Aircraft De-icing Equipment Market Size & Forecast
Aircraft De-icing Equipment Market Size & Forecast

The global aircraft de-icing equipment market was valued at USD 573.78 million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.19% during the forecast period (2023-2030). due to the surge in air travel & growing aerospace industry.


Aircraft De-icing Equipment Market Analysis


The relentless increase in air travel continues to be one of the most fundamental drivers fueling the aircraft de-icing equipment market. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasts global air passenger numbers to eclipse 4 billion in 2024. This growth, particularly in regions with severe winter weather, translates into a higher demand for de-icing equipment solutions to guarantee safe flights. Moreover, aviation authorities worldwide have become increasingly rigorous regarding safety regulations surrounding ice and snow contamination on aircraft. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) strictly mandates that aircraft cannot take off with even trace amounts of frost, snow, or ice build-up, as it significantly impacts aerodynamics and lift. These stringent safety protocols make de-icing equipment services a vital and non-negotiable aspect of airline operations, particularly in cold climates. Failure to comply risks severe penalties, flight delays, or even tragic accidents. Airports and airlines are therefore investing heavily in efficient de-icing equipment technologies, fluids, and infrastructure, propelling market growth.


Some of the major players operating in the market Oshkosh Corporation, Textron Inc. (Textron Specialized Vehicles), Kiitokori Oy, Alvest Group, Vestergaard Company, Global Ground Support, LLC., Aero Mag, LNT Solutions, Cavotec SA, and TREPEL Airport Equipment GmbH. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.

“Amongst equipment type, the de-icing equipment trucks segment holds the significant market share in 2022.”


According to the equipment type, the market is categorized into de-icing equipment trucks, sweepers, and other categories. The de-icing equipment truck sector was the dominant force in the market in 2022 and is projected to maintain its lead in the upcoming forecast period. De-icing equipment trucks are designed with large fluid tanks, enabling them to transport significant quantities of de-icing fluids. This enhanced capacity minimizes the necessity for frequent refills, resulting in enhanced operational efficiency and decreased turnaround times for de-icing procedures. Furthermore, de-icing equipment trucks come equipped with safety features and systems to ensure the safety of personnel involved in the de-icing process.


Amongst application, the commercial segment holds the significant market share in 2022.”


Based on the application, the market is divided into commercial and military segments. In 2022, the commercial segment holds a significant market share and is expected to continue this trend in the forecast period. The major factors such as increasing air traffic and rising sales of commercial fleet globally contribute to the growth of these segments. Furthermore, stringent regulations from aviation authorities on aircraft de-icing equipment procedures have led airlines to invest in advanced technologies and solutions. Additionally, the emphasis on passenger safety and comfort has pushed airlines to focus on efficient de-icing equipment processes to prevent delays and cancellations caused by severe weather conditions.

“Asia Pacific dominated the market for Aircraft De-icing Equipment market in 2022.”


The Asia Pacific region’s vast geography includes a variety of climatic zones. Countries in the northern regions, like Japan, South Korea, and parts of China, face severe winters with heavy snowfall and extended periods of sub-zero temperatures. Meanwhile, high-altitude areas in countries such as India and Nepal are susceptible to snowfall and freezing conditions, posing challenges for airport operations. Unforeseeable weather patterns, such as sudden cold snaps and freezing rain, can also affect other parts of the region. These varying conditions highlight the importance of having reliable de-icing equipment prepared to ensure smooth flight operations during the winter season. Asia Pacific is a key player in the global air travel industry, with some of the busiest airports in the world and a significant rise in low-cost carriers, making air travel more accessible. This increase in passenger traffic directly correlates to a higher demand for de-icing equipment services in the colder months. Efforts to explore environmentally friendly de-icing equipment fluids, like those incorporating potassium formate or other bio-based options, are currently underway, particularly in airports located in Japan and South Korea.
