The Global Aircraft De-icing Market was valued at USD 903.78 million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.19% during the forecast period (2023-2030). due to climate change and induced weather volatility.
Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events worldwide, such as winter storms, snowstorms, and freezing precipitation in previously unaffected regions. These weather patterns present significant challenges to various industries, particularly the aviation sector. Managing winter weather conditions at airports, including aircraft de-icing, is crucial.
The impact of extreme weather events on airport operations was evident during the winter storm that struck Buffalo, New York, in January 2023, disrupting operations at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. The heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures led to flight cancellations and delays, highlighting the importance of effective de-icing procedures.
Similarly, Vancouver International Airport also faced operational disruptions due to extreme winter weather in early 2023, resulting in flight delays and cancellations. These incidents underscore the need for airports to invest in efficient de-icing equipment and procedures to ensure the safety and efficiency of flight operations.
As airports work towards improving their de-icing capabilities to address unpredictable weather conditions, there is a growing demand for de-icing fluids, equipment, and services. This increasing demand presents a significant opportunity for the de-icing market segment to expand and innovate its offerings to meet the changing requirements of airports and airlines.
Some of the major players operating in the market include Kilfrost, General Atomics, CONTEGO AVIATION SOLUTIONS, BASF Corporation, Collins Aerospace, LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V., Clariant AG, JBT, The Dow Chemical Company, and Vestergaard Company. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
“Amongst fluid type, the type II & IV segment dominated the market in 2022.”
Based on fluid type, the market is divided into type I, type II & IV, and type III. The type II & IV segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to show the same fashion in the forecast period. This is primarily driven by the superior performance and environmentally friendly characteristics of these fluids. Regulatory agencies and aviation authorities worldwide have encouraged the use of type II & IV fluids to ensure effective ice removal and minimize environmental impact. In 2023, a major aircraft de-icing fluid manufacturer introduced a new line of type IV fluids that employed advanced technology to improve performance and minimize the ecological footprint.
“Amongst equipment type, the de-icing trucks segment holds the significant market share in 2022.”
Based on equipment type, the market is divided into de-icing trucks, sweepers, and others. The de-icing truck segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to show the same fashion in the forecast period. De-icing trucks have large fluid tanks, allowing them to carry substantial amounts of de-icing fluids. This increased capacity reduces the need for frequent refills, leading to improved operational efficiency and reduced turnaround times for de-icing procedures. Additionally, De-icing trucks are equipped with safety features and systems to ensure the well-being of personnel involved in the de-icing process.
Amongst application, the commercial segment holds the significant market share in 2022.”
Based on application, the market is bifurcated into commercial and military. The commercial segment holds a significant market share in 2022 and is expected to showcase the same trend in the forecast period. The major factors contributing to the growth of the segments include the growing air traffic and the increasing sales of commercial fleet worldwide. Moreover, the strict regulations and guidelines set by aviation authorities regarding aircraft de-icing procedures have compelled airlines to invest in advanced de-icing technologies and solutions. Additionally, the growing focus on passenger safety and comfort has prompted airlines to prioritize effective de-icing processes to avoid delays and cancellations due to adverse weather conditions.
“Asia Pacific dominated the market for Aircraft De-icing market in 2022.”
Asia Pacific’s expansive geography encompasses diverse climatic zones. Countries in northern regions, such as Japan, South Korea, and parts of China, experience harsh winters with heavy snowfall and prolonged sub-zero temperatures. Meanwhile, high-altitude areas within countries like India and Nepal are prone to snowfall and freezing conditions, creating operational challenges for airports. Unpredictable weather patterns, including unexpected cold snaps and freezing rain, can also impact other parts of the region. These diverse conditions necessitate robust de-icing readiness to maintain flight operations during winter months. The Asia Pacific region is a global hub for air travel growth. It boasts several of the world’s busiest airports and has witnessed a rapid expansion of low-cost carriers, increasing accessibility to air travel. This surge in passenger traffic translates directly to a heightened demand for de-icing services during colder months. The exploration of eco-friendly de-icing fluids, such as those utilizing potassium formate or other bio-based alternatives, is underway, particularly in airports within Japan and South Korea.
