Audience by Region
The MRO market expects significant growth in the coming years. With its size estimated at $ 84 billion in 2022, by 2030 the market is projected to exceed $ 133 billion. One of the most important drivers of growth is work outsourcing, which allows not only to reduce airlines' investments in the development of their own MRO, but also to move a significant part of the work to those regions where, while maintaining the proper level of quality, labor costs remain lower.
This opens up great opportunities for the development of MRO services in the regions of Western and Central Asia, as well as Southern Europe, Africa and the Middle East, although it requires additional investment in equipment and qualified personnel.

Overall the challenges are the same as I think everybody else face…Dr. Axel Schauenburg, Head of Maintenance & Engineering Solution Group, Lufthansa Consulting
