Robotics to Gain Significant Traction Across the Military Aircraft Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) Sector
As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, the military aircraft maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) industry is anticipated to meet a new reality in the years to come and will gradually begin to recover. Companies will need to adjust to the current low volumes as well as the rapid increase that is expected in the future in order to be successful in the second half of the forecast period. In addition, companies will need to address the loss of skilled labour as well as personnel management. MRO companies can become more attractive partners for defence organizations that are looking to control costs by reducing repair times, meeting tighter tolerances for the repair of engines from the latest generation, and increasing the pace of repairs using robotic systems, which can help MRO companies increase the pace of repairs more quickly.

Robotics is on the rise among MROs across the globe. The implication of robotics in MRO sector is projected to improve efficiency and aid labour with routine/precision-oriented activities. The labour cost is rising at exponential rates across the developed economies, and with the introduction of robotics in MRO, it will not only cut down the labour expense but also improve the efficiency to a great extent. This is anticipated to offer lucrative growth prospects for the market players involved in the military aircraft maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) industry growth over the forecast period.

How has COVID-19 had a Significant Impact on the Military Aircraft Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) Market?
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) business across the globe”. Some of the major impacts include:
• Reduced demand: The pandemic has led to a reduction in demand for MRO services as a result of changes in defence budgets and economic downturn.
• Supply chain disruptions: The pandemic has caused disruptions to the supply chain, making it tough for MRO companies to acquire the parts and materials required to perform repairs and maintenance activities.
• Reduced investment: Companies may be reluctant to invest in new equipment and technologies due to the economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic, which can impact the MRO companies.
• Virtual Maintenance: MRO companies have been forced to adapt to the new situation by providing virtual maintenance services and remote troubleshooting, which can be less efficient and more costly than on-site maintenance.
• Prioritizing Health: MRO companies are prioritizing the health and safety of their employees and customers, which can lead to increased costs and reduced productivity.

Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant challenges for the MRO industry, but companies are adapting to the new situation by finding new ways to provide services and support to their customers.
