Aircraft Landing Gear MRO Market Growth Opportunities and Forecast by 2030

[Research Report] The aircraft landing gear MRO market size was valued at US$ 4,343.97 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 5,392.01 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 2.7% from 2022 to 2030. The aircraft landing gear MRO market forecast is estimated on the basis of various secondary and primary research findings such as key company publications, association data, and databases.

Analyst Perspective:

The aircraft landing gear MRO market has witnessed sluggish growth in the past few years. This is mainly due to the slowdown in aircraft operations worldwide caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the recovery of the airline industry is witnessing slow growth in terms of aircraft MRO demand. However, one of the major factors driving the market is the rising air passenger traffic across different regions. Another major factor boosting the market growth includes the rising number of global aircraft fleets, which is ultimately generating new demand for landing gear MRO services across different airlines worldwide.

Market Overview:

The aircraft landing gear MRO market is likely to register stable growth in the coming years. However, the market is moderately fragmented, with the presence of a large number of players operating across different regions. Moreover, the expected deliveries of commercial aircraft in the next 20 years are likely to generate new opportunities for the market vendors during the forecast period. According to the major aircraft OEMs, i.e., Airbus and Boeing, more than 40,000 commercial aircraft are expected to be delivered by the end of 2042. Further, the growth in procurement of military aircraft is bolstering the aircraft landing gear MRO market across different regions. In addition, the constant tensions among countries such as Russia-Ukraine, China-Taiwan, Israel-Palestine, US-China, India-Pakistan, India-China, etc, are also encouraging the procurement of military aircraft and helicopters. Such tensions among the countries are due to the rising geopolitical competition among different countries for strengthening their respective armed forces for which they are procuring advanced technologies and adding value to their respective air forces. Such factors have been pushing the deployment of military aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs in larger numbers, which is further catalyzing the aircraft landing gear MRO market across different regions.
