Europe Aircraft Engine MRO Market Analysis

The Europe Aircraft Engine MRO Market size is estimated at USD 10.63 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 13.14 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.33% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The increasing orders and deliveries of new commercial aircraft due to increasing air traffic passenger numbers are anticipated to increase the demand for engine MRO services in aircraft during the forecast period. According to the latest updates from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), European air passenger traffic in 2023 accounted for 27.1% of the global traffic, while the annual RPKs grew by 20.2%.

Airlines in Europe have one of the oldest aircraft fleets in the world. In addition, several European countries' aging military aircraft fleets are also generating the demand for engine MRO. The replacement of aging aircraft and strict regulations for safety are other factors that fuel the market growth. Moreover, reconfigurations of cabin structures and systems installation offer MRO players market opportunities. In the military sector, several countries in the region are expanding their aircraft fleets, which is anticipated to further boost the growth of the aircraft engine MRO market during the forecast period.

Advanced technologies such as blockchain improve processes in MRO services. In the MRO market, there is enormous potential for blockchain. The adoption of blockchain technology has been low so far; however, soon, this technology will contribute a considerable share to the overall growth of the aircraft MRO market. It will allow companies to record the configuration information of MRO components. This also makes the documentation process effortless across component manufacturers and MRO service providers.

Moreover, the internal efficiency and maintenance of aircraft engines are a concern due to an alarmingly high incidence of recent airplane accidents caused by engine failure. This factor is fuelling the demand for aircraft engine MRO services, aiding the market's growth. However, the suspension of older commercial aircraft fleets is an obstacle to developing the European aircraft engine MRO market.

Europe Aircraft Engine MRO Industry Overview

The Europe aircraft engine MRO market is semi-consolidated with the presence of prominent players such as Safran, Rolls-Royce plc, Lufthansa Technik AG, Pratt & Whitney (RTX Corporation), Honeywell International Inc., and the General Electric Company are some of the prominent players in the market. The primary engine MRO providers are entering into long-term partnerships or forming joint ventures to grow their business presence and customer base. For instance, Lufthansa Technik formed joint ventures with various engine manufacturers, like Rolls-Royce plc, General Electric Company, and MTU Aero Engines AG, to provide engine MRO operations for customers in the European region. For instance, in September 2023, Air France and Airbus launched exclusive negotiations on a 50% Joint Undertaking in Component Maintenance Services to deal more effectively with the increasing longer-term maintenance needs of the Airbus A350. The agreement will provide supply chain management, repair, and the creation of a global pool of aircraft components. This agreement would bring together the expertise of AFI KLM E&M and Airbus. 

Forming partnerships also ensures that certain players maintain specific components with the proper knowledge. Players are focusing on utilizing advanced technologies like automation and artificial intelligence in their maintenance units, which help them increase productivity while reducing their maintenance costs, thereby boosting their profits in the long run. As per Statista, over 30 % of the aircraft engine servicing, repair, and overhaul MRO market from 2020 to 2029 is expected to be covered by General Electric Aviation. During the same period, CFM International will most likely supply 28 % of the MRO market for commercial aircraft.
