Airbus Is Expected To Dominate The European MRO Market Through 2034
Airbus A320s and A321neos will account for considerable MRO demand in Europe over the next decade.
Commercial MRO demand for the European region is projected to surpass $343 billion through 2034 with more than 62,000 MRO events, including over $74 billion in line maintenance requirements, according to the 2025 edition of the Aviation Week Network’s Commercial Aviation Fleet & MRO Forecast.
The forecast projects how the world’s aircraft fleet and aftermarket will evolve over the next 10 years. The commercial aircraft fleet is expected to grow to 10,300 aircraft in 2034 from just over 8,000 in 2025. This will translate to an increase in MRO demand. Required MRO work for commercial aircraft is expected to have a compound annual growth rate of 3.2%.
The forecast projects that Europe’s MRO market will be dominated by Airbus aircraft, which account for a 49% share. Boeing aircraft are expected to claim the next highest share at 45%. The aircraft expected to require the largest amount of MRO are the Boeing 737-800, followed by the Airbus A320 and A321neo.
