"The North American Aerospace MRO Market is likely to grow at a significant CAGR of 1.6% in the long run to reach US$ 65.3 billion in 2032".

Market Dynamics

Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations are crucial for maintaining the safety and efficiency of aircraft operations. These activities encompass routine inspections, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, component repair, and major overhauls, all intending to ensure airworthiness and safety standards are upheld.

Specialized organizations conduct these services, playing an essential role in maintaining the requisite safety standards for aircraft operations.

Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions

A huge number of strategic alliances including M&As, JVs, etc. have been performed over the past few years:

  • In February 2024, AAR and Air Canada entered a letter of intent for a ten-year, renewable agreement for airframe maintenance.
  • In January 2024, AAR Corp. announced a new multi-year agreement with Ontic, granting AAR distribution rights to supply a strategic selection of military products to the U.S. government, with exclusivity on specified parts.
  • In November 2023, the Defense Logistics Agency awarded Pratt & Whitney a US$ 870 million long-term contract to provide comprehensive services to a fleet of almost 1,000 engines powering B-52s and E-3s.
  • In November 2023, Triumph Group, Inc. was selected by Honeywell Aerospace to provide the next-generation Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for future Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) models for both commercial and non-commercial aircraft.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic's sudden onset had a profound impact on the entire aviation industry, affecting both production and services. This disruption led to a significant decrease in air travel demand, resulting in grounded fleets and reduced MRO activities. The industry faced unprecedented challenges as it grappled with navigating through these turbulent times.

Despite its status as a substantial market, the aerospace MRO business was inevitably affected by the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the North American market notably demonstrated resilience, experiencing a robust recovery from the pandemic's effects.

By the year 2022, the region's civil aviation business had rebounded significantly, returning to profitability. Furthermore, an incessant shift to air travel and rising geopolitical tensions are likely to give impetus to the demand for MRO activities.
