Overview
Global Aircraft De-Icing Market is expected to reach USD 1,737.2
Million by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.92% during the
forecast period.
Extensive snowfall can hamper aircraft
functioning by accumulating on various surfaces, thereby delaying operations.
To avoid such delays and ensure safe take-offs, it is necessary to de-ice
aircraft surfaces. Aircraft de-icing operations are either performed by airline
operators or are contracted to third-party vendors. The need to ensure safe
take-offs and landings in adverse weather conditions is expected to drive the
growth of the market during the forecast period.
Segmental Analysis
The global aircraft
de-icing market has been segmented based on equipment, fluid type, and
application.
By equipment, the global aircraft de-icing
market has been classified as de-icing trucks, sweepers, and others. The
de-icing trucks segment is projected to dominate the market with a valuation
of USD 833.1 million in 2018. A de-icing truck maneuver’s
around the aircraft and sprays de-icing fluid on the critical parts of the
aircraft. De-icing trucks offer various features such as heated enclosed cabin
and maximum working height that assist in de-icing a larger area of the
aircraft. Furthermore, these trucks aid in reducing fluid consumption and
require easy maintenance. The sweeper's segment is expected to exhibit a CAGR
of 5.28% during the forecast period.
By fluid type, the global aircraft de-icing
market has been classified as type I, type II, type III, and type IV. The type
I segment is projected to dominate the market with a valuation of USD
564 million in 2018. Type I is a de-icing fluid that
assists in removing snow or ice from the external surfaces of the aircraft. The
fluid is combined in a 55:45 ratio with water and has low velocity. These
fluids have short hold-over time (HOT) or estimated time of protection;
therefore, they offer protection for a limited duration against further icing
caused by freezing precipitation. The type IV segment is expected to exhibit
a CAGR of 6.24% during the forecast period.
Based on application, the global aircraft
de-icing market has been divided into commercial and military. The commercial
segment is expected to lead the market with a value of USD 731.3 million
in 2018. The rise in commercial air transport and implementation of
stringent government regulations on aircraft safety have increased the demand
for aircraft de-icing in last the few years. For instance, the FAA provides
guidelines for de-icing narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. Furthermore, to
cater to the rising air passenger traffic, aviation authorities are investing
in advanced de-icing facilities. The military segment is expected to register a
higher CAGR of 5.06% during the forecast period.
Regional Analysis
The global aircraft de-icing market has been
segmented, by region, into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin
America, the Middle East, and Africa.
North America is leading the market with a
valuation of USD 731.2 million in 2018. The growth of the regional
market can be attributed to the presence of major manufacturers, such as Global
Ground Support LLC, JBT Corporation, Textron Inc., The Dow Chemical Company,
and United Technologies Corporation. The regional market is expected to
reach USD 1,126.6 million by 2025 at a CAGR of
6.55% during the forecast period.
Europe is projected to be the second-largest
market during the review period. The regional market is expected to reach USD
408.8 million by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.04% during the
forecast period. Asia-Pacific is projected to be the third-largest market
during the review period. The regional market is expected to reach USD
120.7 million by 2025 at a CAGR of 4.80% during the
forecast period.
Key Developments
- In October 2018, UTC Aerospace Systems, a subsidiary of UTC, signed a
     contract with Textron Aviation Inc. (US) to supply deicing systems on the
     latter’s in-development Cessna SkyCourier. The deicing system uses
     inflatable rubber boots made from UTC's Estane surface materials.
- In March 2016, MEGlobal Americas, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
     EQUATE Petrochemical Company (a joint venture between The Dow Chemical Company,
     Petrochemical Industries Company, Boubyan Petrochemical Company, and
     Qurain Petrochemical Industries Company), constructed a mono ethylene
     glycol (MEG) manufacturing facility at The Dow Chemical Company’s Oyster
     Creek site in Freeport, Texas, US.
