Drivers:

Rapid Urbanization and the Rising Economic Growth in Emerging Countries

The latest data published by the United Nations in 2023, reported that more than half the world’s population (56.2 percent) live in cities. This trend toward greater urbanization can be seen in all regions of the world but is most pronounced in Latin America and the Caribbean, where more than 80 percent of the population now live in urban areas. Urbanization looks set to continue to follow this upward curve, with the United Nations predicting that 68 percent of the global population will live in urban areas by 2050. Moreover, the rising incomes, the expansion of low-cost carriers, and technological improvements are growing the demand for aviation, thereby driving the growth of the studied market.

Increased Business and Tourism Travels

Business travel has always been an integral part of the corporate world. It provides opportunities to meet clients face-to-face, attend conferences and networking events, and explore new markets. The travel and tourism sector comprises a wide range of products and services, including leisure and business travel, accommodation, food and drink services, and more. As per the latest data published by NCBI reported that business and travel tourism has reportedly increased by 44% in the past decade which has increased the growth of aviation travel by 24%, thereby driving the growth of the studied market over the forecast period.

Restraints:

High Cost of Aviation

The high cost of aviation travel may make it difficult for people living in developing and middle-class countries to access it and thus the growth of the studied market may slow down over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Aircraft MRO Market

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the growth of various other markets globally and has impacted the growth of the aircraft MRO market. This resulted in a full-scale crisis, with the imposition of travel restrictions and suspension of flights in a global effort to contain the spread of the virus. Due to decreased passenger traffic and limited aircraft movements, the market for maintenance, repair, and overhaul was affected significantly in 2020. Nevertheless, as travel restrictions decrease in 2021 and aircraft movements gradually increase, the demand for aircraft maintenance is expected to witness positive growth in the coming years and the market is expected to gain traction over the forecast period.

Segmental Analysis:

The Engine MRO Segment is Likely to Dominate the Market During the Forecast Period

Engine MRO includes field maintenance and depot maintenance checks. Depot-level maintenance entails material maintenance, major repair, overhaul, or complete rebuilding of engines, parts, end items, assemblies, and subassemblies. It also includes the manufacturing of parts, technical assistance, and testing. 

The recent developments in the engine MRO segment are expected to drive the growth of the studied segment over the forecast period. For instance, in December 2021, the low-cost airline of Saudi Arabia, flynas, finalized a multi-year Rate Per Flight Hour (RPFH) agreement with CFM International for the LEAP-1A engines powering the airline’s fleet of 80 Airbus A320neo aircraft. The RPFH agreement is a part of CFM’s portfolio of flexible aftermarket support offerings. Throughout the term of the agreement, CFM will guarantee maintenance costs for the airline’s 160 LEAP-1A engines on per per-engine flight hour basis. Such developments are anticipated to drive the engine MRO segment of the market during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific Region is Expected to Witness Significant Growth Over the Forecast Period

The commercial aviation industry in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow rapidly as the Asia-Pacific region currently operates 1/3rd of the global commercial aircraft fleet, and the fleet in the region is expected to reach over 13,000 aircraft by 2031, with China’s airline fleet accounting for over 45% of the region’s total.

Furthermore, according to industry experts, with the extension of lease contracts of airlines, the average age of the aircraft fleet in the Asia-Pacific region increased to 18 to 24 years. Thus, such instances are driving the growth of the studied market over the forecast period.

Moreover, in 2020, Pratt & Whitney expanded its global Pratt & Whitney GTF engine maintenance network with two new MRO providers in China. Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Corporation (Ameco) (a joint venture of Air China Limited and Lufthansa Airlines) and MTU Maintenance Zhuhai Co. Ltd (a joint venture of MTU Aero Engines and China Southern Airline Company Limited) became new facilities as part of the GTF MRO network to provide engine maintenance for PW1100G-JM engines for the Airbus A320neo family of aircraft. Moreover, low-cost labor markets, such as Vietnam and Thailand, are becoming increasingly attractive to OEMs and MROs for setting up new facilities to cater to the growing demand across the region. Such developments are expected to drive the growth of the market in focus in the region.
