Commercial Aircraft Aftermarket Parts Market Report

Market Overview:

The global commercial aircraft aftermarket parts market size reached US$ 42.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 69.5 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% during 2024-2032. The bolstering growth of the aviation industry, the rising demand for proper maintenance, upgrade, and repair of commercial aircraft, and the implementation of stringent regulations regarding aircraft maintenance represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Commercial aircraft aftermarket parts are components and systems used in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of commercial aircraft after they have been delivered from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). These parts are used to replace worn and damaged parts or upgrade existing systems to improve aircraft performance or meet new regulatory requirements, ensuring that the aircraft remain safe, reliable, and efficient. Some of the standard commercial aircraft aftermarket parts include engines, avionics, landing gear, electrical systems, and interior components. They can be sourced from various suppliers, including third-party manufacturers and distributors. Aftermarket parts are usually more economical than OEM parts and help lower maintenance costs. Apart from this, their vast and easy availability reduces aircraft downtime and improves operational efficiency.

Commercial Aircraft Aftermarket Parts Market Trends:

One of the primary factors driving the market growth is the increasing air traffic and demand for air travel, which, in turn, is fueling the need for aftermarket parts to support the maintenance, repair, and upgrade of existing aircraft fleets. Besides this, the emerging trends of aircraft leasing and exchange programs, as well as the implementation of stringent regulations for aircraft maintenance, are strengthening the expanding market. Moreover, the increase in retirements and the aging of the global aircraft fleet is further impelling the need for consistent maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities to improve longevity and address safety concerns, thus creating a favorable outlook for the market. Concurrent with this, the rising product demand to support the expanding fleets of low-cost carriers and ensure enhanced safety and efficiency is presenting remunerative growth opportunities for the market. In addition to this, the shifting preference for outsourcing aircraft maintenance services and the extensive focus on cost reduction among airlines is catalyzing the demand for aftermarket parts that offer better value for money than OEM parts. This, in confluence with the surge in the use of e-commerce channels for procuring aftermarket aviation parts, is acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, ongoing technological advancements in the industry are generating an increasing demand for aftermarket parts that support new technologies and capabilities, which, in turn, is propelling the market growth.
