Aircraft Maintenance, Repair, And Overhaul (MRO) Market Forecast: Value Set To Climb From $81.12 Billion To $118 Billion
The aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market size has seen rapid growth in recent years. It is anticipated to increase from $73.58 billion in 2025 to $81.12 billion in 2026, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. Historically, this expansion can be attributed to factors such as an increasing aircraft fleet size, rising air passenger traffic, growing aircraft utilization rates, increasing aircraft maintenance requirements, and the expansion of commercial aviation operations.
The aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market is projected to experience substantial expansion over the coming years. Its valuation is anticipated to reach $118 billion by 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. This growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for predictive maintenance services, ongoing aircraft fleet modernization, a heightened need for aircraft lifecycle optimization, the expansion of outsourced MRO activities, and a greater emphasis on aircraft safety and regulatory compliance. Key trends observed throughout this period encompass the wider adoption of predictive aircraft maintenance, an escalating demand for digital aircraft maintenance records, the growing application of condition-based maintenance practices, an increased need for specialized MRO services, and a heightened focus on aircraft lifecycle reliability and airworthiness.

Aircraft Maintenance, Repair, And Overhaul (MRO) Market Demand Drivers Opening New Revenue Streams
The expansion in aircraft fleet size is anticipated to propel the growth of the aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market moving forward. Aircraft fleet size defines the total number of planes owned, operated, or managed by an airline or the aviation industry at a given time, including both active and inactive aircraft. This increase in fleet size primarily stems from rising passenger demand, necessitating airlines to broaden their capacity and acquire more aircraft to meet evolving travel needs. The burgeoning global aircraft fleet consequently drives demand for aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services through heightened requirements for routine inspections, component repairs, engine overhauls, and general maintenance to ensure airworthiness, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. For instance, in August 2025, according to the International Air Transport Association, a Canada-based trade association, as of June 2025, the global commercial fleet consists of 35,550 aircraft, of which 30,300 are in active service and 5,250 are in storage. Thus, the growth in aircraft fleet size is a key factor driving the growth of the aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market.
