Market Overview:

The global De-icing agents market grew at a CAGR of around 4% during 2015-2020. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to continue its moderate growth during 2021-2026. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

De-icing refers to the process of removing ice, frost, or snow from a surface. De-icing agents are the substances that prevent ice formation by lowering the freezing point of water or solvent and assist in cleansing. These agents primarily include potassium chloride, calcium chloride, calcium magnesium acetates, sodium chloride, surfactants (wetting agents), UV-sensitive dye, etc. De-icing agents are extensively adopted for aircraft, roads, railways, etc.

The rising levels of ecological imbalance leading to winter precipitation and extremely cold weather conditions are propelling the adoption of De-icing agents for removing excessive snow and ice. Furthermore, the growing number of road accidents due to skids and collisions on frozen surfaces is also driving the need for De-icing agents. Apart from this, the expanding aviation industry is further augmenting the utilization of De-icing agents for reducing icing hazards. The increasing emphasis on enhancing passenger safety by ensuring safe landing and take-off operations, particularly during the winter season, is also bolstering the global market. Moreover, the growing adoption of numerous maintenance programs in the railway sector for removing accumulated ice to improve friction on rail tracks is further propelling the demand for De-icing agents. Besides this, the emergence of numerous sustainable De-icing solutions, including hot water, tempered steam, forced air, electro-expulsive separation, and electro-mechanical expulsion De-icing systems, is also fueling the global market. Furthermore, the increasing environmental concerns towards the negative impact of chemical-based De-icing agents are augmenting the need for eco-friendly product variants.
