세계의 항공기 라인 정비 시장 : 서비스 유형별, 기술별, 항공기 유형별, 지역별 - 기회 및 예측(2018-2032년)

Global aircraft line maintenance market is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.86% during the forecast period 2025-2032, growing from USD 25.41 billion in 2024 to USD 37.14 billion in 2032. Air traffic growth, fleet modernization and regulations requiring more frequent inspections and servicing have been the major drivers for the aircraft line maintenance market expansion. Airlines are also increasingly utilizing predictive maintenance concepts, and diagnostics using AI, to improve operational availability while minimizing aircraft downtime. The demand for maintenance services from third parties continues to expand with several airlines utilizing third-party MRO service providers to mitigate aircraft maintenance costs. The market is also impacted by market trends regarding fuel-efficient aircraft, new MRO technologies, and the fast-developing new regions (e.g. APAC, Middle East) where aviation growth is outpacing the market.

For instance, in May 2025, Asia Digital Engineering (ADE) secured EASA and FAA certifications, reinforcing its position as a leading aircraft line maintenance provider. These approvals validate ADE's commitment to global safety and operational excellence. The recognition strengthens Malaysia's role as a rising hub for high-quality aviation maintenance.

Increased Air Traffic Drives the Aircraft Line Maintenance Market Growth

The growth of air travel globally is driving growth in total aircraft line maintenance services as more frequent inspections, repairs, and predictive maintenance are required to support safe and efficient operations. The introduction of AI-based diagnostics and digital tracking systems is being invested in by airlines to optimize maintenance schedules, thereby allowing more efficient operations by minimizing ground time. The rise in low-cost carriers coupled with older fleets needing to be modernized has created new demand for MRO providers and outsourced maintenance services. Continuing to grow, the aviation industry is only beginning to implement advanced maintenance systems and technologies while regulatory guidelines ensure the safety of compliant and sustainable operations for aircraft.

For instance, in June 2025, Pinnacle Aviation Pty Ltd expands its maintenance services with the acquisition of Aviation One Maintenance and Modification, rebranding it as Pinnacle Aviation Maintenance. The move enhances AOG support and retail maintenance across the Southwest U.S. To support growth.

Technological Advancements Fuel the Aircraft Line Maintenance Market Growth

The aircraft line maintenance market is changing. Technology is improving efficiency, safety and predictive maintenance capabilities. AI-based diagnostics, digital tracking technologies and automated inspection tools are streamlining maintenance and reducing downtime. Airlines are leveraging predictive analytics and IoT-based monitoring to identify potential and reportable issues before they become a serious problem, maximizing reliability while managing costs. Recent advances we are seeing in the employment of augmented reality (AR) for technician training and remote maintenance support services are helping streamline workflows. Smart maintenance priorities help drive market growth as aviation technology changes and matures while helping maintain reliable operations and sustainability.

For instance, in August 2024, Air India Limited and Tata SIA Airlines Limited (Vistara) secured DGCA approval to merge their aircraft line maintenance operations, boosting efficiency and resource optimization. This integration, driven by technological advancements, strengthens the airlines' technical capabilities and fuels growth in the aircraft line maintenance market.

Dominance of Commercial Aircraft in Market Growth of Aircraft Line Maintenance

The commercial aircraft segment holds a significant share of the aircraft line maintenance market as the increase in global air traffic; fleet growth and regulatory oversight continue to meet demand. Therefore, airlines are making investments in predictive maintenance, AI-based diagnostic tracking solutions, and digital tracking systems to improve operational efficiency and reduce time. Outsourcing line maintenance is becoming more common too. Third-party line maintenance allows airlines to have reliable cost-effective effective solutions for routine inspections and repair offerings. There continues to be an increasing demand for next-gen aircraft, sustainable maintenance, and advancing aviation technology that support the expansion of the aircraft line maintenance market dependent on commercial aviation.

For instance, in May 2025, ATS Technic LLC signed a new line-maintenance agreement with Ethiopian Airlines, expanding services in Jordan and the UAE. Commercial aircraft dominate the global line maintenance market, driven by rising air traffic and stringent safety regulations.

Europe Dominates the Aircraft Line maintenance Market

Europe is the leading region for aircraft line maintenance, primarily due to a strong aviation infrastructure and consistent fleet modernization with the airlines being compliant with various FAA and EASA regulations. Europe will continue to dominate the maintenance sector through the continued development of advanced MRO facilities, as well as skilled workforce and strategic airline partnerships creating an effective and efficient maintenance operation. With airlines strengthening their market position with the arrear traffic and environmental initiatives, including predictive maintenance and AI-driven diagnostics, to improve operational reliability, Europe also continues to develop and influence the future of line maintenance services for overall aircraft maintenance. In turn, Europe continues its overall global leadership and capability in the variety of aircraft maintenance solution development.

For instance, in April 2025, Embraer SA designated LOTAMS as Europe's first Embraer Authorized Service Center (EASC) for E2 aircraft, strengthening their decade-long MRO partnership. LOTAMS will provide routine checks, maintenance, and component repairs across Europe. The collaboration reinforces LOTAMS' role in servicing leading airlines.

Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Global Aircraft Line Maintenance

Increased Maintenance Costs: Tariffs on imported parts will force MRO providers to pay more.

Supply Chain Disruptions: No access to vital aircraft pieces and parts leads to delays in maintenance operations.

Investment Uncertainty: Airlines and MRO's (Maintenance, Repairs, Operations) need to reevaluate their long-term strategic plans as they relate to fluctuating trade policies.

Market Competitiveness: Companies in the U.S. need to be cognizant of the added issues associated with finding efficient maintenance plans worldwide.

Key Players Landscape and Outlook

The aircraft line maintenance market profiles developments by large entities with a middleware focus on advanced maintenance practices, predictive diagnostics, and operational efficiencies. Major players invest heavily in artificial intelligence predictive analytics, use of digital tracking, and automated inspections to provide reliability and limit downtime. The market outlook will remain buoyant with elements like rising air traffic, fleet modernization and more regulations for high-quality maintenance systems, spurring a wave of innovation in areas like sustainable maintenance practices, remote diagnostics, and real-time monitoring, all of which are shaping trends in the industry to support efficient and cost-effective era aircraft operations.

For instance, in March 2025, Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (HAECO) partnered with Mediterranean Shipping Company SA (MSC) Air Cargo to provide line maintenance services at Hong Kong International Airport. MSC Air operates six weekly flights from Hong Kong, carrying various commodities. The agreement strengthens MSC Air's operational reliability and expands its cargo network.
