LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, January 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- "The maintenance, repair, and overhauling services for defense equipment have become increasingly vital as global defense forces expand and modernize. This sector plays a crucial role in ensuring that military assets remain operational and mission-ready. Let’s explore the current market size, growth drivers, key regional players, and emerging trends shaping the future of this important industry.

Steady Market Growth Expected in Defense Equipment Maintenance, Repair, and Overhauling Services
The market for defense equipment maintenance, repair, and overhauling (MRO) services has witnessed strong growth recently. In 2025, the market size is projected to reach $88.45 billion and rise to $95.26 billion by 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. This upward trend stems from the expanding global defense fleets that require regular MRO support, the increasing complexity of military platforms across air, sea, and land domains, and the intensification of military operations that result in more frequent wear and damage. Additionally, a growing dependence on original equipment manufacturer (OEM) authorized overhaul services for critical mission systems and the need to refurbish aging defense assets contribute significantly to this growth.

Growing Defense Spending as a Major Market Driver
One of the primary forces behind the market’s growth is the continuous rise in defense expenditure worldwide. Defense spending refers to the financial resources allocated by countries to build and maintain their armed forces and related defense capabilities. Within these budgets, significant funding is directed toward MRO services, which are essential for maintaining the safety, reliability, and combat readiness of military equipment. For example, in April 2024, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), a respected Sweden-based organization, reported that global military spending reached $2.443 trillion in 2023. This figure represents a 6.8% increase in real terms compared to 2022. Such substantial increases in defense budgets directly support the growth of the defense equipment maintenance, repair, and overhaul services market.

Regional Market Leadership and Growth Trends
In 2025, North America emerged as the largest market for defense equipment MRO services, driven by its advanced military infrastructure and high defense budgets. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region over the coming years, fueled by rising defense investments and modernization efforts in countries across the region. The market analysis encompasses key areas such as Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa, providing a comprehensive view of global market dynamics.
