US General Aviation Aircraft MRO Market to Grow at a CAGR of 5.9% to reach US$ 5.24 billion from 2022 to 2028
The general aviation aircraft MRO market in US is expected to grow from US$ 3.59 billion in 2022 to US$ 5.24 billion by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.9% from 2022 to 2028.
In the aviation industry, MRO services play an important role in assuring the durability, safety, and profitability of airlines. In addition, businesses are working on adopting new and trending technologies, which will help them digitalize their business processes. Advanced technologies such as blockchain improve processes in MRO organizations. Blockchain technology has massive potential in the MRO space. So far, the adoption of this technology has been low; however, soon, it will contribute a considerable share to the overall growth of the general aviation aircraft MRO market. Moreover, with the help of blockchain technology, companies can record the configuration details of MRO components. This makes the documentation process for component manufacturers and MRO service providers effortless. Also, the deployment of this technology enables MRO service providers to offer verifiable documentation regarding the parts they have installed in the aircraft, thereby maintaining transparency in their operations. Various general aviation aircraft MRO market players are opting for blockchain technology. For instance, in March 2021, Government Blockchain Association and Digital Innovation Group formed a joint venture named GBA Aviation & Aerospace Working Group. This joint venture is created to explore the use of blockchain in the aerospace & aviation sector for MRO services, supply chains, and airports. Aviation industry players such as aircraft manufacturers, aircraft MRO service providers, and developers of aviation technology are highly emphasizing on adopting blockchain technology to track their MRO processes. Thus, the adoption of blockchain technology is expected to be a key trend in the general aviation aircraft MRO market growth in the coming years.

Speak to AnalystImpact of COVID-19 Pandemic on General Aviation Aircraft MRO Market
The sudden outbreak of the pandemic adversely impacted the general aviation aircraft MRO market growth in 2020. According to the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), several general aviation airports across the US witnessed a decrease in the sale of aviation gasoline and jet fuel to one-tenth of the general fuel earnings in April 2020. Airports that experienced a decline in demand for fuel included Gainesville Municipal Airport (GLE) in Texas, Okeechobee County Airport (OBE) in Florida, and Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport (LBX). This drop in fuel sales across the airports was directly related to the decrease in general aviation traffic. For instance, according to NBAA, Florida’s Fernandina Beach Airport (FHB) experienced a decrease in demand for charter flights by ~80% in Q1 of 2020. The rapid drop in demand for charter flights across the airport was observed after the New York tri-state order to halt travel plans both domestically and internationally for general aviation passengers to combat the spread of SARS-CoV-2 across the country. These factors negatively impacted the general aviation industry across the US. The significant decrease in demand for charter flights and a complete halt on general aviation travel across the country to combat the spread of the virus further significantly impacted the US general aviation aircraft MRO market negatively.
Market Insights – US General Aviation Aircraft MRO Market
The US general aviation aircraft MRO market is expected to be driven by a rise in air passenger traffic, the need to improve operability and performance, and the requirement for disassembling, replacing, testing, and repairing the various components of the aircraft. Also, owing to the rising number of people interested in sightseeing and skydiving, the demand for those flights is further increasing in the country. Thus, as these airlines are experiencing a significantly higher density of air traveling passengers, the flying hours of each aircraft are increasing, leading to an increase in the frequency of aircraft maintenance. Furthermore, the presence of numerous independent MRO service providers in the country has enabled the airlines to opt for frequent A-checks, B-checks, and C-checks. In addition, the US is home to several aircraft manufacturers, providing various general aviation aircraft. According to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, in 2019, out of ~220,000 civil aircraft registered in the US, 90% were general aviation aircraft. Thus, having such a large fleet of general aviation aircraft will further boost the growth of the general aviation aircraft MRO market in the US.
