The Military aircraft MRO market consists of maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for military aerial platforms such as fighter, trainer, transport and special mission aircraft. The MRO process in military aviation is carried out at different stages of an aircraft’s lifespan which are classified by different levels such as O-level, I-level and D-level.
Military MRO market is highly specialised requiring accuracy and technical expertise. Aircraft maintenance is a mandatory requirement for forces around the world in order to efficiently operate their aircraft fleets and get the best use out of them during their lifespan. Thus, the market is highly driven by ageing fleets that need to be replaced or need midlife upgrades, as well as, the scheduled and unscheduled maintenance of large fleets in various regions.
The study “Military Aircraft Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) - Market and Technology Forecast to 2031” examines, analyses, and predicts the evolution of military MRO technologies, markets, and outlays (expenditures) over the next eight years – 2024-2031 in the aerospace industry. It also examines markets geographically, focusing on the top 95% of global markets, in the North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.
Throughout the report we show how military aircraft MRO is conducted today to add real value, as well as how will they be done in the near and distant future. To provide the most thorough and realistic forecast, this report provides a twin-scenario analysis.
