Middle East and Africa Commercial Aircraft Maintenance Tooling Market Growth Drivers by 2028

The Middle East and Africa commercial aircraft maintenance tooling market is expected to grow from US$ 130.77 million in 2021 to US$ 166.70 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2021 to 2028.

The aviation industry is highly regulated and requires precise monitoring for safer operations. The airlines and commercial aircraft OEMs require continuous inspection and checking of aircraft for maintaining the guidelines made by aviation authorities. The modern aircraft models require regular check & maintenance of parts and different components to preserve the life span as long as possible along with safer and efficient operations. Also, different commercial aircraft components require common maintenance tools and specific tools to perform maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations. Therefore, the maintenance tools play an important role in retaining the life span of an aircraft and support the airlines, aircraft OEMs, and MRO service providers to retain efficient operations that also lead to better aircraft performance. Moreover, the rising awareness for predictive aircraft maintenance is one of the major trends propelling the demand for aircraft maintenance worldwide across the aviation sector. In addition, the deployment of new technologies in commercial aircraft and demand for refurbishment of old generation commercial aircraft fleet are expected to drive the demand for commercial aircraft maintenance tooling in the near future.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on the Middle East and Africa commercial aviation industry. The countries in the region imposed air travel bans to curb the spread of the virus, which impaired the entire aviation industry ecosystem. The region has a minimal number of maintenance tools suppliers for commercial aviation, and the Maintenance, Repair and Operations in the region rely heavily on the international suppliers. This is one of the key factors for the decline in revenues caused by the emergence of COVID-19. Further, the decision to retire or long-term storage of aircraft fleet by various MEA based airlines has resulted in revenue loss of MRO facilities. Nonetheless, as the airlines in the region are removing their fleet from storage facilities for renewed operations, it is anticipated that the number of aircraft movements will upsurge, which would subsequently propel the demand for maintenance tools among the MRO facilities.

With the new advancements and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Middle East and Africa commercial aircraft maintenance tooling market. The commercial aviation industry had been witnessing a significant growth rate prior to the outbreak of COVID-19. However, the concerns related to vibrations on aircraft engines and airframes are among the most critical aspects for MRO service providers and airline operators with in-house MRO facility looks upon. This is due to the fact that more than any other industry, each component in the aviation industry is mission-critical as a single defect has the potential of causing costly or catastrophic consequences. Therefore, engine and airframe vibration analysis are of utmost importance for the aircraft operators and MRO service providers, which is propelling the demand for vibration meters in the MRO industry stakeholders, bolstering the commercial aircraft maintenance tooling market.
