Aircraft Engine Maintenance, Repair, And Overhaul (MRO) Market Global Report 2026

The aircraft engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $47.14 billion in 2025 to $50.3 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing global aircraft fleet size, rising commercial air traffic, growing demand for aircraft engine reliability, increasing engine maintenance requirements, and rising aircraft utilization rates.

The aircraft engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $65.76 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of predictive maintenance practices, rising demand for engine lifecycle optimization, growing commercial aircraft deliveries, increasing demand for engine overhaul services, and rising focus on reducing aircraft maintenance downtime. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of predictive engine maintenance, rising demand for engine health monitoring, growing use of condition-based maintenance, increasing focus on engine life extension, and rising demand for faster engine turnaround times.

The growing air passenger traffic worldwide is expected to propel the growth of the aircraft engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market going forward. Air passenger traffic refers to the movement of travelers carried by commercial airlines on domestic and international routes. The volume of air passenger traffic is rising due to increasing disposable incomes, which enable more people to travel by air for business and leisure purposes. Growth in air passenger traffic directly supports the expansion of aircraft engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services by increasing aircraft utilization, flight frequencies, and engine operating hours, thereby driving greater demand for regular inspections, repairs, overhauls, and long-term engine maintenance solutions to ensure fleet safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. For instance, in January 2025, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a Canada-based trade association, total full-year global air passenger traffic, measured in revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs), increased by 10.4% in 2024 compared with 2023, while international passenger traffic rose by 13.6% year over year, reflecting strong growth in air travel demand. Therefore, growing air passenger traffic worldwide is driving the growth of the aircraft engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market.

Major companies operating in the aircraft engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market are concentrating on expanding advanced facilities, such as next-generation aircraft engine MRO centers, to strengthen engine maintenance capabilities, improve operational efficiency, enhance supply chain resilience, and support increasing aviation demand. Next-generation aircraft engine MRO centers are specialized facilities equipped with advanced inspection systems, precision repair technologies, digital monitoring tools, and skilled technical expertise to conduct comprehensive engine servicing, restoration, and lifecycle management while improving reliability compared with traditional maintenance facilities. For instance, in November 2025, Safran, a France-based aerospace and defense company, inaugurated Safran Aircraft Engine Services India (SAESI), a dedicated MRO facility for LEAP engines at the GMR Aerospace and Industrial Park - SEZ, Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad, India. The facility is designed to service LEAP engines that power Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and represents the first MRO operation established in India by a global aircraft engine original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Spanning 45,000 square meters, the facility was developed with an initial investment of approximately ₹1,300 crore ($136.03 million) and is equipped with advanced process equipment to provide world-class engine maintenance and repair services.

In January 2025, Safran Aircraft Engines, a France-based provider of aircraft engines and aftermarket services, acquired Component Repair Technologies (CRT) for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Safran aimed to strengthen its global maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) network by expanding its expertise in repairing large engine parts for CFM56, LEAP, and other large turbofan engines. Component Repair Technologies Inc. (CRT) is a US-based aerospace services company specializing in the repair of aircraft engine components, including large engine cases and rotating parts, for CFM56, LEAP, and other large turbofan engines.
