Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Europe Maintenance, Repair, & Overhaul (MRO) Distribution Market


The Europe Maintenance, Repair, & Overhaul (MRO) Distribution market size is projected to reach US$ 225.03 billion by 2026, from US$ 194.04 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 2.5% during 2021-2026. To improve or standardize the quality of equipment and services in various critical operations and to reduce costs in others, most of the industries in Europe have adopted integrated maintenance, repair, and operation service concepts. The trend has witnessed substantial rise in the regional market post-recession period and hence is expected to drive the MRO industry over the forecast period.

Post the recession period, the MRO outsourcing services sector in the region has increased significantly as majority of the companies sought to cut costs on inventory and specialized workforce. Large multinational distributors are focusing on meeting various customer needs in an attempt to provide quality services at affordable prices. On the flip side, the pressure to meet demand on equipment manufacturers along with emphasis on reducing cost has amplified the attractiveness of distributors and lowered the barriers to advanced and new concepts in integrated services.

Pressure on the manufactures to reduce cost and maintaining product quality has substantially increased the attractiveness of MRO services and lowered the barriers for the stand-alone distributors in the region. For example, in February 2019, Aero Norway increased their production capabilities for light and heavy maintenance works to provide quick and efficient services.

The evolution of e-commerce platforms in the recent past, has helped the market players accomplish higher efficiency and offered them easier access to target markets. This is the most significant trend currently in the Europe MRO distribution industry. Hence, distribution via e-commerce platforms is expected to bring significant penetration and growth for the market players to almost every end use industry.

Distributors in Europe still have to overcome some common barriers to increase their profitability. These barriers include excessive reliance on major suppliers, incapability of distributors to fulfill OEM warranties and specifications, resistance to shifting suppliers, and the fear of risk in internal maintenance departments. Hence, these factors are expected to restrain growth of the Europe MRO distribution market in the next five years.
