Used Serviceable Material (USM) Market Trends

• Increased use of USM during aircraft repair and maintenance is driving the market growth

As the cost of running the aircraft is already rising due to the rise in fuel prices, replacing damaged parts with new ones will incur significant costs. Because it provides reconditioned, extremely reliable parts at a cheaper price, the used serviceable material (USM) business has thus begun to grow. For instance, AAR Corporation and Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors announced a deal focusing on the modular repair and refurbishment of CFM56-7B and CFM56-5B engines in 2020. Additionally, for the distribution of USM in 2021, Next Level Aviation has teamed up with the producer of aviation engines, Pratt & Whitney CSA. Boeing also added the used serviceable material business sector to its service portfolio in 2019. As a result, the market CAGR for used serviceable material (USM) is expected to grow due to the increased use of USM during aircraft repair and maintenance.

The demand for commercial aircraft operating in the world's airspace is extremely high. This forces the military and aviation industries to maintain fleets equipped with the most advanced technology and reliable components. The aviation sector is currently characterized by a major trend involving refurbishing existing commercial aircraft. Over the forecast period, the trend is anticipated to pick up steam, creating a wealth of potential for MRO and suppliers of aviation components. Among other things, airplanes are being updated with new engines, landing gears, radars, and antennas. The USM suppliers guarantee the availability of key aviation components at lower costs and improved dependability, raising interest among aircraft manufacturers. As a result, these programs increase demand for air transportation USM because there are low-cost alternatives on the market. Additionally, various aviation sector stakeholders have entered the USM market for air travel. Aircraft OEMs, component suppliers, and MOs have all entered the industry, fostering its expansion. Thus, driving the used serviceable material (USM) market revenue.

Used Serviceable Material (USM) Market Segment Insights

Used Serviceable Material (USM) Product Type Insights

The used serviceable material (USM) market segmentation, based on product type includes engine, components and airframe. The engine segment dominated the market mostly due to rising wide-body engine part demand from engine MROs. Engine OEMs like General Electric and Pratt & Whitney significantly dominate the market for USMs based on engines. By acquiring parts and integrating them into the customer's engine using their expertise, these businesses ensure that the cost of the engine remains cheaper than that of newer engines.

Used Serviceable Material (USM) Provider Type Insights

The used serviceable material (USM) market segmentation, based on provider type, includes OEM and non-OEM. The non-OEM category generated the most income. MRO service companies and suppliers of specialty components make up the non-OEM category. Buying an airplane is to keep it in service for a longer period. Therefore, fleets of older aircraft that have been in service for more than 10 years or more are still without the most recent technological advancements.
