Market Introduction
The aircraft wheels MRO market in APAC is sub segmented into China, India, South Korea, Australia, Japan, and the Rest of APAC. The region is characterized by the presence of emerging economies such as China, South Korea, India, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Factors such as rising GDP per capita along with the growing share of upper-middle-class and middle class, presence of a large youth population, and growing inclination toward leisure and business tourism are boosting the commercial aviation industry growth. According to Boeing, APAC is expected to receive ~17,390 deliveries during 2019–2038. Thus, the proliferation of the commercial aviation industry is subsequently driving the aircraft wheels MRO market growth in the region. Further, governments across APAC are supporting the development of the aerospace and defense sector. For instance, the Government of India, in March 2020, reduced the Goods and Service Tax (GST) on MRO services from 18% to 5%. Moreover, the region is becoming an MRO hub as various aircraft and component manufacturers, as well as independent aircraft MRO players, are expanding their footprints in the region. For instance, in July 2021, Turkish Technic announced its plans to expand its operations in APAC by joining forces with Sapura Technics, a local maintenance service provider. In August 2021, Lockheed Martin Corporation proposed to set up an MRO facility for F-21 aircraft in India. Furthermore, in July 2021, Air Manas, Kyrgyzstan, awarded an A220 flight-hour services contract to Airbus. In September 2019, STARLUX Airlines, a Taiwan-based airline, awarded Triumph Group a two-year aircraft wheel MRO contract for its A321neo fleet. Strategic tie-ups for defense aircraft wheels MRO services and increasing MRO activities in emerging economies in APAC are the major factor driving the growth of the APAC aircraft wheels MRO market.
In case of COVID-19, APAC is highly affected specially India. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a massive financial loss in the APAC region. The governments of countries in APAC have imposed lockdowns to contain the spread of virus, which has negatively affected the manufacturing sector. China is one of the leading aerospace manufacturing countries in the region; however, owing to the spread of the virus in 2020, the manufacturing facilities have been witnessing severe challenges in generating revenues from different markets. India, Japan, and several Southeast Asian countries are still combating the virus, which is a critical factor slowing the growth of the aircraft MRO market in the region. The aircraft maintenance service providers are observing noteworthy downfall in respective businesses, which is directly attributed to the lesser demand for the same among various end users, including airline operators. The outbreak has substantially disrupted the aircraft MRO services in the region, which had a negative impact on the market. The recovery period is expected to be faster than other regions, as several countries are anticipated to gain new airports in the coming years and governments of various countries, including China, are taking various initiatives to reduce the losses from the aviation industry. Several airlines in the region have retired their wide-body jets and narrow-body jets, which were prime customers of aftermarket products and services. This factor is anticipated to inhibit the aircraft wheels MRO market for the next few months. Thus, the retirement and long-term storage of wide-body jets is creating tremors in the aircraft wheels MRO market.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The APAC aircraft wheels MRO market is expected to grow from US$ 139.89 million in 2021 to US$ 234.64 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2021 to 2028. The need for aircraft wheels maintenance, repairing, and overhauling (MRO) services has increased significantly in the past few years, owing to the rise in demand for passenger airline services. The growing demand for passenger airline services is resulting in extended flying hours of aircraft as well as frequent landing and takeoffs. The extended operational hours of aircraft are leading to a greater risk of wear and tear on aircraft wheels, subsequently underlining the need for a more frequent wheel retrofitting. In addition, major airline companies across the region are expanding their aircraft fleets to meet the escalating demand for airline services. In October 2019, Indigo Airlines decided to extend its aircraft fleet size and placed an order of 300 Airbus 320 neo aircraft. The increasing aircraft fleet sizes are further fueling the businesses of aircraft wheels MRO companies across the APAC region.
