U.S. Used Serviceable Material Market Outlook:
The U.S. Used Serviceable Material Market was valued at USD 2.04 billion in 2025E and is expected to reach USD 2.83 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.19% during the forecast period. The market is fueled by the presence of a developed MRO sector, a large commercial and defense aircraft fleet, and stringent FAA certification standards, which have increased confidence in the use of USM. The growing use of narrow-body aircraft and ongoing spending on defense aviation operations are also contributing to steady market demand for high-quality serviceable materials.
Sustainability Initiatives and Regulatory Support Strengthen Market Growth:
The adoption of USM by airlines and lessors as part of their sustainability and ESG strategies is expected to increase, as used materials lead to a significant reduction in material waste, emissions, and costs. Traceability, documentation, and airworthiness certification support from government agencies are also enhancing market credibility and adoption.
Inventory Complexity and Certification Costs May Limit Market Expansion:
Although the market is experiencing positive growth, inventory complexity, traceability, and certification costs may hamper market growth. Small MRO companies and distributors are expected to experience margin erosion due to rising costs of compliance and a lack of access to high-demand materials.
