Naval Vessel Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Market – Trends Forecast Till 2030

Market Snapshot

Market Overview

The global Naval Vessel Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Market size is projected to reach a CAGR of 3.8% from 2023-2030.

The maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations conducted periodically on naval vessels are crucial for sustaining and extending the life of a ship. It involves all the functions related to the maintenance, overhaul, routine checks, inspection, repair, and modification of the vessel and its components. Performing MRO services helps ensure the safety and worthiness of the naval vessels.

The increase in investments in naval vessel MRO systems and outsourcing of naval vessel MRO services can favor market expansion in the near future. In addition, the integration of disruptive technologies, such as the Internet of Things, with MRO solutions to improve operations can also benefit the market. The availability of aftermarket components on multiple e-commerce platforms can also support the market upsurge.

On the other hand, the Retirement of maintenance-intensive vessels and environmental hazards are causes that can hinder the market rise. Additionally, insufficient funds allocated by the governments for mid-life extension and maintenance of naval vessels can restrain the growth of the market.

The market for naval vessel maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) was slightly affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting from a lockdown implemented as a precaution against the spread of the virus. However, due to the pandemic, the military budgets are expected to decrease in the coming years, which may hamper the fleet modernization plans of navy fleets globally. Several shipyards performing MRO activities have also faced delays in project executions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has led to the integration of advanced technologies to perform checks, inspections, and repairs of the existing fleets of naval vessels.

Delvens Industry Expert's Standpoint

The necessity to keep naval fleets operationally ready and effective drives a sizeable portion of the defense industry's market for naval vessel maintenance. A small number of significant defense contractors and government-owned shipyards dominate the sector, which is very concentrated. However, there are also a large number of specialized businesses that offer upkeep and repair services for certain systems or elements of navy ships, stimulating market rivalry and innovation. The aging of naval fleets, rising demand for cutting-edge technology, and the tendency to outsource maintenance tasks to specialized businesses are some of the reasons driving the market for maintaining naval vessels. In order to remain competitive and satisfy client needs, businesses in the market will need to keep making investments in new technologies, maintain a high level of technical competence, and offer high-quality, economical services.
