The digital aerospace mro market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the past few years, the digital aerospace MRO market has seen a remarkable increase in size, escalating from a valuation of $0.89 billion in 2024 to an expected worth of $1.02 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%.
This significant development during the historical phase can be credited to factors such as the surge in air traffic, the expansion of travel and tourism sector, population advancement, elevated levels of disposable income, and the progressive expansion of the aviation industry.
The digital aerospace mro market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The digital aerospace MRO market is predicted to experience significant expansion in the upcoming years. It's projected to increase to $1.72 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%.
The surge during the forecast period can be associated with the rise in market demand, fuel-efficient airframe designs, eco-friendly aviation materials, the entry of new competitors, and the escalating requirement for commercial air travel. Key trends during this forecast period encompass the growing employment of data analytics and preventative maintenance tools, the advancement of digital twin technology, IoT incorporation, the application of blockchain technology, and the utilization of 3D printing.
The surge in the number of passengers in flight and the necessity for additional aircrafts requiring limited servicing time is projected to fuel the expansion of the digital aerospace MRO market in the forecast period. As global air traffic has grown over time, so has the demand for more aircraft that spend less time off service. MRO facilities, defined as any establishment, workshop, or hangar that undertakes and carries out professional airplane maintenance, contribute to ensuring aircraft operate safely and reliably by utilizing aviation ground support equipment. For example, data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a worldwide airline trade organization, revealed that total global air passengers in 2021 were 47% of 2019 figures, rising to 83% in 2022, 94% in 2023, 103% in 2024 and 111% in 2025. Consequently, the rise in in-flight passengers and the demand for more planes with less time in maintenance is predicted to drive the digital aerospace MRO market's growth in the future.
