Aviation MRO software facilitates predictive maintenance analysis and condition-based maintenance support as software-as-a-service to the end-users such as airline operators, MROs, and OEMs. It comprises a huge database and management modules for maintenance, operations, business, and electronic flightbag & logbook, which can be deployed on premise or provided through a cloud-based platform.


The aviation industry has become more data-driven and connected to ground-based MRO systems for predictive maintenance. It includes tracking and efficient operations based on data collected by software via aviation analytics digital twin technologies. Aviation Digital Twin facilitates the end-users to conduct various MRO functions using virtual aircraft models for predictive maintenance tracking and other MRO applications. With the utility of Internet of Things (IoT) location and sensor-recorded data, the end-users can subject the digital aircraft twin to environment and different weather conditions for predictive maintenance tracking and aviation analytics. The advent of aviation analytics and digital twin technologies is driving the aviation MRO software market growth during the forecast period.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Financial Influence of COVID-19 on Aviation MRO Industry is Impeding Market Growth


The COVID-19 pandemic affected over 1 million people across the globe. Stringent lockdowns and travel bans were declared across the world. The global COVID-19 pandemic has swayed the market in 2020 and 2021.



  • Due to lockdown, there was a huge impact on the aviation industry, resulting in a slowdown in aircraft production, thus impacting aircraft deliveries. According to Airbus SAS, by the end of October 2020, Airbus SAS delivered 341 aircraft compared to 571 aircraft in 2019. Thus, the pandemic has impacted around 40% of aircraft deliveries across the globe. The reduction in aircraft deliveries has drastically reduced MRO services and software demand.

  • Moreover, according to analysis, more than 16,000 commercial aircraft are grounded or parked due to less passenger travel due to pandemics. Thus, due to grounded aircraft, the demand for maintenance has drastically reduced and adversely impacted the demand for the software and services domain.

Rising Adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) by MROs is the Latest Trend in the Market


The aviation sector is witnessing huge transformation, owing to the emergence of AI, Machine Learning, IoT, and AR. Machine learning generates algorithms from existing data. It can anticipate future outcomes based on new data. Adoption of machine learning in MRO software will reduce supply chain risk, detect risk areas in a project, and many other advantages. Artificial intelligence with its voice interface is expected to allow simple operations, increased efficiency, increased staff productivity, and reduced need for training.


Integrating IoT in the MRO software will help deal with the huge amount of data. The entire value chain can be connected using IoT, enabling more efficient, faster, and more reliable processes from production to supply chain operations. The MRO sector uses augmented reality for faster training. The AR enables skilled engineers to provide support remotely, saving time and cost for the operations. Thus, AR, AI, and IoT adoption is expected to create tremendous opportunities for the market growth in the coming years.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increase in Demand for Advanced MRO due to Aircraft Fleet Expansion to Boost Market Growth


Airlines across the globe are focused on expanding their aircraft fleet size, owing to the rising air passenger traffic. The market's growth in the upcoming decade can be attributed to the rising number of aircraft fleets. The MRO sector is expected to witness steady growth through the next decade due to increasing demand for air travel and a growing aircraft fleet. In 2020, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) stated that the market will grow to USD 118 billion by 2027. Strong growth in the sector is expected to augment the growth of the MRO software market.


The aviation MRO software cost accounts for roughly one-fifth of the airline operational cost. Going by the ever-growing passenger-growth trend, we may witness the market growth, with engines attracting the bulk of the maintenance prices. Considering maintenance, categorization, airframe, component, and line maintenance may share the major chunk of operator cost bifurcation. With aircraft maintenance a priority, air operators now have choices among aircraft OEMs, independent MROs, and components.


The growing demand for smooth paperless operations perform maintenance operations with less turnaround time (TAT) and predictive maintenance is leading various aircraft operators to adopt aviation MRO software solutions.


Increase in MRO Spending due to Aircraft Fleet Expansion to Boost Market Growth


The major aircraft manufacturers, such as Airbus and the Boeing Company, are focused on developing next-generation aircraft having capabilities such as low fuel requirement, low emission, low operating cost, and others.


The growing demand for air travel leads to increased flight hours for aircraft. The life cycle of various aircraft components, such as engine, landing gear, brakes, wheels, and others, decreases due to increased flight hours. Hence, the airlines and operators focus on regular aircraft checkups, preventive checkups, servicing, and regular aircraft health updates. The increase in demand for the adoption of aviation MRO software to increase the efficiency of operations by collecting data generated by aircraft is expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Cost Involved in the Research and Development of Software and Hardware


MRO software has to meet the needs of most communication & surveillance applications, electronic transmission, and others. With increasing technological development in software and equipment, the software needs to be developed for compatibility with the platform. However, high costs are involved in the R&D of the respected technology due to complexity of the design and development of the module. The development and integration of systems across the platforms and the maintenance of these systems are costly. Hence, the market growth is anticipated to be negatively affected due to these factors.
