he aircraft engine MRO market in South America is expected to grow from US$ 1.09 billion in 2022 to US$ 1.29 billion by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.0% from 2021 to 2028.
Fuel-efficient aircraft is important due to the increasing price of oil, and airline manufacturers can save a significant amount of money by utilizing less fuel through better fuel–efficiency. If an aircraft uses less fuel, it will produce less CO2 emissions. Aircraft manufacturers are focusing on delivering more fuel-efficient aircraft in upcoming years. Aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing and Airbus, are taking several initiatives, such as replacing old aircraft with new fuel-efficient aircraft and improving flight operations. Airbus forecasted that air transport demand would dynamically move from fleet development to the sped up retirement of older, less fuel-efficient aircraft. This shift is anticipated to require more than 39,000 new commercial and freighter aircraft over the next few years. As a result, most of the passenger aircraft operating will be technologically advanced, with considerably better CO2 efficiency in passenger aircraft fleets. Just 1% of the reduction in the average annual fuel burn of Airbus A320 and Boeing B737-300 will save approximately 100 tons of fuel by 2040, and about 400 tons of CO2 will not be emitted. The United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that carbon emissions will increase by 3% by 2050. IATA takes several initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, such as shortening flight routes. Fuel-efficient aircraft is expected to increase the demand for aircraft engine MRO services, supporting the market in future years.
