Digital MRO Market: Segments

Artificial Intelligence segment to grow with the highest CAGR of XX.X% during 2019-30

Digital MRO Market is segmented by technology as Predictive Maintenance, AR/VR, 3D Printing, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Big Data Analytics, Digital Twin, and IoT. The greater market share of USD 586 million in 2018 was accounted for by the predictive maintenance segment of the Digital MRO market owing to the easy adoption of predictive maintenance tools into various indigenous and non-indigenous operating systems. Various industry participants and IT industries are integrating predictive maintenance tools with their overall software suite/offering, positively catering to the segment. Moreover, the artificial intelligence segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period owing to the growing adoption of artificial intelligence due to the increase in demand for predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, and analysis of the previous failures. AI helps in optimization, maintenance, and planning by minimizing the requirement for routine maintenance, thereby increasing the investment by numerous airlines. AI can facilitate the maintenance process by using data shared and predict potential errors.

Parts replacement Segment to grow with the highest CAGR of XX.X% during 2019-30

Digital MRO Market is segmented by Application into Inspection, Performance Monitoring, Predictive Analysis, Part Replacement, Mobility & Functionality. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for predictive maintenance, part failure analysis, and troubleshooting. IBM has been developing AI-based software for increasing agility in the workflow. Moreover, the growth of the parts replacement segment can be attributed to the adoption of 3D printing technology as it helps reduce aircraft weight, lower replacement costs, and offers customization. Furthermore, the high costs associated with new aircraft are expected to drive the growth of the segment.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing digitalization activities among MROs

The convergence of artificial intelligence and technological developments and the Internet of Things with current operations speeds up processes and dramatically decreases the time and costs of operations. The need of the hour in the aviation industry is more production within a short timeframe. In order to build & incorporate digital MRO, major industry players operating in the MRO market are initiating joint ventures and partnerships with several universities and research organizations.

Increasing collaborations between the various industry players

The demand for continuous aircraft inspection and regular in-line maintenance has been induced by strict government regulations on airworthiness during operations. Several solutions for continuous aircraft maintenance are being offered by industry players, with a positive effect on the digital MRO market. The increasing demand for new aircraft, led by the rise in passenger air traffic, has contributed significantly to the expansion of the MRO digital industry. Due to the involvement of many players, high market competition is pushing service providers to concentrate on providing enhanced and personalized services. In addition, rising partnerships between the various players in the industry are expected to drive the growth of the market.

Restraint

High cost of MRO software suites

Airlines and MROs are focused on growth investments in the procurement of MRO software for advanced aviation. Before making procurement decisions, however, a proper understanding of core MRO functionalities is needed. Feasibility analysis, which takes several months, is required to introduce aviation MRO software. Many tiers 2 and tier 3 MROs have small implementation technology budgets that serve as a barrier to the adoption of MRO aviation applications. The MRO industry is capital-intensive, with much of the funds allocated for essential infrastructure repair, organizational maintenance, and professional human resources recruitment. Furthermore, failure of software due to negligence may cause huge losses for MROs.
