Countries in APAC, especially India, are highly affected due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Also, Japan and Southeast Asian countries are combating against the outbreak, which is a critical factor restraining the growth of the APAC aircraft MRO market. The aircraft maintenance service providers are observing noteworthy downfall in respective businesses, which is directly attributed to the lesser demand for the same among various end users, including airline operators. The outbreak has substantially disrupted the aircraft MRO services in the region, which had a negative impact on the market. The recovery period is expected to be faster than other regions, as several countries are anticipated to gain new airports in the coming years and governments of various countries, including China, are taking various initiatives to reduce the losses from the aviation industry. Several airlines in the region have retired their wide-body jets and narrow-body jets, which were prime customers of aftermarket products and services. This factor is anticipated to inhibit the aircraft MRO market for the next few months. For instance, Qantas retired its Boeing B747 in mid-2020 to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic's financial pressure. Similarly, Singapore Airlines sent a few of the Airbus A380 fleet for long-term storage for a similar reason. Thus, the retirement and long-term storage of wide-body jets is creating tremors in the aircraft MRO market.
Based on end-user, the commercial segment led the APAC aircraft MRO market in 2020. The commercial aviation industry consists of airline companies that offer transportation services for passengers and cargo. Growing air travel and cargo is propelling the demand for new aircraft in the commercial aviation industry. Aircraft manufacturers are focusing on investing in their manufacturing facilities to meet the increasing demand for new aircraft and clear the backlogs. The increasing fleet size across the commercial aviation industry is expected to drive the demand for maintenance and repair services, which would further support the growth of the APAC aircraft MRO market during the forecast period. The commercial aviation sector companies undertake significant initiatives to maintain their aircraft fleet owing to the demand for fuel efficiency and passenger and aircraft safety. Pertaining to this, the number of individual MRO service providers is at a constant rise, and the revenues generated by these MRO service providers are also upsurging. The continuous growth in the number of low-cost carriers is creating lucrative business opportunities for the MRO service providers to offer new customers through attractive service portfolio. Additionally, several commercial airlines are expanding their business lines from aircraft operations to aircraft maintenance. This is also a prominent catalyzer to the APAC aircraft MRO market.
