This podcast discusses the booming market for PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval) parts in the aviation industry. Industry experts confirm that the market is experiencing significant growth, driven not just by the historical advantage of lower costs, but increasingly by the availability and short lead times that PMA providers offer, especially as Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) supply chains face strain. Key trends noted include the necessity for parts availability, the adoption of new technologies like 3D scanning, and even growing cooperation between OEMs and PMA companies to alleviate supply chain issues. Despite some minor impacts from tariffs, the overall outlook for the global PMA market remains promising, with continued expansion expected across both older and newer aircraft fleets.
