The Global Aerospace and Defense MRO Market was valued at approximately USD 128.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period 2024-2032. The market growth is primarily driven by the increasing defense budgets across nations and the necessity for fleet modernization, particularly in military and commercial aviation sectors. As governments and private operators seek to extend the lifespan of their aircraft, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services have become critical to ensuring aircraft safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
With technological advancements, the aerospace sector is witnessing a paradigm shift towards predictive and preventive maintenance, enabled by AI, IoT, and digital analytics. Predictive maintenance solutions not only minimize unexpected downtime but also enhance the operational efficiency of aging fleets. The rising complexity of next-generation aircraft, along with the increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and smart aviation systems, is further accelerating the demand for specialized MRO services.
The commercial aviation segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024, driven by the surge in global air traffic, expansion of airline fleets, and the growing need for cost-effective maintenance solutions. The increasing frequency of international and domestic flights necessitates regular maintenance and repair services to ensure passenger safety and regulatory compliance. On the other hand, military aviation is anticipated to witness robust growth, fueled by rising geopolitical tensions and the need for defense fleet upgrades.
North America emerged as the largest regional market in 2024, owing to the presence of major aerospace OEMs, high defense expenditure, and a strong MRO ecosystem. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is projected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period, driven by rapid expansion of commercial airlines, increasing defense spending in countries like China and India, and growing partnerships for MRO service expansions.
