The aircraft landing gear MRO market was valued at approximately US$ 4,343.97 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow to US$ 5,392.01 million by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7% from 2022 to 2030.

As competition intensifies globally, the adoption of digital technologies has become essential for the advancement of MRO companies. This transition facilitates a continuous flow of data across various levels of the supply chain, enhancing communication among stakeholders and fostering innovation in operations. The digital transformation within the aviation sector profoundly influences all aspects of the supply chain, including aircraft operations, air traffic management, and the manufacturing and servicing of aircraft and components. Technologies driven by data, such as analytics, are expected to optimize real-time tracking of aircraft MRO activities, thereby improving the travel experience for both crew and passengers. Furthermore, advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning empower airline crews and management to assess the airworthiness of aircraft effectively. For example, in March 2020, the US Air Force's Air Education and Training Command (AETC) initiated the development of a new competency-based virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) training solution aimed at enhancing aircraft maintenance training.

Additionally, MRO service providers are integrating AI technologies to enhance their operations, enabling them to perform visual inspections more efficiently and accurately determine the maintenance and repair needs of aircraft. Consequently, the growing incorporation of digital technologies, including AI and machine learning, is propelling the growth of the aircraft landing gear MRO market.

The global aircraft landing gear MRO market is categorized based on type, aircraft type, and end user. In terms of type, the market is divided into main landing gear and nose landing gear. By aircraft type, it is segmented into fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. Furthermore, based on end users, the market is classified into commercial and military sectors. The analysis of the global aircraft landing gear MRO market also encompasses five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.

The United States stands out as a leader in the global aviation industry, characterized by a substantial number of passengers, a large aircraft fleet, and significant investments in sector development. However, the US aircraft MRO market has faced sluggish growth in recent years, primarily due to rising labor costs, which have led to the outsourcing of many heavy maintenance checks. The high volume of air travel in the country results in increased flying hours for each aircraft, necessitating more frequent maintenance. The presence of numerous independent MRO service providers allows airlines to conduct regular A-checks, B-checks, and C-checks, thereby stimulating the growth of the aircraft landing gear MRO market in the US. Moreover, the US Department of Defense (DoD) is actively engaged in acquiring new aircraft, although the existing fleet remains significantly larger than that of other nations. For instance, in January 2023, SupplyCore secured a US$ 375 million contract from the Defense Logistics Agency for the maintenance, repair, and operation of US military facilities. The substantial defense budget and expenditures from the US DoD enable frequent MRO activities for the aircraft fleet, ensuring that forces remain mission-ready. Thus, the ongoing investment by the US DoD is a critical factor in the growth of the aircraft landing gear MRO market.

Key players in the aircraft landing gear MRO market include Safran, AAR Corp, Magellan Aerospace Corporation, Circor International Inc, Triumph Group Inc, Lufthansa Technik, ST Engineering, Meggitt Plc, Liebherr-International Deutschland GmbH, and Honeywell International Inc, all of which are highlighted in the market report.

The overall size of the aircraft landing gear MRO market has been determined through a combination of primary and secondary research methods. Extensive secondary research has been conducted using both internal and external sources to gather qualitative and quantitative data regarding the aircraft landing gear MRO market size. This approach also aids in providing an overview and forecast of the market across all segments.
