Potential For Annual Growth Rate Of Five Percent Through
2016
In 2009, engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), which is
the largest segment in the MRO market, accounted for 40 percent of
MRO activities, worldwide. During 2008 and 2009, the Asia Pacific
engine MRO market experienced rising demand but declined in 2010
due to the effects of the economic downturn. The scenario is likely
to change in the next five years with the market expected to grow
at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5 percent, spurred by
the increase in aircraft deliveries and air traffic.
Air passenger traffic has a direct relationship with fleet
utilization, which in turn results in a greater need for engine
MRO.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Asia Pacific Engine MRO
Market - Revenue Opportunities and Stakeholder Mapping, finds that
the market earned revenues of $4.8 billion in 2009 and estimates
this to reach $6.6 billion in 2016.
"Meanwhile, participants have to strategize to deal with the
high procurement costs of new engines for aircraft such as the A380
and the B787 Dreamliner, which are restraining airlines from
upgrading and maintaining their aircraft engine," observes Frost
& Sullivan Industry Analyst Karen Yap. "Therefore, airlines
acquire replacement parts from the Parts Manufacturer Approval
(PMA), which are lower-priced parts that are manufactured or
designed by companies that are not original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs)."
Despite these challenges, robust growth in the air traffic of
low-cost carriers has created business opportunities in the engine
MRO market.
"New market participants could partner with airlines to set up
engine MRO facilities to leverage their technical and management
expertise, with lower resource and shared costs, to maximise
profits," notes Yap. "Existing market participants could consider
expanding their engine hubs in the region to prevent service
shortage, as air traffic is expected to grow."
