Aircraft De-Icing Market Report 2020 | Industry Insights By Growth, Emerging Trends 2025
According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Aircraft De-Icing Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2020-2025," the global aircraft de-icing market grew at a CAGR of around 6% during 2014-2019. Aircraft de-icing is the process of removing ice, snow and frost from the surface of an aircraft. Since frozen contaminants interfere with the aircraftu2019s aerodynamic properties and dislodged ice may even damage the engines, de-icing measures are widely taken across the military and commercial aviation sector when met with freezing conditions and heavy precipitation on the ground. Various de-icing agents are used for this that are prepared using ethylene glycol and propylene glycol-based fluids to protect the metal surface. Numerous additives, such as dyes, water, corrosion inhibitors, wetting agents and thickeners, are also added to the fluids. These components are crucial for reducing the freezing point of water and decontaminating the aircraft body prior to take-off.
