In terms of revenue, the global air transport used serviceable material market was valued at US$ 4,980.2 million in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ 8,307.9 million by 2027 at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period.
The air transport used serviceable material market is broadly segmented into five major regions—North America, Europe, APAC, MEA, and SAM. The presence of well-developed countries such as the US and Canada and high focus on aerospace sector are two of the major factors responsible for the growth of air transport USM market in North America. The US and Canada are characterized by high disposable individual incomes, higher standards of living, and rapid technological advancements in the arena of aerospace engineering. Owing to the higher standards of living in North America, airplanes are the most widely used means of transport for domestic as well as international travel. Hence, the demand of commercial aircrafts for passenger travel and cargo services is quite high in this region. The North American region is also a hub of some of the world’s largest aircraft and helicopter manufacturers such as Boeing, Textron, Gulfstream, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Piper Aircraft Inc., Cirrus Design Corporation, Electric Aircraft Corporation, and Bombardier.

Market Insights–Air Transport Used Serviceable Material Market
Refurbishment of Existing Aircrafts
The global airspace is experiencing huge demand for air travel in terms of commercial aircrafts. This is leading the airlines and defense forces to keep their fleets ready with the latest technology and ensure robust components integrated. Refurbishment of existing commercial aircrafts is a major trend prevailing in the aviation industry at present. The trend is expected to surge over the period leading to huge opportunity for the aircraft component suppliers and the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) companies. The refurbishment of aircrafts includes engine, landing gears, radars and antennas among others. The USM suppliers ensure the availability of some of the major aircraft components at lesser costs and higher reliability, which is increasing the interest among the aircraft manufacturers. Thus, such programs drive the demands for air transport USM as these are low cost alternatives available in the market. Further, different stakeholders in the aviation industry have ventured into the air transport USM space. The aircraft OEMs, component suppliers, MROs have all tapped into the market driving its growth.
Product Type Segment Insights
Based on product type, the engine segment dominated the global air transport used serviceable material market in 2018. Engine OEMs such as General Electric and Pratt and Whitney occupy a considerable share in the engine based USM market. These companies source parts and then integrate them into the customer engine through their own expertise and thereby ensure keeping the costs of engine lower as compared to the newer ones.
Aircraft Type Segment Insights
Based on aircraft type, the narrowbody aircraft segment dominated the global air transport used serviceable material market in 2018. Based on various economic growth factors, evolving business models, and varying dynamics in the global marketplace, a large number of narrowbody aircrafts are being put into operations. The rapid increase in air passengers across the globe, travelling to short and medium haul routes, is generating substantial demand for narrowbody aircrafts. The retirement share of narrowbody aircrafts being the highest, the demand for USM for this segment is also expected to remain the highest during the forecast period.
Accessories Segment Insights
Based on provider, the sights segment held the largest share in global air transport used serviceable material market in 2018. The non-OEM segment consists of MRO service providers and specialty component suppliers. Aircrafts are purchased to operate for longer times and these aircraft fleets that have been in operation for more than a decade or so remain deprived of the advanced technological integrations that emerge on consistent basis.
