Aircraft De-icing Market Analysis
The aircraft de-icing market is anticipated to register a CAGR of above 5% during the forecast period.
- Airports are required to be technologically advanced and equipped, to serve the ever-increasing air traffic without any interruptions and cancelations, due to weather conditions. This led to various airports bringing new facilities and technologies into airports, which are expected increase the de-icing operations, worldwide.
- Technology is always at the forefront of an efficient de-icing operations and all the airports and airlines are investing significantly in leading-edge equipment that helps in efficient de-icing operations. The development of new methods and techniques for the reuse of de-icing fluid is expected to have a huge impact on the aircraft de-icing market.
Aircraft De-icing Industry Segmentation
Icing up is a process of freezing of moisture on critical external surfaces of an aircraft on the ground before the flight. Freezing of moisture or formation of ice on aircraft control surfaces may result in loss of control and addition of weight, while also adding drag resistance. Frozen precipitation or frost on aircraft surfaces also compromises an aircraft’s ability to obtain sufficient lift for departures. To avoid this, aircraft de-icing techniques are used. The aircraft de-icing market includes the de-icing methods used in military, commercial, and general aviation aircraft to remove the ice deposited on the surface of the aircraft. The market study also includes the sales of de-icing equipment and chemicals used in the deicers.

Aircraft De-icing Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Aircraft De-icing Market according to our research experts:
The Commercial Segment to Experience the Highest Growth During the Forecast Period
The commercial segment of the market has the highest market share, and it is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. With the increasing passenger traffic around the world, the aircraft movements are increasing, and to reach out to passenger expectation, the airlines are investing in new technologies that may help them reduce the time for de-icing the aircraft. Additionally, the airports are investing in new infrastructure, which is expected to make faster de-icing and save the cost incurred in the de-icing. For instance, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport announced its plan in 2018 to build a USD 50 million south de-icing facility to reduce flight cancelations during snowstorms. Initially, this facility is expected to have space for five large planes to be de-iced at once and when it is finished, the airport may have space for about 20 planes to be de-iced at a time. Moreover, the development of fluids that can be recycled and used may greatly reduce the operating costs of the airports, and they are anticipated to create a significant impact on the aircraft de-icing market during the forecast period.

The North American Region to Experience the Highest Growth During the Forecast Period
Currently, the North American region has the highest market share, and it is anticipated to record the highest growth during the forecast period. This is majorly due to the increasing passenger traffic, along with increasing aircraft movements from the airports in the United States. Since the region has some of the busiest airports, the need for effective and fast de-icing methods is high in this region. Due to regular storms and adverse weather conditions in the United States, the icing is often observed on the surface of the aircraft. In January 2018, the US airlines canceled more than 1,100 flights, and more than 3,000 flights were grounded due to a massive storm and similarly, in January 2016, the airlines canceled nearly 6,300 flights in the country, due to blizzard weather conditions with cold and ice hit. To tackle such situations, the airports and airlines in North America are investing in better de-icing technologies and infrastructures for avoiding future delay and inconvenience to the passengers.
