The aircraft de-icing market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.22 billion in 2023 to $1.29 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be linked to operations in cold climates, strict safety regulations, the growth of air travel, more frequent occurrences of snowstorms, increased air traffic, and a concentrated emphasis on operational efficiency.
The aircraft de-icing market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.58 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The projected growth in the upcoming period is driven by environmental regulations, the incorporation of sensors and automation, the expansion of airline fleets, the heightened occurrence of extreme weather events, and global cooperation on setting standards. Significant trends anticipated in this forecast period encompass progressions in de-icing technologies, the adoption of environmentally sustainable de-icing solutions, the integration of intelligent de-icing systems, the increased demand for de-icing equipment in emerging markets, and the enforcement of stringent regulatory standards.
The anticipated surge in demand for air travel is expected to significantly bolster the aircraft de-icing market in the coming years. Air travel, which involves the transportation of passengers by flight to their destinations, necessitates stringent safety measures, including effective aircraft de-icing processes. De-icing procedures are crucial for ensuring the safety of passengers and crew by removing ice and snow accumulation on aircraft surfaces. Notably, the International Civil Aviation Organization highlights that ice accumulation on aircraft wings can diminish wing lift by up to 30% and increase drag by 40%, creating adverse effects on flight performance. Additionally, in 2022, there was a substantial 47% increase in the number of air passengers compared to the preceding year. This surge in air travel demand is a pivotal factor driving the growth trajectory of the aircraft de-icing market, emphasizing the critical need for these safety procedures in ensuring safe and efficient air travel.
The growing emphasis on environmental consciousness is poised to propel the expansion of the aircraft de-icing market. Environmental consciousness signifies an awareness of the interdependence between humans and the environment, emphasizing the imperative to protect and conserve natural resources. This heightened awareness has spurred the development of environmentally friendly de-icing solutions, prompting the adoption of new technologies and practices in this domain. For instance, findings from a survey conducted across 24 countries by Mastercard Inc. in April 2021 revealed that 85% of adults were willing to take action to address environmental and sustainability challenges, with 58% expressing mindfulness regarding their impact on the environment. Consequently, the burgeoning environmental consciousness among individuals and industries is fostering the growth of the aircraft de-icing market, driving the demand for eco-friendly de-icing solutions to mitigate environmental impact while ensuring aircraft safety.
Product innovation stands out as a prominent trend driving evolution within the aircraft de-icing market, with major companies focusing on developing advanced products and forging strategic collaborations to enhance their market presence. For instance, CAV Systems Ltd., a UK-based provider of fluid-based ice protection systems, unveiled TKS 406 BIO in October 2023. This specially designed fluid, intended for use in CAV's TKS in-flight anti-ice and de-ice protection system, boasts biodegradability and non-corrosiveness. Applied on the aircraft's leading edges through titanium panels with laser-drilled holes, the mixture disperses aerodynamically once it encounters supercooled water in clouds, eliminating residue buildup on the aircraft frame.
Major players in the aircraft de-icing market are prioritizing collaborative efforts and partnerships to deliver reliable services and drive innovation. One such collaboration occurred in March 2022 between TKH Airport Solutions BV, a Netherlands-based provider of airfield ground lighting (AGL), and JCAII Inc., a Canada-based company offering airport software and equipment. Their joint endeavor aimed at developing an advanced smart de-icing pad leveraging TKH's CEDD airfield ground lighting technology - a low-voltage system employing contactless energy and communication technology.
