The increasing number of aircraft fleets and the growing profits of the airlines is predicted to result in high investments in de-icing equipment in the region.

The new market research report from Technavio provides a breakdown and analysis of the aircraft de-icing segments by technology.

“Airlines are increasingly using the tempered steam approach for high-bypass engine de-icing. Tempered steam technology is broadly used for de-icing the aircraft engine, body, tail, and wings. It provides steam at lower and safer temperatures, and it is equipped with an inflated blanket to contain the heat. It generates a vast amount of energy, which is around six times more than the energy produced by hot air. In 2012, airports such as Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto started to use this system to de-ice the aircrafts,” says Sriram Mohan, Lead Analyst, Aerospace & Defence, Technavio Research

The de-icer truck segment is the major revenue generating segment in the market, covering around 80% of the total market. The growth in aircraft backlogs and deliveries, and high investments by the airports and aircraft on the de-icing systems is expected to drive growth in this segment market during the forecast period.
