DRIVING FACTORS

Increased Post-Pandemic Travel Leading to Growing Fleet Operations to Propel Market Growth

Based on data from IATA, air tonnage is rising at a higher rate and is anticipated to maintain its growth in the forecast period. The increasing number of people ordering merchandise via online platforms from overseas and the booming e-commerce industry must strengthen freight services. As most e-commerce conglomerates are pushing for one or two-day guaranteed deliveries, they employ increasing shipping services to meet their promises. Hence, the growing freight tonnage through passenger airlines is boding well for the ground and cargo handling services market. Furthermore, an ease of restrictions in travel followed by a subsequent decrease in the number of COVID patients is expected to boost market share growth in the long term.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Time Taken for the R&D for the Aviation MRO Software Market Expected to Hinder Market Growth

The research and development for the aviation MRO market is time and cost taking. Embedding emerging technologies in the complex system of MRO software is a huge task due to its complexity. The complexity grows with the addition of AI and Machine Learning (ML). Since combining these emerging technologies takes a lot of cost and time, it is likely to hinder regular operations and aviation MRO market growth.
