Global Aviation Calibration Services Market Report 2024-2030: Expanding Air Traffic and MRO Sector Drive Market Growth Amidst Calibration Service Challenges


Dublin, April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Aviation Calibration Services Market by Type (In-house Calibration, Original Equipment Manufacturer, Third-Party Vendors), Application (Avionic Instruments, Ground Support Equipment, Maintenance Tools), and Region - Forecast 2024-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Global Aviation Calibration Services Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2023, is estimated at USD 2.20 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 3.55 billion by 2030, showcasing a CAGR of 8.15%.

Rising air traffic, marked by an increasing number of air fleets, and the expanding global Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) sector, driven by the need for maintenance and repair of aging aircraft, stand as key drivers of market growth. Conversely, the high cost of aviation calibration services poses a significant restraint to market expansion.

However, amidst these dynamics lie opportunities, such as advancements in aviation calibration services aimed at maintaining operational safety, and the continuous evolution of aviation technology incorporating sophisticated electronics and systems. Challenges persist, particularly regarding the technological complexity associated with aviation calibration services.

Growing usage of in-house calibration for greater control over the calibration process

In-house calibration is a service conducted by an organization's internal team or department dedicated to calibration tasks. This option allows for greater control over the calibration process, scheduling, and immediate access to the calibrated equipment. It's particularly advantageous for aviation companies with highly specialized equipment or those requiring frequent calibrations. However, it involves significant upfront investment in calibration standards and equipment, as well as ongoing expenses for training and maintaining a skilled workforce. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are the companies that originally designed and produced the equipment or instrument.

Many OEMs offer calibration services for their products, utilizing their in-depth knowledge and technical specifications to ensure the equipment operates as intended. Opting for OEM calibration services can be advantageous due to the high level of expertise and the assurance that only original parts and software updates are available. Third-party vendors are external organizations specialized in providing calibration services across a wide range of equipment and instruments, including those from various manufacturers.

Choosing a third-party vendor can offer greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness compared to OEMs or in-house calibration. Many third-party vendors hold industry-recognized accreditations, guaranteeing a certain level of quality and competency in their services. This option is ideal for companies looking for a one-stop solution for all their calibration needs, regardless of equipment origin or brand.

High potential of aviation calibration services for ground support equipment (GSE) to ensure that the equipment functions correctly

Avionic instruments are the electronic systems used on aircraft, artificial satellites, and spacecraft. These include navigation systems, radar, air traffic control communications, and the black boxes that record flight data. Calibration ensures these instruments provide accurate and reliable readings. This is crucial, as even minor discrepancies in data can lead to significant navigational errors or safety risks. Calibration services for avionic instruments involve meticulous testing and adjustment to guarantee they meet stringent aviation standards. Ground Support Equipment (GSE) refers to the various tools and devices used to support the operations of aircraft while they are on the ground.

This category includes aircraft handlers, fuel trucks, baggage carts, and more. Calibration in this context ensures that the equipment functions correctly, ensuring the safety of ground crew and passengers, and preventing damage to the aircraft. Maintenance tools in aviation are used for the repair, maintenance, and inspection of aircraft. This includes torque wrenches, pressure gauges, and multimeters among other specialized tools. The calibration of these tools is vital; it guarantees that they provide accurate measurements and function as expected during maintenance tasks. Accurate tools are crucial for maintaining the integrity of the aircraft, ensuring that all components are fit for service and comply with safety standards.
