On Dec 8, Global Info Research released "Global Aviation De-icing and Anti-icing Equipment Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032". This report includes an overview of the development of the Aviation De-icing and Anti-icing Equipment industry chain, the market status of Aviation De-icing and Anti-icing Equipment Market, and key enterprises in developed and developing market, and analysed the cutting-edge technology, patent, hot applications and market trends of Aviation De-icing and Anti-icing Equipment.
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Aviation De-icing and Anti-icing Equipment market size was valued at US$ 512 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD million by 2032 with a CAGR of % during review period.
De-icing and anti-icing equipment refers to the range of equipment used to prevent the accumulation of snow, ice, and frost, whether by electromechanical, chemical, thermal, or pneumatic measures. These are most commonly used to remove snow and ice from aircraft and thoroughfares, but serve other limited purposes.
De-icing Equipment refers to devices or systems designed to remove existing ice accumulation from surfaces (e.g., aircraft wings, wind turbine blades, power lines) through physical or chemical methods (e.g., mechanical vibration, heating, or de-icing fluid sprays). Common technologies include electrothermal de-icing, pneumatic heating, and chemical agents (e.g., glycol-based fluids).
Anti-icing Equipment refers to devices or systems that prevent ice formation on surfaces under freezing conditions (low temperature, high humidity) through active or passive measures (e.g., surface heating, anti-ice coatings, ice-phobic materials). Typical applications include aircraft engine inlet anti-icing and ice-resistant coatings for power lines, aiming to intervene before ice adhesion occurs.
Globally, the de-icing and anti-icing equipment market in the aerospace sector is experiencing steady growth driven by increasing air traffic, stringent safety regulations, technological advancements, and changing climatic conditions. And some enterprises, like Safran, Collins Aerospace (RTX), GKN Aerospace, etc. are well-known for the wonderful performance of their de-icing and anti-icing equipment and related services.
In terms of product type, de-icing and anti-icing equipment can be divided into Mechanical De-icing System, Liquid Anti-icing System, Electro-thermal Ice Protection and others. In 2024, Electro-thermal Ice Protection accounted for a share of 61.15% in the global de-icing and anti-icing equipment market.
From the perspective of product application, Aviation De-icing and Anti-icing Equipment is widely used in Civil and Military. The Civil holds an important share in terms of Application, and it is expected to reach a value of US$ 392.81 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 4.37% during 2025 and 2031.
The global key manufacturers of Aviation De-icing and Anti-icing Equipment include Collins Aerospace (RTX), GKN Aerospace, Meggitt (Parker Hannifin), Cox & Company, Liebherr, Honeywell, Ultra PCS, Hutchinson, CAV Systems, Ice Shield (SMR Technologies), LDI - Laminar De-Ice (Villinger), etc. In 2024, the global top five players had a share approximately 68.15% in terms of revenue.
Major future trends include:
1. Integration of Intelligence and IoT Technologies
Future de-icing and anti-icing equipment will increasingly adopt IoT, AI, and big data analytics for real-time monitoring and automated control. For instance, China’s intelligent infrared wind turbine de-icing system automatically switches between anti-icing and de-icing modes based on environmental data, significantly improving efficiency. Smart vibration-based systems for power lines utilize edge computing to predict ice formation and trigger preventive measures.
2. Eco-Friendly and High-Efficiency Materials
Demand for biodegradable and chloride-free de-icing agents (e.g., potassium acetate) will rise to mitigate environmental impact1. Non-contact technologies like infrared heating and electro-pulse systems are gaining traction due to their energy efficiency. China’s infrared de-icing technology reduces energy consumption by 50% compared to traditional methods while avoiding structural modifications36.
3. Expansion into Emerging Sectors
Beyond aviation and roads, renewable energy infrastructure (e.g., wind farms and power grids) is a key growth area. Innovations such as China’s non-contact wind turbine de-icing system enhance energy output by 50% during icy conditions36. Power grid anti-icing technologies, like gravity-shift-based systems, reduce ice-related failures.
4. Regional Market Dynamics and Policy Influence
The Asia-Pacific region, led by China, is projected to grow fastest due to climate challenges and infrastructure investments. North America remains dominant, but stricter environmental regulations are driving demand for sustainable solutions.
5. Adaptation to Climate Change
Equipment must evolve to address extreme weather variability. Lightweight, low-energy solutions (e.g., AI-powered vibration systems for power lines) combined with weather prediction capabilities are critical for proactive ice management.
In summary, the aerospace de-icing market is moving towards increased efficiency, environmental responsibility, and technological innovation. The ongoing need for safer and more reliable aircraft operations in colder climates will continue to drive demand, ensuring sustained growth in the sector. Manufacturers who can offer cost-effective, scalable, and sustainable solutions will be well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities.
