AIRCRAFT DE-ICING MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2024-2031)

Aircraft De-icing Market Size and Trends

The Aircraft De-icing Market size was valued at US$ 1.24 Billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 1.83 Billion by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% from 2024 to 2031.

Market Trends

Adoption of infrared and electro-expulsive de-icing technologies: The adoption of infrared and electro-expulsive de-icing technologies is having a significant influence on the aircraft de-icing market. These new technologies are more efficient and environmentally friendly compared to traditional de-icing fluids. Infrared de-icing works by using high-powered infrared lamps to melt the ice without using any fluids. Similarly, electro-expulsive technology uses electric charges to break the bond between the aircraft surface and the ice. Both these methods cause much less damage to the aircraft surfaces and do not require the use of glycol-based de-icing fluids which can harm the environment.

The airlines and airports are moving towards these new technologies to make de-icing more sustainable and reduce turnaround times between flights. For Instance, Stringent aviation regulations necessitate the removal of ice and snow from aircraft surfaces, compelling the use of specialized de-icing solutions. The aviation industry's focus on passenger safety and operational efficiency fuels the need for advanced de-icing chemicals and fluids, driving the market's growth and continual innovation in this sector. The benefits of faster de-icing operations and environmental sustainability are driving more players in the aircraft de-icing market to adopt infrared and electro-expulsive technologies.
