Military MRO Demand's Continued Growth | 拡大を続ける軍用機のMRO需要

世界の軍用機マーケットの動向は調達判断に焦点が当てられることが多いが、一般的に航空機のライフサイクルコストはその3分の2が調達後に発生するといわれている。燃料費や人件費といった運用コスト、近代化改修や延命工事などを除いたMRO(整備・修理・オーバーホール)単体で見ても、軍用機ビジネスの中核をなしている。

今後10年間だけで世界の軍用機MRO需要は1.12兆ドルに達し、年間需要も2021年の1,060億ドルから2030年の1,200億ドルに拡大するとAviation Week Networkでは予想している。

 

冷戦終結後、軍用機の配備数は減少傾向にあるが、現代のプラットフォームの性能向上や技術の高度化による作業コストの増加により、MRO需要は拡大している。

While the spotlight in global military aircraft markets tends to fall on procurement decisions, it is generally recognized that at least two thirds of an aircraft’s through-life costs come after the acquisition phase. Even without accounting for operating costs such as fuel and personnel, and excluding mid-life upgrades and service life extensions, the revenues generated from maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities alone represent a core component of the military aerospace business.

Over the next decade alone, Aviation Week Network expects military aircraft to generate $1.123 trillion in MRO demand, with annual demand increasing from $106 billion in 2021 to $120 billion in 2030.

 

With military aircraft fleet sizes generally on a downward trajectory since the end of the Cold War, much of the growth in MRO revenue comes from the increased costs associated with enhanced performance and the greater technological sophistication of modern-day platforms.
