The aircraft engine MRO market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 5.55 billion in 2022 to US$ 7.84 billion by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2021 to 2028.
With the increase in air traffic and aircraft demand, air carriers are boosting their aircraft delivery. The demand for new airlines is not just coming from existing aircraft re-establishing their fleet but also from new low–cost aircraft entering the market. A repressed interest of leisure travelers being more cost-sensitive post-pandemic, decreased interest for business travel, and the adaptability of the minimal expense aircraft plan of action are surging the demand for MRO services. Boeing will deliver more than 49000 airplanes by 2040. Airbus expects more than 39000 airlines in 20 years, from 2020 to 2040. From January to March 2022, Boeing delivered 41 jets, three 767s, one 777F, and 37 737s (35 MAX/2 NG). The narrow-body aircraft is gaining significant popularity nowadays. The share of narrow-body aircraft fleet rose as the attractive seat mile efficiency and the improved-range capacity have made the aircraft preferred over cost-efficient carriers. The increasing sale of the A321LR, which was flying even during the COVID-19 pandemic, is expected to bring lucrative opportunities for the aircraft engine MRO market in the coming years. The delivery of narrow-body aircraft was fueled in 2021 by Federal Aviation Administration and European Union Aviation Safety Agency's decision to recertify the Boeing 737 MAX for commercial use. This is likely to generate new opportunities for the aircraft engine MRO market during the forecast period.
