The MRO distribution or supply chain was traditionally considered an indirect component of industrial operations. However, MRO adoption has registered a considerable change within the industries, especially with the OEMs, considering MRO distribution channels as potential partners to enhance operational efficiencies, resulting in higher profitability. Simultaneously, technology & service outsourcing providers have developed specific solutions to address the needs of several regional end-use industries.

The manufacturers need to maintain their assets, including facilities, equipment, workforce, machineries, etc., as it is essential to prevent any machinery or equipment failure, which otherwise will lead to a loss in production and, eventually, loss of profitability. Hence, maintaining these physical assets is indispensable for running an organization efficiently. Manufacturers focus on optimum energy use, with minimum downtime, so that the physical capital lasts longer and remains an asset rather than becoming a liability. To achieve such production efficiency, the manufacturers depend on preventive maintenance and repair services, fueling the market growth.

North America MRO Distribution Market Dynamics

Driver: Expanding manufacturing sector in North America

The manufacturing industries play a vital role in the North American economy. Governments in the region have focused on developing the manufacturing sector to drive economic growth. This sector has been a dynamic force for economic growth, innovation, and productivity, serving as the foundation for various other industries such as rental, healthcare, financial, professional services, and technology. The United States has been at the forefront of innovation in advanced manufacturing technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), predictive analytics, smart factories, advanced materials, and more, which are crucial for future competitiveness. The shift towards more significant value and the use of advanced technology is expected to drive the manufacturing industry further. The United States is among the top five countries that have invested in advanced manufacturing technologies and processes. Industry experts predict that advanced technologies will remain among the top ten technologies in the coming years. New and favorable regulatory policies in the United States, focused on profitability, monetary control, technology transfer, foreign direct investments (FDIs), science and technology, intellectual property protection, safety, and health regulations, serve as indicators to attract new businesses and create a competitive advantage. The North American region receives significant investment in manufacturing thanks to its strong energy profile, high-quality infrastructure, talented workforce, and robust industrial clusters that support innovation. The United States has always been a key player in this cluster.

Driver: Various initiatives taken by manufacturers to attain a higher level of operational optimization

The maintenance of assets, such as facilities, equipment, workforce, and machinery, is crucial for manufacturers to prevent any machinery or equipment failures. Failure to do so can result in a loss of production and, ultimately, a loss of profitability. Therefore, it is essential for organizations to maintain these physical assets efficiently. Manufacturers strive for optimal energy usage and minimal downtime to ensure that their physical capital remains an asset rather than a liability. To achieve production efficiency, manufacturers rely on preventive maintenance and repairs. Manufacturers are actively pursuing various initiatives to enhance key performance indicators in the region. These initiatives involve analyzing the facility's equipment or machinery to prioritize repairs and determine which resources need to be replaced or transformed. Additionally, routine preventive procedures are implemented to maintain the machinery in optimal working condition. Over the past few years, North American manufacturers have increasingly embraced these key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure smooth equipment operations and organizational success.

Restraint: Process inefficiencies and waste of MRO materials

MRO products and their materials vary based on the specific requirements of different industries. These materials and services are used in the process of production and maintenance to operate, repair, and maintain machinery, equipment, and facilities. They are referred to as MRO services and materials. Procuring materials or services for maintenance and repair may seem insignificant and often falls below the endorsement thresholds. However, these seemingly unimportant purchases made by organizations are frequently underutilized and difficult to control, resulting in increased costs and unnecessary inventory wastage. The expenses associated with maintenance and repair constitute a significant portion of operating expenses, thereby impacting a company's operational profitability. Inefficiencies in MRO materials and waste management services typically manifest in three ways:

  • Extensive inventories that move slowly or sluggishly.

  • Wastage of time and resources.

  • Deficiencies in ERP or other systems.
