The aircraft engine MRO market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 7.98 billion in 2022 to US$ 11.91 billion by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2021 to 2028.
ring the COVID-19 recovery period, the aviation industry witnessed a gradual recovery, which increased aircraft movements. Aircraft manufacturers and military forces are implementing strategies to increase fleet expansion, contributing to the aircraft engine MRO market growth. Several airline companies implemented various strategies to increase their aircraft engine MRO market share, such as mergers & acquisitions and lining up new flights. For instance, in 2020, Textron Aviation acquired Australian MRO service provider Premiair Aviation Maintenance. In 2022, Malaysian and Turkish airlines are resuming their passenger flights in India after two years; Emirates is also restoring its pre-pandemic schedule of 172 flights per week. Thus, the increased number of flights drives the aircraft engine MRO market significantly. Moreover, the alarmingly high number of recent aircraft accidents due to engine failure concerns internal efficiency and aircraft engine maintenance. This factor is fueling the demand for aircraft engine MRO services, aiding the market's growth. Governments are providing direct support to the aviation industry. Several developed and developing countries, such as China and India, are surfacing as profitable markets for aircraft engine MRO services. For instance, in March 2022, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Safran joined hands and opened a new Helicopter Engines MRO Pvt Ltd. facility in India. This MRO facility will be active by the end of 2023, with the capacity to repair 50 aircraft engines a year and a full capacity target of 150 engines in a couple of years. According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, by 2035, the country's total number of air terminals is likely to double due to the government's financial support for the aviation industry.
