Aircraft disassembly and demolition involve the systematic process of taking apart and recycling aircraft at the end of their service life. The process begins with decommissioning, where the aircraft is evaluated, and valuable components such as engines, avionics, and landing gear are removed for resale or reuse. Following this, the airframe is stripped of any remaining parts, including aluminum, titanium, and other metals, which are sorted and sent for recycling. Hazardous materials like fuel, oils, and hydraulic fluids are safely removed and disposed of according to environmental regulations. The final stage is the demolition, where the aircraft’s structure is broken down, often by cutting or crushing, and the remaining materials are recycled or disposed of. This process is essential for both environmental sustainability and the economic recovery of valuable resources, with specialized companies managing everything from the disassembly to the resale of recovered parts​.
The global Aircraft Disassembly & Demolition market was valued at US$ 5740 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 8915 million by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
Generally speaking, an aircraft enters the retirement stage when it reaches 15 years old. The number of retired aircraft in the world is increasing year by year, and a large number of aircraft will be retired in the next 20 years. Boeing's report predicts that the world will need more than 44,040 new aircraft in the next 20 years, nearly half of which will be used to replace in-service aircraft. The Aircraft Recycling Association (AFRA) predicts that an average of more than 1,000 aircraft will be retired each year in the next 15 years. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this trend, causing the number of retired aircraft to increase to 1,500 to 2,600 each year. The disposal of retired aircraft assets is crucial to the operation and profitability of airlines, and how to maximize their value has become an important issue in the global aviation industry.
The global aircraft dismantling and remanufacturing market is worth $100 billion and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6% to 7%. With the development of technology and the second-hand aircraft and aviation material market, the rate of scrapped parts has decreased, and the reuse rate has increased to more than 90%. The annual growth rate of the second-hand aviation material market is expected to reach 5.5%, and the market size will exceed $10 billion in 2033.
The aircraft dismantling industry has become relatively mature in developed countries and regions such as Europe and the United States, and has developed into an aircraft dismantling and recycling industry. The aircraft dismantling industry has been booming in developed regions of Europe and America, the Middle East and even Southeast Asia. As a major aviation manufacturing country, the United States has more than 80% of the world's aircraft dismantling companies and business volume, with an annual output value of hundreds of billions of dollars; Africa is tending to become a gathering place for second-hand or even third-hand aircraft in the world, and some aircraft are converted into cargo planes in Africa. As an important part of the aviation manufacturing industry, aircraft dismantling and remanufacturing has become a natural extension of the aviation industry chain, and its development trend is very rapid.
