Commercial Aircraft Aftermarket Parts Market Global Report 2026

The commercial aircraft aftermarket parts market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $37.02 billion in 2025 to $39.59 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth during the historic period was driven by increasing commercial aircraft fleet size, rising demand for aircraft maintenance activities, growing need for replacement of aging aircraft components, expansion of aviation maintenance networks, and increasing focus on aircraft safety and regulatory compliance.

The commercial aircraft aftermarket parts market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $50.97 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of predictive aircraft maintenance practices, increasing demand for cost-effective aftermarket solutions, rising expansion of global air travel operations, growing utilization of digital parts tracking systems, and increasing focus on aircraft lifecycle management. Major trends during the forecast period include increasing adoption of predictive maintenance solutions for aircraft components, growing demand for certified and traceable aftermarket aircraft parts, rising expansion of digital aircraft parts management platforms, increasing focus on cost-efficient aircraft maintenance solutions, and growing utilization of used serviceable material in aircraft repairs.

The increasing commercial aircraft fleet size is expected to drive the growth of the commercial aircraft aftermarket parts market in the coming years. Commercial aircraft fleet size refers to the total number of passenger and cargo aircraft actively operated by airlines and aviation companies for commercial transportation purposes. The growth in commercial aircraft fleet size is attributed to rising passenger air travel demand, as airlines increase their capacity by adding more aircraft to serve the growing number of travelers across domestic and international routes. A larger commercial aircraft fleet size increases demand for commercial aircraft aftermarket parts by expanding the number of aircraft in operation, which leads to higher maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) activities and greater requirements for replacement and serviceable components throughout the aircraft lifecycle. For instance, in January 2024, according to Airbus SE, a Netherlands-based aerospace and defense corporation, 735 commercial aircraft were delivered in 2023, representing an 11% increase compared with 2022. Therefore, the increasing commercial aircraft fleet size is driving the growth of the commercial aircraft aftermarket parts market.

Major companies operating in the commercial aircraft aftermarket parts market are concentrating on developing innovative platforms, including used serviceable material (USM) direct distribution platforms, to improve cost efficiency, fleet sustainability, and supply chain resilience amid increasing demand for affordable, certified aircraft components and limited OEM production capacity. Used serviceable material (USM) refers to previously operated aircraft components recovered from retired or dismantled aircraft, which undergo detailed inspection, repair, testing, and certification processes to ensure continued airworthiness. These components provide a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to newly manufactured OEM parts while complying with stringent aviation safety requirements. For instance, in April 2025, Lufthansa Technik AG, a Germany-based maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) company, launched a dedicated USM business in the United States, expanding beyond surplus parts sales into a structured direct distribution model for airlines and operators. This initiative involves sourcing components from internal surplus inventories as well as aircraft teardown programs, followed by certification, traceability validation, and quality assurance processes in accordance with aviation regulatory standards before redistribution. The solution incorporates advanced inventory pooling systems, digital procurement platforms, and regional logistics hubs across the U.S. to facilitate faster deliveries and improve parts availability throughout North and South American markets. By reducing reliance on traditional aftermarket intermediaries and providing direct access to certified components, the platform enhances maintenance turnaround times and reduces operational expenses for airlines.

In December 2024, VSE Corporation, a US-based aerospace and aviation aftermarket services company, acquired Kellstrom Aerospace Group for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, VSE Corporation aims to strengthen its position in the commercial aerospace aftermarket by expanding its parts distribution capabilities, improving its used serviceable material (USM) sourcing network, and increasing its customer reach across global airline and MRO segments. Kellstrom Aerospace Group is a US-based company that provides commercial aircraft aftermarket parts.
