By Application, the Commercial aviation segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

Commercial aviation operators prioritize routine Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) activities to keep aircraft engines in peak operating condition. These activities encompass regular inspections, lubrication, and component replacements to mitigate wear and tear. Unforeseen engine issues may arise during flight operations, necessitating immediate MRO services for accurate diagnosis and repair. Overhauls entail extensive inspections, repairs, and replacement of components to enhance engine longevity. Commercial airlines may opt for overhauls based on operating hours or predefined intervals. Adherence to regulatory standards is crucial in aviation, and MRO services ensure that aircraft engines adhere to stringent safety and airworthiness regulations established by authorities such as the FAA, EASA, and others.

By Type, Turbofan and turbojet  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

In the aviation industry, aircraft engines undergo maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) processes to ensure optimal performance and safety. Among various types of aircraft engines, turbojet and turbofan engines are commonly used. Turbojet engines operate on the principle of a continuous flow of air entering the compressor section, passing through the combustion chamber, and exiting via the turbine and exhaust. The exhaust gases propel the aircraft forward, making it the simplest form of turbine engine. Modern airliners predominantly utilize turbofan engines due to their enhanced thrust and fuel efficiency. These engines incorporate a fan in the front and an additional turbine at the rear, encasing the core engine.

APAC is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

The low-cost carrier (LCC) business model's continued success in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, driven by factors such as reduced airfares, rising standards of living, a burgeoning middle class, and increasing tourism, has significantly boosted passenger traffic and fueled growth in the commercial aircraft industry. Moreover, fleet operators' increasing preference for energy-efficient aircraft to replace aging models with technologically advanced ones presents substantial opportunities for aircraft and engine manufacturers to expand their presence in APAC. With the aviation industry experiencing the highest growth rates globally and anticipated to lead the sector over the next two decades, this region represents a lucrative market for aircraft engine Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) providers.
