Market Dynamics
Introduction
Ice protection systems refer to protection against the accumulation of atmospheric ice on the edges and surfaces of aircraft such as wings, engine intakes, rotor blades, and others. Ice protection systems work on the basis of two major systems, anti-icing systems and deicing systems. Electrical, as well as chemical along with many other technologies, is used for ice protection systems.
Market Drivers
The major factors driving the growth of the ice protection systems market are:
- Growth in air traffic.
- New airline business models in emerging economies.
- New airport projects in developed economies.
The market is characterized by incessant technological progressions through new product developments. These advances are guided by increased applications in which different anti-icing equipment and deicing fluids are used.

By Application Type
Based on the application type, the market is segmented as engine inlets, nacelle, wings, tail, propellers, windshields, sensors, and air data probes. The windshields segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. The likelihood of ice build-up on windshields is usually the highest as compared to the other parts of the aircraft, which increases the weight of the aircraft and obstructs the front view of the pilot, thus, resulting into aerodynamic stall and loss of control of the aircraft. This is the major factor boosting the demand for ice protection systems for windshields during the forecast period.
By Technology Type
Based on the technology type, the market is segmented as electrical, chemical, and others. The electrical segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the coming five years, as thermal pneumatic or pneumatic boots and electro impulses are extensively employed for aircraft anti-icing and deicing.
By Platform Type
Based on the platform type, the market is segmented as commercial jets, military jets, and helicopters. The commercial jets segment is estimated to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, driven by the active number of fleets worldwide and the rise in global air traffic. The installation of ice protection systems in any type of aircraft does not pledge the safety of flight in icing cold conditions lest the aircraft has gone through rigorous testing and is certificated to fly in such weather-beaten conditions. The FAA-certified systems and the non-hazard systems are the two types of deicing systems installed in commercial jets, which safeguard the aircraft from accidents caused by ice formation. The utilization of these systems is expected to boost the demand for ice protection systems.
Regional Insights
In terms of regions, the ice protection systems market in Europe is estimated to register the highest growth during the forecast period. The market is driven by the fact that European countries have been increasing their commercial fleet size owing to a surge in air travel and passenger traffic and defense expenditure to underpin their battle operational capacity. This is expected to consequently contribute to an increased demand for ice protection systems in the region. North America and Asia-Pacific are also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.
