the return on their investments while maintaining high safety standards.

Leading Key Players in the Aircraft Component MRO Industry:

Key players in the market are continuously performing inspections and maintenance tasks to identify and address wear and tear, damage, or potential issues with various aircraft components. They are disassembling, repairing, and reassembling components to restore them to their original or serviceable condition, if components are found to be damaged.

In addition, manufacturers are conducting comprehensive testing, such as performance testing and functionality checks, to ensure that repaired or overhauled components meet strict quality and safety standards. Apart from this, companies are retrofitting aircraft with eco-friendly components and systems, such as more fuel-efficient engines and emissions-reduction technologies, to align with sustainability goals. Many MRO companies leverage data analytics and predictive maintenance technologies to monitor the health of components in real-time.
