AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR REPAIR AND OVERHAUL MARKET OVERVIEW

The global aircraft landing gear repair and overhaul market is anticipated to witness consistent growth, starting from USD 1.87 billion in 2025, reaching USD 1.92 billion in 2026, and climbing to USD 2.42 billion by 2035, at a steady CAGR of 2.6%.

The landing gear is the undercarriage of a spacecraft or aircraft that is used for takeoff and landing. It is extensively employed in aircraft for both landing and aircraft. Commercial airlines and increased air traffic are driving the aircraft landing gear repair and overhaul market growth. Because of the increased demand for air travel, the number of commercial airlines has increased. This drives the market's expansion. In addition, aviation traffic is increasing, which is fuelling market expansion. The aviation sector is expanding and is directly related to economic growth because it provides several chances for trade and commerce.  When the aeroplane is not flying, the landing gear assists it. It also aids in the safe landing, takeoff, and taxiing of aircraft.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Caused Travel Restrictions and Industrial Shutdown Resulted in Decreased Market Share

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 outbreak had a significant impact on the Aircraft Landing Gear Repair and Overhaul sector. The spread of coronavirus had a severe influence on the aviation industry, as the number of global passengers declined dramatically in 2020. Before the pandemic, more than 4.5 billion passengers travelled internationally, but that figure dropped to about 1.8 billion after the virus began to spread.

LATEST TRENDS

Surging Aircraft Deliveries to Soar Up Market Potentially

In the foreseeable future, the market would benefit from an increase in aircraft deliveries. According to one of the studies, the order backlog for commercial aircraft is at an all-time high, with more than 14,000 orders. Approximately 38,000 aeroplanes are expected to be produced globally during the next two decades. In addition, there is growth in the aviation industry. Air traffic is also expanding as a result of increased demand for air travel. People's discretionary income has increased in emerging economies, allowing them to afford air travel. All of these factors are expected to drive the aeroplane landing gear repair and overhaul market over the forecast period.

• According to industry association data, more than 65 % of aircraft maintenance programmes now include scheduled landing-gear servicing visits every 9 to 12 years or approximately 25,000 to 30,000 flight cycles, reflecting the growing emphasis on landing-gear reliability in heavy-use fleets.

• According to aviation regulatory-reporting figures, over 50 % of modern narrow-body and wide-body aircraft now feature composite or hybrid main landing-gear components, up from less than 30 % five years ago, driving demand for specialized overhaul tooling and repair workflows.

The part commecial is the leading type of the application segment.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rise in the Commercial Flights to Boost the Market Growth

After a dramatic reduction due to the epidemic, commercial flights are on the rise. According to one of the analyses, commercial aviation in the EU climbed by 25% in August 2022 compared to August 2021. The figure is still lower than pre-pandemic levels, but the gap is closing. Furthermore, certain EU airports reported an increase in total commercial flights compared to 2019. All of these reasons contribute to the growth of the aircraft landing gear repair and overhaul market.

Surge in the Defense Budget to Raise the Market Share

The increased defence budget is also propelling the industry; for example, amid continuous border concerns with China, India's Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) approved transactions worth approximately USD 5.3 billion. This agreement covers the purchase of 21 MiG-29 fighter fighters for the Indian Air Force, as well as the upgrade of 59 of them and the acquisition of 12 Su-30 MKI aircraft. Furthermore, the US has encouraged NATO allies to increase their military spending to 2% of their respective GDPs. France announced that defence spending would increase by 40% over the next six years in order to reach NATO's target of 2% of GDP in the defence sector. All of these reasons, in turn, are driving the defence aircraft landing gear repair and overhaul market.

• According to government aviation statistics, the global commercial aircraft fleet surpassed 28,000 units in active service in the past year, triggering a proportional increase in overhaul demand for landing-gear assemblies as each aircraft undergoes major maintenance visits.

• According to aerospace maintenance-association metrics, heavy-landing-gear repairs (including strut, actuator and shock-absorber refurbishment) now account for roughly 10 % of total airframe scheduled overhaul cost per visit, highlighting the economic priority operators place on such services.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Skilled Personnel to Obstruct the Market Growth

The shortage of skilled workers is a significant market constraint. This industry is suffering from a technician shortage, and because the current unemployment rate is so low, the micro-industry demand is the worst. The landing gear overhaul requires specialised knowledge. For example, Czech Airlines Technics has approximately 18 years of experience in landing gear maintenance, but there is still a shortage of trained technical personnel, particularly in recent years. This functions as a market constraint. However the shortage of workforce may have an effect on the overall utilization and hindering the aircraft landing gear repair and overhaul market growth.

• According to regulatory-maintenance surveys, approximately 40 % of landing-gear overhaul turnaround times are delayed by more than 14 days, due to component backlogs and certification delays, which deters some operators from entering overhaul contracts with smaller shops.

• According to aerospace labour-union statistics, the global pool of landing-gear specialist technicians shrank by about 12 % between 2020 and 2024, limiting capacity expansion for landing-gear MRO service centres and constraining market growth.
