Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhauling Services Market Report 2026

The aircraft maintenance, repair and overhauling services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $91.03 billion in 2025 to $97.02 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of global commercial and military aviation fleets, increasing complexity of aircraft requiring specialized maintenance, growth in spare parts production for aircraft components, rise of dedicated mro service providers, government regulations mandating regular aircraft inspections and safety compliance.

The aircraft maintenance, repair and overhauling services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $129.86 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for advanced MRO services for drones and unmanned aerial vehicles, growth in global air travel boosting aircraft utilization and maintenance needs, adoption of predictive maintenance technologies using AI and IoT, expansion of mro networks in emerging markets, rising investment in sustainable and efficient aircraft maintenance solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for scheduled aircraft maintenance contracts, growing adoption of predictive maintenance technologies, rising retrofits and upgrades for aircraft avionics systems, expansion of mro services for drones and uavs, integration of advanced spare parts and engine overhaul solutions.

The increasing demand for commercial aircraft is expected to drive the growth of the aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhauling (MRO) services market in the coming years. A commercial aircraft is an aircraft specifically designed and operated to transport passengers or cargo for commercial or business purposes. Aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul services are essential to ensure the safety, reliability, and airworthiness of commercial aircraft. An MRO facility is equipped to perform mandatory maintenance activities and inspections. For example, in July 2025, according to ADS Group Limited, a UK-based trade organization, 596 aircraft were delivered in the first half of 2025, representing a 19% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Therefore, the rising demand for commercial aircraft is fueling the growth of the aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhauling services market.

Leading companies in the aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhauling services market are increasingly focusing on introducing predictive maintenance systems, such as aircraft health analysis and diagnosis tools, to enhance operational efficiency and strengthen their market position. Predictive maintenance systems are maintenance strategies that use data-driven, proactive techniques to assess equipment condition and predict when maintenance should be performed. For example, in June 2023, Embraer Services & Support, a Brazil-based company involved in commercial and executive aviation, defense, and security, introduced a next-generation version of its Aircraft Health Analysis and Diagnosis (AHEAD) system, a new predictive maintenance solution for executive jets. The industry is shifting from reactive maintenance to predictive maintenance, supported by more advanced health and usage monitoring systems integrated into flight-critical aircraft components. AHEAD compiles and analyzes patterns from various systems, including engine parameters, hydraulics, pneumatics, landing gear, and instrumentation. This monitoring identifies trends and irregularities that indicate potential issues or system degradation and provides a timeline for addressing those concerns.

In August 2023, HEICO Corporation, a US-based aerospace and defense company, acquired Wencor Group, Inc. for $2.05 billion. Through this acquisition, HEICO aims to expand its Flight Support Group, realize significant financial and operational synergies, offer cost-effective solutions for customers, and accelerate growth by integrating Wencor’s complementary capabilities. Wencor Group, Inc. is a US-based commercial and military aircraft aftermarket company specializing in aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul services.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on aircraft components, engines, and spare parts have increased costs and disrupted supply chains for the aircraft MRO services market, particularly affecting airlines and defense operators in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. Rising component prices and import delays have slowed maintenance schedules and extended aircraft downtime. Wide-body and narrow-body aircraft segments are most affected due to reliance on imported engines and avionics systems. Positively, tariffs are encouraging local sourcing, regional manufacturing investments, and adoption of more cost-efficient maintenance strategies.
