Market Share of NATO Military Aircraft Modernization And Retrofit Industry
The NATO military aircraft modernization and retrofit market is semi-consolidated, with major players like Lockheed Martin Corporation, Leonardo S.p.A, BAE Systems plc, The Boeing Company, and Airbus SE dominating the market. The stringent safety and regulatory policies in the defense segment are expected to restrict the entry of new players. However, a trend of strategic collaboration has been observed in the market, wherein the market players enter into a mutual partnership to develop advanced aircraft and associated subsystems according to the specifications of the end-users. New players find it time-consuming to establish themselves in the market due to the long-term nature of most modernization contracts and existing competition.
The key trend during the forecast period will be the widespread adoption of AI-based predictive maintenance technologies. To facilitate this transition, MRO operators must invest in bolstering their IT capabilities. This enhancement will cover areas such as maintenance execution, supply chain management, mobility improvements, and the adoption of e-signatures. MROs leverage advanced data analytics for inventory optimization, ensuring timely planning and stocking spares while minimizing procurement costs. Such tools boost operational efficiency and profitability for operators and play a pivotal role in the digitization of military aircraft modernization operations.
