The global Maintenance Repair and Operations (MRO) market is projected to reach CAD 1.39 trillion by 2029. This growth reflects a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.40%.

A key driver behind this upward trend is the increasing focus on reducing operational expenditure. Companies are leveraging MRO activities to enhance process efficiency and optimize supply chain management. By integrating predictive maintenance solutions and connected devices with the Internet of Things (IoT), businesses are not only improving operational efficiency but also contributing to market growth.

Technological advancements play a crucial role in shaping the MRO landscape. The adoption of IoT and predictive maintenance tools enables more accurate forecasting of equipment needs and maintenance schedules, thus minimizing downtime and boosting productivity. As industries continue to evolve, these technologies are becoming essential components of the MRO sector, driving its growth.

Economic expansion and a burgeoning manufacturing sector further fuel the MRO market’s trajectory. North America, leading in market share and revenue, is expected to maintain its dominance through the forecast period. The region’s growth is largely due to its rigorous standardization of equipment and services in critical manufacturing operations.

Focusing on Canada, the MRO distribution market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% through 2028. This growth is driven by periodic maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities aimed at reducing operational costs and boosting industrial productivity.

The rise of domestic oil production, exploration activities, and shale gas transportation in Canada has heightened the need for large-scale machinery. The harsh operating environments of such machinery necessitate regular MRO services, which are increasingly in demand. Consequently, the mining and oil & gas industries are significant contributors to the expansion of Canada’s MRO distribution market.

As we look ahead, the global MRO market is poised for substantial growth, driven by technological advancements, economic factors, and sector-specific demands. The ongoing emphasis on efficiency and productivity ensures that MRO will remain a critical component of industrial operations worldwide.
