Opportunities:
- Mobile Surface Treatment Units: On-site services reduce aircraft movement and downtime.
- Partnerships with MRO Hubs: Establishing long-term service agreements with airlines and third-party MROs ensures recurring revenue.
Trends:
- AI for Paint Condition Assessment: Image recognition and machine learning are helping predict when repainting is due.
- Eco-Friendly Recoating in MROs: Compliance with green standards is a differentiator in the aftermarket space.
Conclusion:
The aftermarket offers recurring and high-margin opportunities for surface treatment providers. Companies that deliver speed, quality, and sustainability will thrive in the MRO-driven segment.
