Defense Equipment MRO Services Market to Reach USD 120 Billion by 2035 as Global Defense Sustainment Demand Grows

Market Overview and Key Drivers

The global Defense Equipment MRO Services Market is entering a sustained growth phase as armed forces worldwide focus on readiness, reliability, and cost efficiency. The market is expected to expand from USD 65 billion in 2024 to approximately USD 110 billion by 2035, registering a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%.

Defense MRO services encompass the maintenance, repair, overhaul, and upgrade of military aircraft, naval vessels, ground vehicles, weapons systems, and electronic components. Rather than replacing high-cost platforms, defense agencies are increasingly investing in lifecycle management strategies, making MRO services essential for maintaining combat readiness and extending asset longevity.

One of the primary drivers is the aging global defense fleet. Many countries continue to operate aircraft, armored vehicles, and naval systems that are decades old. Regular maintenance, structural refurbishment, and system upgrades ensure these platforms remain mission-capable while reducing capital expenditure on new procurement.

Additionally, geopolitical tensions and evolving threat environments have increased the operational tempo of military forces, resulting in higher wear and tear on defense equipment. This directly boosts demand for rapid, reliable, and technologically advanced MRO services across air, land, and sea domains.

Technology Integration and Digital MRO Transformation

Digitalization is reshaping the defense MRO landscape. Advanced technologies such as predictive maintenance, digital twins, AI-driven diagnostics, and condition-based monitoring are being increasingly integrated into MRO operations. These technologies help defense organizations reduce downtime, forecast component failures, and optimize maintenance schedules.

In the aerospace segment, aircraft MRO remains the largest revenue contributor, driven by the complexity and high operational costs of military aviation platforms. Engine overhaul, avionics upgrades, and structural repairs are critical to maintaining fleet readiness. Meanwhile, naval MRO services are gaining traction due to increased investments in submarine fleets, destroyers, and aircraft carriers.

Regional Insights and Market Segments

From a regional perspective, North America dominates the Defense Equipment MRO Services Market, supported by the presence of advanced defense infrastructure, large military fleets, and consistent defense spending by the United States. The region also benefits from strong collaboration between defense ministries and private MRO service providers.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. Countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea are expanding and modernizing their military capabilities, leading to higher demand for aircraft, naval, and land system MRO services. Indigenous defense manufacturing programs further accelerate the need for localized MRO ecosystems.

Europe maintains steady growth, driven by NATO modernization initiatives, fleet upgrades, and increasing focus on defense readiness amid regional security challenges.
