According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Commercial Aircraft Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) Market by Type (Engine, Component, and Others), Application (Small Widebody, Medium Widebody, Large Widebody), and Region 2025-2033,” the global commercial aircraft parts manufacturer approval (PMA) market size reached USD 11.4 Billion in 2024. Commercial aircraft parts manufacturer approval (PMA) is a formal certification process overseen by aviation regulatory authorities, most prominently the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. This certification is a crucial endorsement that authorizes the manufacturing and sale of replacement parts for aircraft by entities other than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The process ensures that PMA parts meet or exceed the safety and performance standards set by the OEM. The PMA system helps foster competition in the market for aircraft components, offering airlines and maintenance companies alternative, often cost-effective, sources for parts without compromising on quality or safety.
Global Commercial Aircraft Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) Market Trends:
With a growing number of airlines and an aging fleet, there is an ever-increasing demand for high-quality, cost-effective replacement parts which is effectively addressed by the PMA market, which offers competitively priced products that match or even surpass OEM standards. In addition to this, the rising pressure on airlines to enhance operational efficiency necessitates timely and cost-effective maintenance solutions, fueling the demand for PMA parts, that offer quicker turnaround times and reduced total cost of ownership. Moreover, the increasing adoption of leading materials and manufacturing technologies, such as additive manufacturing (3D printing) and composite materials, allowing manufacturers to develop parts that are lighter and more durable, are creating a favorable outlook for market expansion. In line with this, the global shift towards sustainability and environmental responsibility is positively influencing the market growth, as manufacturers increasingly adopt eco-friendly processes and materials to align with the aviation industry's broader goals of reducing carbon footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Additionally, the rise of digital platforms for procurement, which offer transparency, real-time inventory tracking, and convenience, streamlining the sourcing of PMA parts is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the globalization of supply chains enhances accessibility to emerging economies with rapidly growing aviation sectors, thereby expanding the customer base and enabling risk diversification for PMA manufacturers, which contributes to the market growth. Apart from this, the shifting focus towards predictive maintenance in aviation, enabled by data analytics and machine learning (ML) algorithms, heightens the demand for timely parts replacement, providing lucrative opportunities for market expansion. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 15.6 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 3.5% during 2025-2033.
