Staying Ahead of the Curve
Technology and Technician Trends in MRO

Annual spending in the global aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) industry is projected to grow to more than $100 billion by 2025, according to data compiled by statista.com. Engine MRO is the industry leader, with a projected increase to $46.8 billion, while component and line MRO markets are projected to expand to $19.2 billion and $17.8 billion, respectively.

With growth in the global MRO industry comes the challenge of meeting the increasing demand for services despite a looming skilled-labor shortage. Innovative MRO shops are using advances in materials technologies, diagnostics, data storage and retrieval, and inspection and repair processes to more efficiently deliver high-quality services to customers.
