Report Feature
The aerospace MRO market for composite components is a developing market primarily driven by increasing acceptance of composites in aerostructures, especially in primary aerostructures such as fuselage, wing structure, and empennage. The increasing fleet of newly acquired aircrafts across the globe and greater penetration of composites in aircrafts such as the Airbus A350, Airbus A380, and Boeing B787 is expected to further aid the market and the aerospace MRO market for composite components is expected to reach $3,041 million by 2016.
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm with over 1,000 clients worldwide, has analyzed the global aerospace MRO market and has now published a comprehensive research report entitled “Global Opportunities for Composites in Aerospace MRO Market 2011-2016: Trends, Forecast and Opportunity Analysis”.
The MRO sector in the aerospace is a highly technology driven market, with both in-house and increasingly outsourced services delivery. It is characterized by materials and components, and a highly skilled labor force that performs MRO activities with reduced turnaround time.
According to the study, opportunities for composites in aerospace MRO can be visualized in three segments such as primary aerostructures, secondary aerostructures and engine components. The use of composite materials is continuously increasing in aerostructures and other components and this indicates that MRO Market is expected to have a significant opportunity in the future. The escalating competition in industry is anticipated to drive airlines especially the low-cost carriers (LCC) to depend heavily on third-party MRO service providers in order to efficiently reduce their overall costs.
